Asked a kid today what they wanted to be when they grow up. He said a TikTok’er lmao how did it get this bad?

How has this happened?? Who’s to blame? Bad parenting or pop culture influences?

How old was the kid. I used to name all sorts of absurd shite when Ibwas a kid. I sure as shite wasnt ever going to be come an astronaut. His choice is at least attainable.

Probably 9th grade-ish. Bro’s gf’s little brother. It’s just weird that’s a career choice nowadays, and a kid would aspire to be that. How have we gotten to a point in society people dream about being a YouTuber lol wow

I wanted to play metal for a living when I was his age, maybe not as lame but it was a lot more unattainable than Tik tok stardom. Like I said 100x less ghey tho

You got a global audience now. Doesn't take but a million followers to make a darn good living doing regular TikTok stuff. And it continues to pay those videos don't just go away. It's like fricken insurance.

TikTok et al are the very definitions of psy ops. Our children are literally being targeted and destroyed. Intentional parenting is the only solution because our government is in on it.

Tik Tok and YouTube are different, but both platforms have single handedly made thousands of such kids worth more than you will ever be.

My sons friend is doing the same thing. He has the grades to get into any school he wants, but he’s forgoing school to be an ‘influencer’. He’s already getting a couple hundred a month to wear certain clothing brands on his channel.

It seems so odd to me, but he’s a hard worker and has the look and ability to make it work.
