    Holy shit. This is it.

    I cannot think of anything more insane a ‘youtube family’ can do than this. I legitimately can’t. My mind is blanking. I mean, we can start going into the illegal territory (‘watch our family kill a random person!’), but this is pretty much the most...I don’t even know the word for this. Someone save the other two kids, their parents have lost their minds.

    If you don’t want to respect your own privacy, at least fucking respect the privacy of your extended family as their grieve the loss of a family member/friend. What the fuck.

      That would be a great idea for a short film: Watch our family kill a stranger!

    Lemme tell you how dumb this shit has gotten — just in overhearing conversations between friends of my 9-year-old, whenever someone taking video is present (which is 100% of the fucking time no matter the event) some child will say “Ohh, this is going to end up on YouTube!” ..as if that’s the expected end-result of any and every video clip taken, no matter the subject, entertainment value, running time, light quality. YouTube has become the de facto video clip repository for all who take videos, “ending up on YouTube” is now something generally presumed.

    ..Oh, but, lo, there is yet another YouTube-related element that I catch that is much much worse, and that is the mention of YouTube Stars. The fact that these kids know the names of these “stars” — you know, children of horrible parents who gave them insufferable names (Blompden, Graedyn, whatever) sitting there examining a toy and “reviewing” it for 20 minutes while quirky hipster-light “kids talking about things” ukelele music plays in the background and now get free shit from Mattel to “review” their toy on their channel that now gets assloads of traffic — and now aspire to become these kids by filming their own mock review videos.

    Also, apparently, saying the word “hashtag” is now a thing among third-graders. URghrg.

    I used to love seeing the general advancement of technology and am cool with my kids becoming programmer nerds like I was when I was a child, but the level this shit is taken to now is beyond stupid — it’s getting harder and harder to hide my disgust for it and I can’t quite accept that this is the way shit’s gonna be. I never thought I’d miss the days of the 2400-baud modem... :[]

    These people and the “Christian” miscarriage couple should get together and go bowling.

      I hate that youtube made all kinds of imbeciles famous and rich.

      What happened to the miscarriage family? Haven’t heard much from them since the Ashley Madison mess. God, that was so satisfying.

      This. Someone needs to make some sort of content network that requires using a command line interface or something to keep the olds and the normies from ruining it.

      Even Facebook was decent back when it required an @.edu email address to register.

      I know it sounds terrible to think, but I had that thought too...especially with the “miscarrage” couple. Or the balloon boy deal.

      Only if their local county sheriff who announced the death was in on the whole scam as well.

      And just think, there is an entire GENERATION who feel this exact same way. I don’t know exactly what the ramifications will be of kids and millennials growing up so shallow and self obsessed and self absorbed as they sit staring at their blue screens for 18 hours a day....but it’s not going to be good.
