Discussion What is the point of these streams?

They don’t seem to be having any fun, it’s a looped video more often than none, and they are full of little kids saying not-so child-like things… are these some sort of plan to hurt kids??

It's ragebait.

These people dont care about adulation or respect, they could care less if you hate them or find them morally apprehensible. Their only interest is getting you to click, giving them a view.

Most people will click out of anger to see how many others are annoyed, not realizing they're actually helping the channel. You can fight back against this by installing some sort of content blocker which will filter the shorts entirely.

That would be nice, I do enjoy watching shorts, I like the V-Sauce videos and the actual content from actually good creators, I hate content thieves and copiers. There’s like 8 “car channels” that use a random European guy’s voice a d just create the same exact videos over and over again.

To add more context, they were spinning a ruler and hitting each other with liter bottles… I watched it for about 15 minutes and it’s just a loop of the same video. I dont know what it is, but lowkey, it makes me anxious. My mind immediately thinks it’s something evil, like a scam, or an abduction plan, or something worse. Am I overreacting?
