  1. Good point. Masterbation was invented in 2005. Damn internet!

  2. Please explain, and be specific, what's "toxic" about videos that are just bizarre.

  3. This video is an abomination. So many cringeworthy lines. The very last line was the only intelligent thing said in the whole video. He equates AI to violence. He talks about "weird" videos as if they're so harmful that growups will need psychological therapy just for looking at them. WTF? If this is the type of stuff you're worried about, then life will not be kind to you.

  4. The vast, vast, vast majority of the videos are just weird. Who cares? So what there's a guy in a diaper burying Spiderman. That's weirder than outer space robot dinosaurs attacking outer space SUV's in Hong Kong? Transformer movies are every bit as weird, plus ultra violent. Unless the videos are telling kids to specifically go harm someone, what's the problem?

  5. YouTube videos are stunting the mental growth of children? Please explain, and be specific (no buzzwords nor generalized angry sentiments) exactly how you feel their mental growth will be "delayed".

  6. Yeah, this video was an abomination. I made a long comment with very specific criticism because my head was exploding listing to point after point of false equivalency. Cringe worthy, yet it got a standing ovation and overwhelmingly supportive comments and Likes. Makes me sad.

  7. Keep your children away from McDonald's, not the internet.

  8. You mean the incredibly obvious point that humans created societies and AI, so it's no shocker that they might resemble each other? That's like being shocked that you hired Picasso to paint your car and it turned out to look like a Picasso.

  9. Ginger too.
