10. this is why I loathe the online world more and more as time goes on

i deleted my twitter before signing on here and if I go back I vowed to only follow journalists. I understand that young unformed minds can be quirky in what they find appealing. What I don't like is how the online world is completely without discernment and gives the wrong kinds of folks a platform, an immense following, and literally millions of dollars in some cases, all for doing things that are completely without merit. Back in the day all these people would have had would have been some obscure cable tv channel. Now they have the potential to be incredibly powerful and shape young minds to go down completely misdirected paths and there is nothing I have seen whatsoever that convinces me that parents give enough of a damn to strictly regulate what their children are exposed to online, I see almost zero evidence that anyone is paying enough attention to the people that their kids are coming into contact with online.
