People around the world are starting to realize that Generation Alpha is encountering a lot of hardship, and are seemingly heavily effected by the content they consume. These kids are struggling with school, socializing, and attention spans, and its only getting worse. Is it thanks to Skibidi Toilet? Or is there something more at play... Well in this video, I set out to discover and discuss the Tragedy of Generation Alpha.

Parents will do anything but blame themselves for not controlling what their kids watch
Yeah, parents are trash now at their job that they basically signed up for. I mean if you plan on having kids or doing the nasty learn how to parent stg
@slidersides yeah. I did get a phone very young but we didn't have internet yet nor did I know what WiFi was so what I did was just take pictures, it didn't last long because I just played with my toys and watched TV (mostly disney) and I'm glad we didn't get internet early on cuz I would've been a completely different person if we did
@@slidersides pretty much.
Tale as old as time
@@internettrash5120 yeah, and the shows now aren’t as good as they used to be imo. I kinda wish I went out more as a kid when I was still being an IPad kid ngl
Moral of the story: Don't let the internet raise your kid.
who would've known
@@rafaelgabrielgarlinidal-bo9496 Nobody! (Hint: EVERYONE)
Precisely, when you allow the Internet to raise your kid, you are allowing everyone online to raise your kid. This results in the child being influenced by not only good influence but more so of negative influence, and false information. This is also something we must be aware of as teens and even adults
Unless it's Cat Lynn (@clawedbeauty_101) or Melanie Martinez
well the internet raised me and i turned out half okay, sorta. idk i think im just in denial about my way of being raised
Based off of the disgusting anime game ads I’ve been seeing recently on this very platform, gen alpha is about to face WAY worse things than just that skibidi toilet degeneracy
dear God, your right! I pray to God that this NSFW content is banned from RUclips entirely.
They say yelling and spanking is abusive to children but hows sticking devices in a childs face and ignoring them practically neglecting them not considered abuse?
Agreed, its pretty fucked up. Yelling and hitting is a more obvious show of abuse (even then you'll find plenty of idiots who think otherwise), but the more nuanced forms of abuse like neglecting your child by shoving a screen in their face isn't as obvious or direct, so most people are gonna be oblivious to its negative affects till its too late. Very sad stuff.
I am not saying that you should yell at your child, for the smallest reasons what I’m trying to say is if your child being real disrespectful to you at least yell back at them to stop
It’s not abuse it’s just discipline. You don’t punish your children for simply no reason, they had to of done something wrong in order to need correction and gain the concept that there are consequences for your actions. Without this, gen A is created and has the biggest lack of respect and empathy I’ve ever seen
@@oliviastone9694 discipline can be done without yelling or hitting. There's still plenty of Gen Alpha children who are hit and screamed at and they are just as disrespectful, if not more (usually they are from lower income areas, from what I've noticed). The parts of Gen Alpha that aren't beaten are disrespectful because they're NEGLECTED, not because they aren't being hit or yelled at? A parent would rather shove a device in front of their child rather than teaching them. And the ones that are beat are also neglected, they're just likely to be more aggressive, if anything. Proper discipline encompasses redirecting and teaching a child, not scaring them. If you're an adult, act like one. We tell children to "use their words" when they're screaming and crying, but then we don't use ours? We expect our children to be better, but then we don't lead by example? Screaming doesn't explain why a behavior is bad, and it's confusing because you hit children but then tell them hitting and screaming is wrong when they do it. And I can very confidently say that Millenials, Boomers, Gen X, Gen Z, ALL of them struggle with lacking in empathy, that's a societal problem. Lacking in empathy is what makes people hit their fucking kids. A lot of people seem to think gentle parenting us permissive parenting, but they're not the same things at all. Teach your children, and if you can't teach them without violence then you shouldn't have children, sorry. It has a clear negative mental effect on people, even if they insist otherwise (usually, this is just them being extremely emotionally repressed). There's plenty of evidence on it, you likely just chose to ignore it because that's how you were raised.
@@oliviastone9694 you're wildly misattributing the issue of neglect to "oh, well kids just aren't disiplined." It's a rather backwards mentality and ignores the root of the problem; parents aren't spending time with their kids.
As a parent, the idea of sticking a tablet in a 2 year old's face and then saying "Why does little Timmy have such an issue concentrating? Why is he so upset all the time?" genuinely concerns me for the kinds of kids my children are gonna have to grow up with.
Not to mention what types of content theses kids they're exposed to will effect them mentally
-I left this reply on someone else's comment, so I just copied it all to save myself half an hour, either way, all of this still applies here-
Absolutely! Nothing beats reading a new book from your favorite series, or listening to counting Stars by OneRepublic on the way home from school on the radio. I think the problem is that there's no delay or effort needed before getting what they want. If they were to work for it, they would earn the satisfaction of having earned it, and understand that what they're getting is special. Otherwise, you have to learn to enjoy what you have. Parents these days should really consider things like taking their kids fishing. Heck, fishing is a perfect example of an ideal childhood. At first, it seems really slow, but with enough patience and effort, eventually you'll receive a huge reward, And it'll be worth it... Fuck, I wasted fifteen minutes typing this up, but I guess I just needed to let out all of my thoughts... If parents see this, please, just take your kids fishing, hiking, I don't give a shit. This new generation needs to experience the real world. Have them listen to some early 2000's music while you're at it... I'm Henry, a 15 year old boy, and I have seen some of the things my niece and nephew normally watch. Please, for the love of god, help save the next generation... Fuck, there goes another ten minutes...
-With love and hope,
Henry
Yeah…I’ve kinda understand that I’ve thought the same thing. 😂
What is it with parents these days complaining about problems in their children that they themselves caused? It boggles my mind, genuinely.
I live in China and we are feeling the effects of the internet in moderation, I can’t imagine the west.
When will parents realize that technology is not a substitute for a babysitter? I grew up in the 2000s without a phone. I had my cartoons and my video games, yes, but they didn't consume my life. I went outside, I rode my bike, I played with toys, I made new friends. It breaks my heart that less and less kids are growing up with these crucial things.
Edit: It's worth clarifying that I don't believe all technology is bad for children. I think it's ok for kids to be introduced to things like phones and computers gradually as they become old enough to be trusted with them.
It's also important to remember that moderation is key. RUclips and video games are fine, as long as they're age appropriate and the kid isn't glued to their screen 24 hours a day. Social media though? Yeah. Keep them far, far away from that hot mess.
Also, my username is a joke. I just thought it was funny.
Taking the iPad away from one of these kids is like taking the vape away from a nicotine addict, shits scary

Moral of the story, as always, PARENTS NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT THEIR CHILDREN WATCH.
And set restrictions
For obv reasons... yes
Nonsense! We just need to demand SusanTube to crack down harder and implement greater censorship! We just need to demand that the government punish businesses and outlaw the things that we don't like! What could possibly go wrong?
They need to definitely watch what their kids watch nowadays. Everything is more worse than the past :/
moral of the story is also, Parent's need to stop using tablet's, phones, and stuff like that to babysit their children. Disconnect that internet and give them an NES or SNES it's how we grew up in the day.
I remember when my sister and I used to hold court sessions with our stuffed animals. We didn’t have enough to form a full courtroom so we just had to make do with a two person jury. I made a hammer out of this
soft foam stuff. Two kids making stuffed animals sentence each other to capital punishment is what childhood is all about.
Funny enough, my sister and I, with a large collection of blankets and stuffed animals, had an entire set of games we would play. Sometimes it would be a set of stores that the other animals, other times it was a massive Captain America:Civil War superhero fight, we even had a wedding at one point, over all it was a lot of fun, and way better of a use of time than most kids content
dude, when i was small, i had an army of fillies. I probably had 30-40 of them. we regularly used to commit genocide with them or make wars happen. also a looot of horse family drama happened in those years
Now that you've mentioned it, a serious court show with stuffed animals as characters will be fucking hilarious
Who had the better lawyer?
@@britneybij3997lol
This reminds me of when flappy bird was all the talk in the past, but when the game was removed, everyone forgot it. Soon, people will forget about skibidi toilet and move on like how everyone forgot about flappy bird or many other events like the elsagate controversy
Idk about that. The series will still be preserved, and on youtube and like alot of sfm animations it will age well
And we would die before it even happene
Or similiar like Angry Birds in the early 2010's. As the time pass the game eventually become nothing more than the shadow of it's own glory.
how do you just say shit like "skibidi toilet syndrome" with such a serious toned voice bro i love you 😭😭😭
24 year old male here, and as someone who plans on having children 10 years from now I must thank Gen Alpha and their parents for giving people like me guidelines on how to raise children:
Just do the opposite of what they're doing!

Man, I'm only 21 and I'm already feeling like an old person worrying about the newest generation and how they'll turn out 😭
I’m with you there 😓
just dont worry about other people and their lifes
I'm 19. My little brother is a 7 year old tablet kid. This shit keeps me awake at night.
I'm 18 and I be feeling like a 63 year old worrying about today's generation.
hey. I am only 18 and I feel exactly the same...
As a part of gen Alpha myself, i feel like we had the worst set up we could possibly have had. While i'm not in the age where i'd watch something like skibiddy toilet or lanky box, i still feel like i've been affected by the internet more than someone my age should, same for my friends. Something that especially affected me and other kids my age that i know irl, was the pandemic. I myself, used to be a giant nerd and i loved going outside and playing all day, but after two years of being inside, i just- don't know how to be social anymore, atleast not as much as i used to. And in school not only me but a lot of my classmates are behind where we should be, most of my class is already failing this first bimester and it worries me about how the rest of the year will play out. And something i don't see a lot of people talking about is how all of this has and is affecting us not only academically, or socially, but mentally. And i don't mean mentally as in our attention spams either, i mean emotionally. A lot of people i know that are around my age are very emotionally unstable, and from personal experience i feel like that's probably because of how much of the real world we discovered so early. I know that kids might always snuggle their way into information they should not know, and that everyone's experiences are different online, but having access to the internet so early just exposed so much of the world that i wish i didn't discover at my age, like hearing about murder cases, predators, gore, p0rnogr4phy, wars, etc etc. I trully hope that gen alpha, when we grow up, manage to create a safer enviroment for the next kids.
As a kid
I LOVED to watch pocoyo , tom & jerry and duck tales
The earliest thing i got to seeing gaming was venturian tales
Which got me involved in gmod
God i love that game
Watching this is so heartbreaking. My little sister is glued to her tablet, she doesn’t touch ANY toys despite having so many. She only talks to her friends at school. She doesn’t have interest in sleepovers or playing at all. I keep trying to tell my parents how harmful this is to her development and childhood but they just won’t listen. It breaks my heart watching my sister grow up GLUED to her tablet. She can’t even watch a single movie anymore without getting bored and needing her tablet. She can’t spend time with family without begging for her tablet. It’s just depressing…
What does she watch?.
@TeamCrabRAVE
In my experience with a sister that fits this exact description, generally content farms and nothing else
@@AllMyDreamsAreLucid those lankybox guys (sorry if I got the name wrong) and all the channels that resemble and post the exact same stuff. She’s expanded onto watching silly Fnaf SFM content recently which imo is better. She also plays roblox a lot
@@thisnameisbad3609 exactly this yeah
this is the exact problem my brorther is facing right now. Luckily for me though we got him to watch some actual real TV shows, and so he became interested in playing with the toys. I think it would be really helpful to your sister if she got to watch an actual TV show because they don't tend to be as highly edited as those youtube videos, and since theres merch she'll be able to play with the toys and use her imagination. I recommend bluey cause my siblings watch it and I watch it with them sometimes and from what I can tell it's really great. A warning though, a lot of kids shows have weird internet fandoms (my brother for example watches thomas, and now draws this creepy Thomas.exe thing everytime he gets a pencil and paper). I hope this helps
Today I saw three kids sitting in a triangle (the oldest was about 9, the youngest about 3) all on their phones watching RUclips shorts. Watching Millenial parents not realize that giving their children access to the internet while they can barely form a sentence is bad makes me feel very ill.
Take the phone and give them a ball. They can learn the rolling game.
I was at an airport on the 31st to go back home after vacation, and at a restaurant inside the airport, there were 5 children under the age of 10 at the very least who were all on their iPads, silent, just staring at it, not talking to eachother either.
@@amigoRBLXreally sad to see what society has become
@@amigoRBLX I'll be honest, I was born in 2005, I saw that when I was a kid. Fortunately I was never one of them, sometimes I would ask my mum for her phone but otherwise I liked to just do my own thing. it's not brand new. it's been happening for at least 10 years. Doesn't make it any less sad
My gen Z friend who's a father does the same. Its a problem...
If I have kids I ain't showing the internet until they are 13
I grew up with a KINDLE as a kid
But all I really watched was Kipper the dog and cried internally about how amazing the sweets looked
Those were good times
It's actually scary imagining how they'll even function as an adult years down the line
The sad truth is they'll need a fundamental change to even let them function, these parents are artificially handicapping their kids.
Right- I mean so many of them can’t read or spell simple words and it’s so concerning. Something seriously needs to be done
@@ash4302_ i get asked a lot by my classmates (13, 8th grade) on how to spell certain words, i dont remember specifically what they ask, but its always very simple words. and also, a lot of people in my school read very slowly.
there’s actually no way. at this point I’m scared that I’m more mature then these kids/teenagers. (I’m NINE)

Real
Stop giving them ipads
@@nocaptainmatt3771 instead I will make them watch shows that everyone grew up with
It’s the parents that are failing. Giving in to their children’s demands. It’s pathetic.
My daughter loves the original Teen Titans cartoon. Parents today are to blame, I hate my generation for the potential of ruining the next...
I was insanely close to being a gen alpha birth-wise, and with very few restrictions on the internet, I feel liked I dodged a bullet - even with as fucked as I am, I feel like I could've been so much worse off mentally. Being able to see all this is something that just... breaks me a little. I'm not wishing I was blissfully unaware or anything, but the feeling of not being able to change anything is brutal. My little sister was also way too close to the dodgier side of the internet, but luckily me and my uncle managed to talk some sense into my mum, who keeps a close eye on her now.
Then there's my young cousins.
Seeing them, seeing that they just... aren't as well kept as me and my sister, because of the size and state of their families, makes me feel so... small. I can't see them often enough, nor do I feel close enough to them to tell them everything I know.
I just wish I could help.
I am an 11 year-old child and just watching a younger generation than me going through This really makes me sad, but I’m lucky that my young sister doesn’t have the same thing.
Life lesson: Be a parent, don’t give a newborn an iPad, make sure it’s actually kid friendly, and don’t blame others
When I’m a parent I’m not letting my kids have phones or iPads until they’re 11
No, until they're 13@@justadudeinterestedintitan3569
@IAmAnAwesomeGamer I’m not saying that skibidi toilet is inappropriate I’m saying it shouldn’t be watched by kids under 8 because they’re gonna become addicted to it
That's true, but I still question the creators decision to make things like this, being that they are targeting kids directly with inappropriate thumbnails and scripts.
@@justadudeinterestedintitan3569 it’s ok to give kids consoles like Xbox or Nintendo because I turned out fine with a Wii U and Switch and tell them games are fake/raise them right to make sure they don’t kill people while playing GTA
A while back in a store, I saw a mom dragging her son who looked hypnotized, only staring at her phone holding it in one hand, it's sad how parents give kids limitless internet access and then get mad at their kids not being able to do anything else but rapidly consume the short form videos
I can imagine that kid having strain eyes with all the screen time , ouch
@@eye_parasite And a stiff neck too, kid was slouching
That was a exact problem with us, Gen Z, and the Millenials with the PC's, kids didnt want to go out to play videogames or get basically hypnotized in the old RUclips
Now our labour is not to complain, yet it is to protect the children from the harmful content that many corporations secretly make, It's our labour to protect gen alpha, just as the millenials did with our generation.
Whenever I find myself on YT shorts, I have to snap myself out of it and remind me that it’s no better than TikTok and that I have better things I could be doing.
@@drewholmes7356 If you want to nip the problem in the bud, there's scripts and extensions that outright hide Shorts from you but it's much harder to do on mobile which doesn't have such tools. I do this myself on my PC setup because I hate the things and they always get included in the search results so blocking them cleans that up.
Parents: "I just can't control what my child watches online!"
Me: "Who bought the ipad and controls the wifi password?"
Parents: "...."
imagine 20 years old boys are playing skibidi toilet and this kind of games..
I realy want to die if this will be our future💀
I find it funny how most of us who were born in Gen Z find these stuff that Gen Alpha watches are considered cringe, when literally most people who were born before us would also find the stuff we used to watch as “cringe”
The cycle would most likely continue, I can’t lie
Actually, as a Gen Z from 2009 to 2015 I watched videos that were played by the generation before Gen Z. (Millennials probably) and I wasn't considered cringe because adults that were gaming could relate. They definitely relate to me saying what gen alpha is watching is cringe and everyone from Gen X, millennials and gen Z can agree that gen alpha are the ones that are doomed. gen z can be saved if they weren't tiktokers.
Very late millennial here (1994), when you guys started calling us cringe, I started low-key waiting for the day you'd turn boomer on gen a. Saw it happening from a mile away. 😂
I'm a Gen Z (2001). Seeing everything change from my little siblings life, I feel everything such a social media content and influence has a negative impact on all of us. However, I'm of the belief that it has greatly impacted the social skills and thought patterns of Gen Alpha significantly more.

Parents need to say “No” more to their kids
Real.
Exactly
Agree

Absolutely. Not saying no is harmful. It’s always okay to say no to a child. Yes, there’s other ways to say no rather than just no, but people won’t always be so nice with them.
I work at a toy shop. A mother literally came in around the Christmas period, feeling lost over what to get her kids for Christmas as they mostly spend time online and never go out with friends, or play with toys.
It’s a very real issue, unfortunately
Yeah. I was entirely lost on what to get my youngest sibling this year for christmas. Shes turning 8 this year and she genuinely has no interest in stuff that isnt playing roblox or watchibg youtube. I wanted to get her a crafting kit to make a hobby horse, since i have seen a lot of them pop up and be very popular where i live, and i LOVED all types of crafting kits as a kid, and when i told my mom she told me to not even bother with crafting kits because my sister wouldnt use them. Hearing that genuinely made me entirely lost and kind of made my heart break, because at least in my experience from when i was a kid, crafting kits were all over the place and most kids loved them. I ended up making a knotted bracelet for her because i couldnt think of anything else to give her, since she doesnt play with most toys either. Its so sad to see.

Are they autistic? My son has Autism and was diagnosed at the age of 3. He's never had any interest in toys except very recently (he's turning 11 so its taken this long for him to develop that interest). If they are neurotypical though, that is very concerning.
@@Bonkpunktexethis just made me realize its similar with my little bro. Christmas and his birthday came around recently. Loads of awesome toys! I would have loved them at his age… but there either just layed out somewhere, in the trash, or not opened.

This was great at explaining the current situation on the internet, but is anyone else experiencing a glitch where on certain RUclips channel's videos, the video menu flickers every single second?
Im very glad i live in the eastern world, where parents still do most of their job as a, well, parent (most of them)
I live in a not really strict but atleast they know what im doing is wrong or right, caring, and the most important, parenting

As a gen z kid who watched Tom And Jerry as a kid, this is terrifying to see in gen alpha
same
Also being a gen Z kid... same.
Tom and Jerry was actually the sh!t
same
I was born in 2009 now even though I am really close to gen alpha I act more gen z but I definitely see the gen alpha in kids my grade. But I am technically gen z. But I agree Tom and Jerry was amazing
As someone who was born in the late 2000s, it’s no wonder that my parents were so strict when it came to the internet when I was 6 years old.
at least skibidi toilet or content farms like this didn't exist at the time
@@shoebill208 True. The days without skibidi toilet were the good days.
Almost 20 in a few months. All I had at the age of 7 up until 11 was a blackberry phone my dad let me borrow for like an hour or two at the most every evening. And these kids are having tablets shoved in their faces as soon as they are out the womb clearly.
I don't blame the skibidi toilet, it's the fault of the stupid parents who don't even care about their kids and just let them fry their brains all day
I guess I'm lucky that I went to the decent path despite having a tablet in my face and doing a bunch of useless things for a decade. but as a 16-year-old, I don't think all of 'em can be compared to whatever the hell's rottin' the gen alpha these days. a few even shaped the dream I'm aiming for now.

Same here, im actually worried the newer generation will have the same thing but much worse (i'm 14 too)
The generational talk is making this more difficult. Parents since Internet and social media have largely struggled.
If you’re a parent and you want a tip about raising kids to prevent possible screen addiction, what my mom did for me to regulate time watching RUclips was to have one hour per each book/chapter I read of a book and have a full conversation of what I thought about of what I read with. It really helped me not only not stay on screens all the time, but encouraged me to read and also helped me understand what I was reading and how to talk about the themes. I don’t know if this helps, but I think my mom doing this for me really helped me. So if you have time to do this with your kid, I really encourage trying it. Start with shorter books, and get to chapter books.
ur mom is a genius
My mum used play money where 5 dollar notes were 5 mins on the computer, 50 was 50 mins etc, and I'd earn the play money by doing chores, having good manners and being courteous, doing homework unasked etc.
I have limitless screen time but for some reason can read entire chapter books in under 2 days.... Can anyone please explain how I'm still doing this? (Idk which generation I'm in but I might be Gen Z.)
@@reetusbeetus If it's something you enjoy, then you can spend hours doing it. Playing video games, reading, going on your phone for hours on end; it's the same thing. Loads of people have the same experience as you
also Gen Z classes from people born 1997 - 2010 I think?@@reetusbeetus
I work at a daycare with preschool aged children. Previously, I was a high school English teacher. Ive worked with every age group in between and I plan to start a family in the coming months. Needless to say, I have a huge heart for kids and it's wonderful to hear others sharing that sentiment in an increasingly antinatalist world. I have seen it all first hand. The horrific behavior, the blatant disrespect towards authority, the screen addiction, and worst of all, the sexualization of children. It has bled through all ages of gen alpha. I'm genuinely heartbroken for these children who have such desperate and/or braindead parents
gen alpha makes me sad to what the world will come to.
@@Ghostassassin390 It's scarier because I don't think we can do that much about it.
@@Ghostassassin390 Gen Z was the final generation. Gen A is where humanity resets.
Gen Z (my generation), has been the experiment... they knew it all along, I knew how bad it was gonna get.
But I didn't know it would be this worst.
Disaster level : ipad kid
I have two little cousins, I love introducing them to the games I loved as a kid and still love now. They love hearing about it and seeing my collections. My uncle and auntie didn’t shove the iPad in their faces and they still play with toys, I love them so much and I love it when my cousins show me their Pokémon cards and toys.
I'd also really like to see you make a ranking video for kid shows. Rank old and new kid shows. It can be a fun way of also informing parents which shows to avoid and which are the best, not just for their kids but that parents will like too, so that they can actually enjoy watching these shows with their kids instead of leaving them alone on a screen.
Ye, I know it's probably a different style of video from your channel, but I personally would love to see it
One of the most amazing yet heartbreaking memories I have is when a really young family friend was having a meltdown during a power outage, and I got him to calm down by just sitting down and singing to him. It's heartbreaking because I think that was the first and only time anyone had ever tried to sing him a lullaby, one of the most basic parent/child interactions.
damn
That’s heartbreaking. The musical bond of a parent singing a lullaby to their child is such a strong connection of caring and comfort. When will parents realize that a computer cannot provide that warmth and comfort that only you can provide.
This is very sad and scary.
@@gumbly4174 I am assuming that being that clueless, to not even sing to a child is rare, even now...
@@jordanphilipperris Or learn balance, or 'treats'. We read at least 5-10 little books a day when our kids were small. Chapter books when they got older. No tv or pc until you studied and read at least a whole short book or several chapters. Played outside. You can have tech, as long as it doesnt rule you. As for little kids....let them play with toys or outside!!
This literally breaks my heart....im a mother to a 3 year old and I will die defending my choice to NEVER buy her an IPad or give her a phone. I cant imagine ignoring your child and pushing this crap on them. The furthest ill venture is Bluey on the Living room tv and that is more than enough for her....
Good job, many parents now can't seem to fathom interacting with their children and give them a screen to busy themselves.
We need more parents like you!!
You most certainly should get her a phone when she is at least 7 though. As soon as their going to school regularly they need one. Considering all the creeps these days.
It’s up to us Gen Z parents to make sure our kids never go through the same traumatic internet childhood we were exposed to
7 is too young, I was 12 when I got my first phone. I advise getting a device at 11 to prepare for middle school, anything younger shouldn’t have a phone, at most an iPad maybe.@@pillowswithcats
I’m 10 and your right my brain is hurting with trauma because of images and story’s on the internet for example red mist it scares me and I get nightmares I can’t stop thinking about it so please don’t let other kids see what i saw please.
this made me cry ;)
thank you bro
Remember guys, don't mindlessly hate the Alpha kids. It's not their fault this has happened to them.
They deserve better. We all deserve better.
Their parent did this to them. So it’s not the childrens' fault.

it’s never the children’s fault, it’s always about who raised them
you can’t hate a kid
Just blame the ineptitude of previous generations.
I feel like Gen Z has also been affected by this as well. I’m a 20 year old Gen Z college student who still struggles with RUclips addiction that affects my daily life. The addiction started back when I was in elementary school around the mid to late 2000s and would watch what are now considered internet classics like jumpscare compilations, old gameplays, RUclips poops, and brony content. By the time elsagate videos started popping up, I was fortunately old enough to recognize how garbage they were and avoided them.
I’m on the autism spectrum and suffer from depression/anxiety caused by past trauma of failure, which makes it very hard for me to try new things and maintain interest in hobbies, so watching RUclips gives me an easy dopamine rush that I can never get out of anything else. I recognize this is a problem and am currently taking meditation/yoga classes and seeing a mental health trainer to better tend to my mental health and overcome my addiction.
I don’t speak for all of Gen Z but I truly envy the past generations for not having to deal with these harmful addictions brought on by the internet. I can only hope things get better for both myself and others going through the same thing.
Holy shit that's a total mood for me. I think I can definitely relate to you as someone else with autism in struggling to grow up quite a bit and succumbing to an internet addiction, wanting to spend a lot of time on Discord to compensate for issues with social anxiety and awkwardness. That whole meme about "eating without RUclips" sure as hell had some truth to it at this point, and even if I'm doing quite a bit better with college and expect to graduate soon, I fear I'd not fully remember important things I've learned afterwards.
It's for the best I start taking up something that doesn't require my PC more often, like perhaps dabbling in traditional drawing given I'm already learning digital art.
You just described my childhood and teen years, my friend.
Same and I think what made gen z what they are isn't only the internet but 2020 after people stayed inside they got used to watching on the internet
1997 born and while maybe I wasn’t really affected as a young kid I still think as social media and mobile devices have become normalized, we have ALL been negatively affected. But gen alpha growing up not knowing anything else is greatly concerning.
@@ArbitraryOutcome I’m glad you’re thinking of getting into traditional drawing and already have an interest in digital art. I hope I can find a hobby/skill to be passionate about someday, though I’ve lately been thinking of getting back into learning how to play guitar. It all depends on how long I can stay invested in it 😅
This the first video I watched from you ever but it gives a sad vibe
I just got slapped by nostalgia when you mentioned the Minecraft song parodies, Gangnam style, what does the fox say, EvanTube, etc.

Same but i dont hate em
A few months ago, I stayed with my mom and twin brother at a second women’s shelter after we were nearly evicted from our home, considering my dad’s emotional abuse towards us. While we remained there until moving into an apartment in early November, I was mortified that the kids who ended up down in the living room, kept consuming mindless Elsagate content. There was a time where some kid nearly stole my mom and twin brother’s phone whilst hyperactive. Parents raising their kids on iPads was a mistake. And I can’t stop them from letting the child they raised lose them, only some. You’re such an oracle to this age of technology. More people need to hear your wise words!
Hey there. Sorry to hear that. I hope you're doing better without that scumbag of your dad. Have a nicr day

Only thing that has ever had me worried about Gen Alpha even after this video, is having kids in this generation and trying to raise them correctly. I'm just worried other kids in gen alpha are gonna make people's kids think that they're missing out by not using the internet 24/7. It's just worrying in all honesty
Let’s let them watch Classic cartoons like Tom and Jerry! Or maybe Pixar Movies!
I was so disappointed in myself. My younger brother got infected with the skibidi toilet syndrome
When I realised that I realised how bad it really is
Some time soon after that like a month after that
We disinfected him
Now I have regained my sanity
I think what bothers me is that Skibbidy Toilet wasn't made for kids and has a very deep message on big media and the small content creators going up against such as the series progresses. The problem is, parents don't pay attention to what their kids watch, which means that videos like this lose their meaning and become kids' clickbait due to their virality, turning said videos unfairly into the villain. It's actually really sad.
What struck me is how quick toys based on recent properties will be churned out. It only took mere days for people to "come up" with merch of poppy playtime, skibidi toilet and stuff like that
Just like squid game is a commentary on capitalsm but somehow a certain side of the internet made it for kids
@@amagicalbeing7427 That's true
I’m still surprised that people are so stunned that children mimic characters in their shows (ex skidibi toilet) and that some young kids will inevitably get bratty when told no. If your kid actually gets that bent out of shape over being told not to watch something, then you need to step up as a parent to get them to better manage their disappointment at being told no or see a medical professional if they really can’t be taught to better regulate their emotions. It’s sad to see people blame literal children for this stuff.
@trashcan2748 dude, same. Not too relates to what you said but I was bullied iver not liking minecraft by these kids at my old school. The sane kids would just randomly scream "MINECRAFT WIDA BOSS 🗣😤🔥‼️" like bro what.
Times like these, I reflect on how lucky I was to have two loving parents in a stable home, who sat me down with real physical games, real physical toys, and most importantly, real physical books. I didn't even know what a Nintendo was until I went to school, and only got to play one or watch TV if my behaviour and grades were kept to a high standard.
At the time, I thought I had arbitrarily strict, stuffy, boring parents. Nowadays, I can only imagine what a hassle it was to maintain those boundaries and put up with my resentfulness so I didn't turn into some kind of emotionally and mentally stunted goblin.
I had a mixed experience. I was given a mix of physical toys and a PSP at an early age. Had it not been for those toys I don't think I would grow to love Lego and actually play with toy cars, but at the same time the inclination to PSP nearly had been a mistake. I had access to the internet at an early age, not even a decade old yet. I must've been lucky not to grow up into a shut-in (i was still shy & timid generally but i didn't shut myself fully). I still regret not being able to experience and play street games that a Filipino kid got used to (I'm middle-gen z so I'm right in the middle of the ever-changing culture scape) but found comfort in building blocks (amongst all toys, building blocks always stuck out with me)
Now here I am, older. Wanting to learn more new things, got a hobby, made new friends. I feel like my familiarity with technology, I can use to record or show my talents if I ever fully develop one. I still have much to catch up on, if anything Gen Z should make use of their tech-based environment to help spread and teach multiple things to their "younger sibling" Gen Alphas.
Being "middle" Gen Z gets you the best of the mid-2000s and early- 2010s world.
I mean one of my earliest memories was of a sega genesis and I think I turned out fairly okay in most regards
Also sitting down at the dinner table eating dinner without a TV, tablet, or smartphone is another key factor.
Yea I don’t think having a video game console or a phone equates to having issues with concentration but managing the amount of time a kid stays on it obviously will
Same but I also had an ps 2 and a old laptop where I was playing games with my dad and sometimes mom
I have two little cousins, one is seven and the other is eleven. They have a shared Ipad, and my auntie gives them very limited screen time (1-2 hours a day, I think). I'm glad, they still love playing with toys and they act like normal kids.
10:06 background song is "Frozen Moment" by Two Steps from Hell if anyone is interested.
I’m an older sibling, I’m 2005 and my sister is 2013. Just in that time between us, our relationships with the internet are VERY different. Of course I consumed my own flavour of harmful content but I had access to it later in life and already knew how to regulate my decision making. My sister, however, has had a screen in her face since EARLY on.
She can’t write, she can barely read, her vocab is below the average for when I was her age. She endlessly watches utter drivel and has zero imagination, beginning and ending with “what if I could fly?”.
And all of her school friends and age group are like this, dopamine deficient, unimaginative zombies.
WE NEED TO LET KIDS BE BORED!!
Agreed. We need to let kids be bored and play with toys or something
Yeah, I've met a iPad kid who yells at his mom and have several tantrums and the content he watches is concerning he's literally 9. He can barely read, write or do math. He also is very inappropriate and swears
As a 2013 kid as well, I hope she ends up getting better slowly because if she can't read or write at the age of 10 on 11.. that is certainly concerning
I'm born in 2012 and this is horrifying to hear. I love reading so, so much. Even while using my tab I do watch youtube, but i also read a lot.
i was born in 2010 and it's crazy how much a difference a few years can make
Man this video is an incredible wake up call. As an older brother, I wish I had done more to keep my baby sister away from technology. Her having her first phone BEFORE 5 is beyond insane, and I should have done something sooner. Nothing breaks my heart more than telling her "I love you," only to be met by silence because she was too focused on watching youtube rot. I'll be speaking with my parents about this and I hope it's not too late to help her. This video is amazing. Thank you so much for this.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5849631/ its some really scary stuff. I hope your sister is ok.
Tell your parents that the internet is not a playground
Im saying this as a only child who always wanted a younger siblings, Please save your sister before it’s too late, i have a younger cusin who is about six and victim to this as well, he lives in different country so i can’t help him, but you can still help her, please do it, good Luck
All my friends are like this, when I want to talk to them, they ignore me as they are watching shorts or playing Roblox. I know that I am disturbing them but they just disconnect every break
Me and a 5 y/o kid stay at a salon for around 8-10 hours when we don't have school to attend.
Our parents are barbers who simply can't pay any attention to us, and when they can, they are usually trying to rest as much as possible, thus leaving them too tired to pay attention to us or what we're doing.
This leaves us to laze around and use what little we have to stay entertained and not bored out of our minds.
In my case, I was at a salon since 4 years old, and any technology for two years, then I got an iPad at 6, I then installed RUclips.
Later, I was introduced to undertale, and baldi.
I then found minecraft, roblox, fnaf, vines, and funny videos on my own to pass the time and entertain myself.
By this point, I could differentiate what was bad or good, and stayed away from the non-appealing content, from my experience, there was no brainrot at all, and mostly a lot of unappealing videos.
From there, I grew as a person, and life was looking great, the stuff I watched weren't good for me, but they did not affect my cognitive abilities in any way.
In the other kid's case -- we'll call him "andy" -- he's introduced to RUclips for 4 months now.
He appears to have an incredibly low attention span, averaging 20-40 seconds on things he doesn't immediately like, and 1-4 minutres
on things he does.
Most content depicted in the video are things they enjoy, such as Skibidi toilet (fanmade videos), Garten of banban (fanmade videos), sonic (fanmade), siren head (fanmade), and MANY idiotic fanmade minecraft videos. Everything stated is fanmade, and the RUclipsrs are clearly the culprits behind the clickbait, suggestive thumbnails, appealing titles, and visciously overstimulating content, that many gen alpha kids are currently being subjected to.
Other than occasionally mimicking the actions of characters depicted -- which after watching this video, we know it's fine -- he's otherwise pretty normal.
Nonetheless, I turned off search & watch history, cleared all history, unsubscribed from every harmful youtuber, dislike the videos of all brainrot youtubers/content from their device, then replaced those subscriptions with music composers, morally good people, and some content I grew up with.
With all that work done, it barely affected one crucial aspect of youtube -- RUclips Shorts: The Baron of Brainrot and Wasting Time.
The best way I could hide that mind-numbing content was to dislike all of the garbage shorts, hide video types and hide the youtubers who made that content altogether.
So, there is definitely hope to fix the situation these kids are in, and it begins with getting rid of the content they watch, or RUclips itself, and replacing that with games or outdoor activities.
I am now 16 and luckily my parents have also been rather strict about it all, always motivated me to play with LEGOs and with my brother, and they limited screen time. Of course, when I was young, I always complained, but now, I can't put to words how important that must have been. During the lockdown, I fared not much better than the younger children, I was constantly doing other stuff than listening to the classes, luckily my grades are still mostly rather good.
But you are so right, we had a "story", if one can call it that, with our LEGOs spanning literal years, and we were often outside playing with the toy lightsabers, for example. I also loved the BRIO wood trains, I often filled my entire room and the corridor too with it, I put together the coolest trains, etc.
And the media we consumed was the classical children's series, they educated, they were funny and relatable as children. Series like "Pettersson und Findus", a Swedish-German production, Bob the Builder, Fireman Sam and the beloved Star Wars: The Clone wars (how often I watched the same episodes over and over...). It is truly sad to see that these series have become so much less popular, even though I do not like the new look of Bob the Builder personally, I am still absolutely certain it provides infinitely more to a child than TikTok or Instagram. And I have already, before this video, decided that my children would not get access to a mobile phone until at least 10, now I am considering raising the age.
Amazing video!
i’m currently substitute teaching for an elementary school and the children’s attention spans genuinely worry me. that along with the things they choose to talk about. getting through a lesson is nearly impossible due to them being constantly distracted.
😮😮😮
What things are they talking about? It's an elementary school so I can't think it's anything too terrible... but this generation...? Maybe? What is it that's going on?
I think it's just like an addict , like when someone is addicted about something they are always distracted cause they want short term happiness.
I just want to say, I’m a 13 yr old gen alpha - gen z student who is forced to stare at computers and be around other dumb children in my classes. I’m an intelligent student who strives for perfection which in itself is bad, but I don’t care. I’m tired of stupid kids and their dumb “brain rot” fodder that they self watch. The best device I personally own is a IPad. I’m not idiotic enough to watch brain rot and useless junk that will ruin my life. I’m lonely with no friends becuase my humor is out of touch I tell myself. My family seriously hates swearing or dirty jokes becuase we come from private schools were I was probably the most popular kid ever. The education system and my peers screwed me over completely. It’s so freaking disgusting. I think the world will be over soon though. So I’ll keep trying, and when I become one of the smartest, I will simply laugh.
TL:DR I hate gen alpha and life world is ending.

Haha yes, that's easy to be misthaken. That doesn't mean it AT ALL!
Example: The Amazing Digital Circus. I've been following it's development since Glitch Productions first announced it, certainly before the pilot came out. The one episode that has been released so far is, but the creator has stated MANY times it's just going to get worse as the series goes on. And seeing how Glitch was happy to pick up Murder Drones (no shade. Murder Drones was how I found Glitch in the first place) and the creator seems like the kind of person to enjoy creating eldritch horrors too I can only imagine what's in store. And yet the goddamn content farms chose it as the next bIg trend to focus on. made even worse with all the videos with sexual themes. Some kids are eventually going to get curious and look for the original source material and it just has me worried. BRIGHT COLORS AND CUTE CHARACTERS DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN IT'S FOR KIDS EITHER!! I've never looked but I'm not sure if Glitch at least put an age rating in the description which would be nice in the FEW cases where parents actually look at what their kids are watching
That is from SMG4, and on the Internet they state that their content is made for people of the age of 13 or older, which I think is acceptable. @@nikki4803
the hub is popular.
way to young people consume that stuff... everybody is too "young", as you are better off not starting@@tedbasher3000 .
The issue with Gen Alpha isn't their goofy songs or silly videos (albeit cringyworthy), it's how Ipads replace parents as the figure to go to. Since a developing kid LOVES the stimulation provided by their device, when it's taken away it makes them have tantrums. This leads to them having short attention spans and a crippling addiction that worsens their chances of making it in a social society that isn't anywhere as close to the stimulation of a brainrotting device.
Something else alarming however, is the amount of horrible idols these kids find on the internet. With the absense of parental figures in their life, they look up to streamers like Speed which teach them feel like it's okay to do really stupid things, while also exposing kids to innapropiate topics. No kid should be talking about a "gyatt". Many s*xual innuendos are present in streams that is a real big issue by itself
tl;dr
Don't let the internet raise your kids. It's not their fault that they've been raised by brainrot, and you can't blame people for making fun of them for that.
I agree. Kids should have monitored screen time maybe have them watching shows like Big city greens, amphibia, Molly McGee, bluey, haileys on it, kiff, on ghee happy, the story bots, trash truck and Ridley jones. Not the trash RUclips overstimulation content and while the story bots and ghee happy are RUclips shows they are high quality shows. Hell even something like TTG is mindless silliness but high quality. By that I mean the people making actually want to make something good for the audience and not just cashing in on overstimulation. Stay away from RUclips influencers and elsagate content. Preferribly stick to Disney plus and quality tv shows. Ghee happy and storybots are good shows too because they are high quality.
Litteraly though, people get pissed when they see gen alpha kids watching shows they enjoy, or playing with dolls that they like n crap on their interest as if we didnt watch cringry stuff as well? Let the kid pretend they're a cat for like 5 minutes, oml

@@noahbossier1131 Make sure to screen what your children see on Disney+ as a lot of that stuff is full of LBGT, racist, and outright bigoted things. Disney is pushing that heavily these days because of ESG and the message is what matters to them.

The fact that RUclips and Tiktok do not set a good standard for the Kids content goes to show how little they care about it.

As a member of Gen Z, it's admittedly funny to clown on Gen A and how doomed they seem nowadays with Cocomelon-type garbage, but in some ways we weren't that different as kids like you said. This whole Gen Alpha stuff kinda reminds me of a quote I once heard “Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.” by George Orwell
That quote alone makes Orwell a fucking genius.
Yes but its proven that the latest generation is 70 years behind in intelligence and 3 years behind in school.

Or worse, they start playing games like Changed, which seem innocent and are some what reminiscent of Undertale, but are in reality sexual fetish games.
It's kind of a shame that Siren Head got so big with gen alpha, because Siren Head is originally created by a small artist (Trevor Henderson / SlimySwampGhost) and barely got recognition for it- people thought it was an SCP even though they made it clear that it's not.
Anyway, a lot of Trevor's work is pretty awesome and scary; he definitely deserves more credit and appreciation towards his other art

As a gen alpha myself, I can say that I am ashamed of my generation and am pissed I was one year off from being in gen Z
Same
whats gonna be sad is that a few thousand years or so from now adults will be talking about the days they watched skibidi toilet and lankybox at 2 am under the blanket
Being Gen Z who grew up (mostly unsupervised) on the Internet, it's so weird seeing people of my own generation try to call kids "doomed" and "failed" over things like this. It's not the children's fault they have to grow up with things like this. The only failures here are us, we have failed to pay attention to what our children are watching, and Every "cringe comp" and "kids are ruining society" fails these kids even more. It's like we never learn
W man for this comment, i was born in 2011 so im am gen alpha, we get steamed just for year we are born older gen alpha is just goated I don’t give 2 sh*ts about what gen z says about me in fact i am a almost 13 and I have never owned an iPad YOUNGER gen younger alpha is the real talk, 2010 to 2012 grew up just like gen z my first console was a Wii I played with ds games and I never got internet till I was EIGHT YEARS OLD. This whole debate should definitely be noticed but it is kinda goofy I don’t think there is enough people that point out what I just said at least the guy who made this video noticed that👍🏾.
Also parents not educating their children about the dangers of the internet. First thing I was told about was to be weary of links since you don't know where they lead and they carry "bugs"
Then stop watching fucking skibidi toilet and singing it irl

It just feels like parents who talk about "video games cause violence" just because they mindlessly bought an M-rated game for their child without checking the rating and then being shocked that a mature game has mature content.
I believe the most important thing is using phones less yourself, especially around kids. Kids see you using a phone and are instantly obsessed even without ever seeing the screen.
i usually follow the policy of: if kid around, please turn off your phone and interact with them (that could literally mean staring out the window and egging the child to look out).

I literally grew up around Martial Art Fighting videos and that became my purpose.
I did have a tablet, and a Wii & Xbox and did know how to control myself back then. That whole humans in toilets stuff didn't even exist yet back then until the new generation discovered it
I used to love Lankybox's zero budget parodies, what went wrong? What happened? Why?
gotta love how parents now straight up give their children unrestricted internet access
i was given a phone at 5. I actually have no idea how i ended up not getting into those brainrot channels . luck ? whatever u call it ? i guess
@@Ophangea I think it’s because you weren’t searching for trends and stuff. When I was a kid there were 3-4 people I watched. I seriously wouldn’t give any other content that I wasn’t used to a chance. This was when I was 10 back in 2015. I also don’t think there was as much of this content or talk about this content on a regular basis. Plus when everyone tries to outdo each other the content is just stupid stuff for views. I guess if you get content stuck in peoples head they will crave more (At least the younger generation). Please correct me if I’m wrong.
@@RaBlazers i think you got it right. When i was younger i didn't give a shit about anything other than cookie swirl c
I’m 13 right now when I was younger all I cared about was playing games like Legos plushies online games like real steel wrb,angry birds,jetpack joyride,turbo dismount,old Roblox,nerf guns,
I feel so bad for TADC like it’s genuinely a good series but now I just- I feel so bad for the creator I bet they never intended for it to become the way it is now
It's unfortunate. Really, it truly sucks to see their own original series get milked, made-up drama and etc by the sick individuals on the internet. Those people just don't fucking know when to quit it don't they?
eh, it is what it is.
It really sucks how if you make something that isn’t totally sexual and inappropriate, And it becomes popular, It will immediately get picked up by content farms to ruin. I’m scared for any future kids movies that will get the TADC treatment.
I seriously wonder what causes that type of content to be made off of stuff like TADC. I know it's been happening for a while and to many other things being made that became popular, but I didn't start to notice it until Poppy Playtime. What the heck is happening?!
@@Itz_MothiiI just hope they don't touch godzilla, the amount of kaiju debate servers with "nswf" art is crazy like wtf, I join their discord server and boom weird shit
As a gen alpha, I personally feel bad for my peers, the amount of mental damage they’ve had makes me feel sad. I was lucky enough to live in an area where COVID lockdown wasn’t that big of a problem. I’m so glad that I have books so I won’t have to spend all my time on my iPad. I read Warriors, THE BEST BOOK SERIES EVER! Even though I have an iPad, it’s an old model that’s not capable to access the entire internet because my mom strictly turned on parental controls, I have to ask her to download apps, not just come up to her and ask her in person, but send a notification to her phone and if she won’t let me download it, then the iPad won’t download it.
The kid and mother around the sun got me tear up😭
Physical media is SUCH a good idea in general. Not only will you be able to control what your kids watch and they’d still have a good amount of wholesome content, it also ensures that you’ll be able to watch it whenever you want. Streaming services are all over the place these days and it can be very tricky to get everything you want to watch in one place, so having the ability to get physical DVDs for you and the kids will be amazing in the long run. I grew up with rental DVDs and it worked out very well for me.
or a hard drive, flash drive, or connect the device to a NAS full of curated media but lock the Internet down otherwise. as an example, one of my friends gave his nephew 2 TB of curated games he can play; playnite setup with classic emulated games
same.

As a Gen Z born in 2005, I can say that I'm glad I grew up with my Nintendo Wii, Wii U, DS/3DS, going to the park everytime after school, visiting a few fairgrounds throughout the year, playing with legos, my old computer to watch a little YT and some movies on DVD, and watching the classic cartoons on Disney Channel, Disney Jr, Disney XD, Nicktoons, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr, Cartoon Network, and Boomerang to.
Dont forget playing with legos.
i was born in 1998 and had the gameboy and playstation 2
the wii u and 3DS was overhated as hell lol, I miss the days of getting home from school and playing NSMBU or wii party u or something like that, now we just have skibidi toilet adventure
I got a Wii, a Wii U and a 3DS!
3DS was never hated. Also NSMBU was just NSMBW with a HD filter, and a lame squarrel power up.
Sad thing is that people don't wanna go outside because for some reason outside is not much fun anymore. It's hard to explain but when I was a teen I didn't went out because there was nothing to do that wasn't repetetive. I wish playgrounds would have had more variety and other outdoor activities wouldn't be so expensive. I mean staying at home and looking at a phone is free. Sadly
As a gen alpha, I've always watched things like cartoon network
The fact that 10 years from now many children will find this content very nostalgic is quite distressing and depressing.
the fact is though, they won't find it all nostalgic cuz it doesn't create the type of memories 2000s-2010s media did. this current type of content is solely made to make money and be hyperstimulating
@@corki2 yeah they will be like "why the fuck did we watch this shit"
Not me I hate that stupid shit
Meh same shit as MLG
@SaulCoolerfoe you’re like what 14 lol shutup bro
I call your attention, as a teenager, to Mr. Rogers Neighbourhood.
That program, is ONE of the very BEST programs for your children to watch. I've watched it since I was little, and even as I play with my model buses (I'm a teenager), Mr. Rogers was the best program ever. He was informative, educative, and it was worth watching. It's relaxing. It was amazing.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Rogers.
Ah, an old classic. Blue’s Clues is a pretty good one too, and it’s original run (not the reboot) is quite similar to Mr. Rogers. Occasionally I’ll watch Blue’s Clues episodes as an adult for the nostalgia, and it’s not half bad.
yea they ruined the new ones 😭@@kyleinthejar6829
who is mr rogers?
i watched that i watched blues clues@@kyleinthejar6829
I never watched mr Roger as a kid
(I heard it was good)
I'm Gen Alpha and this video is just relatable, not for me, but for some of my friends. I'm not listing names here but here's how the story goes, after watching skibidi toilet, he identifies as one. And at recess, he would usually dance around singing their theme song, he did it so much that the school has to ban the word skibidi so people don't get effected by this awful series of poorly animated garbage
16:36 That is a very bold statement to be making!!
