I want to point out to everyone that the youtube analytics regarding age groups cannot be trusted and when i tell you why, you will realise how obvious it is.
The fact is that you must be over 18 years old to make an account on youtube or gmail or any of the google services but lets stick to youtube.
So if a person under the age of 18 wants to sign up they must lie about their age which makes the analytics on age groups totally unreliable so next time a 30+ year old youtuber boasts that his core audience is not a bunch of 10 year olds, the fact is that he cannot say this for certain and will never know the true age of his audience due to this FACT, therefore is not being honest.
Having said that, there is nothing wrong with entertaining people of any age but when you knowingly entertain kids as young as 11 it is important to act appropriately as you would in real life.
I have recently had a difference of opinion on this matter with a certain youtuber and it is disappointing that he does not address this matter but continue to allow young children to listen in to him speak of adult topics live on discord and other places without filtering himself. I am not sure if this is a common practice but it is the first time i have encountered it on the internet and i was shocked as was the 11 year old i spoke with who continues to listen in and watch uncensored videos as much as she wishes while openly stating her age. He has no problem with it. His only response was that he assumes they have parental consent due to the requirement of a credit card to join. The excuse of assumed parental consent doe not fly with me just as it would not irl. Infact even with parental consent no adult would speak of adult topics in front of young children and i for one would punch another in the face if i witnessed this irl. Most adults would.
After this discovery i no longer attended his places.
I did enjoy helping out and giving advice on his forum and it is the reason for creating my own. I dont care if nobody reads it. I have created this place to get my own shit off my chest and if anybody else is entertained or wants to join in they are welcome.
I dont think there is much else i can do about that guy other to do my best to inform him that it is wrong and to not participate in anything of his, which is what i have allready done.
I wont mention this again but it has bothered my soul for about a month now, especially because he wouldn't listen to reason. I wont mention this again and i have unsubbed from all his stuff.
What i do know is that when you do immoral things the universe catches up with you, wether it is illegal or not, ill make another post soon on what i think about karma.
I actually have him to thank for inspiring me to make this forum. If nothing else it is a great outlet for me to type stuff.
I dont want to speak of this again and only put it here to get off of my chest so dont bother replying here. If you know who i speak of thats fine but i dont want that persons name here so keep it to yourself please.
This will be the last i speak/type about it and i wish this out of my head as of now because it bothers me when i see his mug on the internet now. It is a shame because precious to this, I did enjoy his stuff but now i just cannot stomach any of it.
