Dhar Mann’s channel is another interesting cultural signal of what kind of content tweens are being groomed with: https://youtube.com/@dharmann?si=vsNv2M2S7LfbVvVt

What is abhorrently revolting is the total amount of “Gold Digger” videos +100 and counting..

Wow. I expected this to be just bad clickbaity content, but I didn't expect this level of algorithmic-driven slop. Disturbing. 25 million subscribers, too; millions of views on every single video, one new hour-long video of this insane crap every few days. All clearly directed at children.

yeah it's totally f'd up.

This is the NEW children "fables" that are teaching the next-gen modern "morality". My 11yr old made me aware of it, and I've seen like 20 of them now.. about 22% are OK in terms of messaging/values. But the danger lies in that the 9-13yr old kids watching this stuff will take most of it literally as 'this is how the real-world works'.

Sadly no one else if filling this niche better and he seems to have found the algo.

Dang. I wanted to see what "the youths" were watching so I scrubbed through a couple of those videos.

The people in them make me feel like the world's most accomplished actor.
