No this is different. Short form scrolling actually damages the dopamine system in our brains. It’s especially damaging to children’s brains. Regular tv doesn’t do this.
This is where parents need to be parents and set limits with their kids. Not just with how much time they're allowed to watch or when, but also know what their kids should watch. Let them watch educational shows, cartoons that showcase good morals and stories, not TikTok brain rot made buy teens and young adults preying on them for clout or mindless short animations made by near talentless fools looking to make a quick buck on this damn site.
Even back then, there were plenty of adults that enjoyed those shows and found them genuinely clever and entertaining; on par with shows specifically written for adult audiences.
Precisely. Those shows ran for hours. Modern day kids can barely sit through more than six minutes of content without their bodies or brains wandering. 🙄 It's embarrassing.
Mike Judge is on record as regretting Beavis and Butthead in some ways. It was meant to mock dumbassery and ended up with a lot of kids emulating the titular characters idiocy. It's why he went over the top with Idiocracy. And yet, here we are.
Hardly embarrassing the world is just changing. I know the planet will be fine. Cause guess what my dad's dad born in 30s told my dad the movie theater cartoons etc would ruin the world....
@@Automaton_unit simply saying social media is making us anti social is too broad of a term this same term was applied long ago with novel books and normal cable television to use turned out fine even though many people were freaking out that reading novels and watching television made us anti social and the same is happening here not all of social media makes us “ anti social ) only the part with “ vertical short form videos “ like RUclips shorts reels and TikTok effects is mentally in such a horrible way most of the internet doesn’t effect us that bad at all.
I teach middle school in a rural town, a lot of kids don't realize how powerful these companies are and how they're collecting and selling information. I try to teach them how they can responsibly use their technology but how it's designed to be so addictive, even adults have a hard time regulating their phone use. The kids have to keep their phones in their lockers and get detention if they're caught using phones during school hours. When you take their phones away they're surprisingly articulate and intelligent, and I get music requests from 90's bands and hip hop groups and kids know a lot. Grown ups need to stop acting like kids, otherwise we can't expect kids to grow up.
I live in a rural town aswell. In Pennsylvania to be exact. I am thirteen years old myself, but I am smarter than some kids my age, even maturity wise. It boils down to internet and social media use. It is beyond a drug, it's sin and temptation if used improperly. I do not agree with my school's new rule to keep phones in our lockers for various reasons. Although we do need a major reform of the education system. But the fact of the matter is, this is a *worldwide* epidemic that needs to end now.
I agree with both of you, parents need to give better guidance to their children and moderate their technology use, because giving a one year old a iPad is just crazy. As other kids my age say "touch grass" should actually be done, touch grass literally because it's far better than scrolling through Shorts for hours.
@@Ives_Atten I even struggle sometimes as a 13 year old with scrolling a little bit. But I can use proper grammar, so at least that is a sign of intelligence!
Not really. It's the outdated Constitution. We are the only country that hasn't changed it based on today's society. We could restrict what is posted, but this is the cost of Freedom!
Not exactly. The CORPORATIZATION of things like YT, FB, and even AOL and chat rooms from back in the day destroyed what could have remained an incredible thing. Believe me, I know. I remember when "IRC" and UNIX systems were friggin' brand new. Real people were making real connections. But as always, SOMEONE SMELLED CASH. 🙄
Some time ago I argued that words and expressions like "mid", "no cap fr", "bet" and "rizz" are degrading and leading to illiteracy, and that kids need to read books, otherwise they will become neanderthals when they grow up. The response, mainly by Americans, was, "this is jargon", "ok Boomer" and called me a "classist". The irony? I am Bulgarian, our language even doesn't use the same alphabet, but I have learnt English out of love and respect for the language. And there is a difference between a jargon/slang and an "ooga-booga"-type of degraded speech.
I read better than anybody could in my classes, but they bullied me into never wanting to socialize or speak up, great stuff they teach in public school man
@@ghcfuj77557 Does this mean you should stop educating yourself? The level of English I reached at school was B2, enough to get the First Certificate in English. From then on I continued teaching myself, and currently I am proficient, I even try to learn local dialects and jargons.
Don’t get me wrong, every modern generation has had some form of “brain rot”, but this generation’s is just the worst. The last of Gen Z and all of Gen Alpha (so far) is just… pure AIDs for the brain. I understand it all, as a mid-Gen Z from ‘06, and I can tell how nonsensical and mindless it is. The fact that they legitimately can’t even watch a highly engaging and action-packed show or movie without having subway surfers or Family Guy clips or GTA racing content on the side is terrifying. And don’t get me started on the iPad kids…
@@bruhmomentum3443 because it was always highly creative, whereas this new age brain rot is just stuff like mr Incredibles face getting darker with some stupid sound effects. There's no creativity in it, it's just degenerate content
@@bruhmomentum3443 maybe because we'd watch them, and then resume doing whatever it is we were doing at the time. That MLG, YTP etc was not constantly running in the background of our minds and we were able to focus on real life. I could be wrong about this, but it is likely why 2015 era mlg or older meme stuff did not damage as many brains as modern brainrot does.
Ironically enough, I'm a younger zoomer than my brother, but he's the one that has more brainrot, but at least he actually has a job and a social, whereas I have been procrastinating for several years.
This is a great opportunity for people who gets their priorities straight. While other kids are being entertained to their doom, other kids are growing up old-style, and will rule them all.
Have been trying to fight this for 20 years. Sadly, the wife and inlaws and other family members refused to fight that battle with me. Now they reap the fruit of their efforts and it is not pretty, but they'll never take responsibility or repent. They actually now blame me that my kids have zero respect for them and are hooked on screens as if I can put the genie back in the bottle. Don't have children with that nice girl who's parents gave her everything she wanted.
Isn't that nearly every little princess where the parents cope vicariously by wanting to provide "everything they didn't have?" Daddy's little girl. It's difficult watching my brother do this. She's his 'supply' to feel validated about himself as master provider.
As a Father, I see those videos, and I'm like wtf. My kids are almost 5 and 3. My kids don't have tablets unless you count a nintendo switch. It's insane and disgusting to see. Like these parents need to parent their damn children and go out to a f@#$ng park. And this is comming from a man who works as social media advertising consultant. Social media is evil. Dude, my almost 5 year old can play pikimin 3, and the problem slove the puzzles in freaking pikimin. Dude, he's out problem solved me a few times in Zelda totk.
@matthewvandyk7773 I don't think a Nintendo switch is too bad as long as it's not 24/7 and it's got games that challenge their brains. It sounds like you got it. You sound like an awesome dad. Anytime I have my neice over, I always have her put her iPad away and we color, play with play dough and im even teaching her to garden. She's only 4 but she loves her little garden she made from the weeds in the yard lol
@@Anxhelo-h6yif you got premium you can listen it on the background. While i work i always listen to documentarys or something Educational.

When I go to restaurants with friends and they bring their kids, the first thing they do is pull out a phone or an iPad and give it to them. They aren't learning how to be social or engage in any conversation, they just sit staring at a screen.
This is so true. As a kid being taken to a restaurant with adults, I listened and learned to interact with them, to talk, to hold a conversation and to have eye contact. I'm hearing that kids now can't interact, look at people even, can't spell, can't talk properly...
It’s not the parent’s fault. Modern work culture is the driving force behind why parents are the way they are. Modern society is actively trying to make the world dumber so the powerful can take over without question.
Scary future ahead. My 6 and 7 year old I do my best to teach them. When I’m working on my vehicles I explain the parts. When I built a fence and a shelf I explain what we’re doing and have them help me. Make sure they take it in and learn. I hope I set them up with the tools they need but screens are always there. Concerning
My parents where Gen Xers and they raised me and my sister without TV we were always told to go play outside and only allowed TV time if our parents watched TV, we weren't allowed around the adults when my parents had guests. I received my first phone at 17 and my last hiding at 17 I was born in 1999 and I'm thankful I missed youtube when growing up.
Seriously though it is fucking despicable these parents have just hooked their kids up to ipads and left them to their own shit hoping it'll turn out good.
It's nothing new though. The Simpsons had a running gag how they all worshiped TV and that did more to parent the kids than Homer and Marge did. It's the same thing, only the TV has turned in to a tablet, and cable is now the internet.
Just listened to a woman at work who has 5 kids and she told me she gets them an iPad when they turn two and a new one 5. I tried to say it's really bad but she said she doesn't have the time to rest from work and to be bothered by her kids. I said " why'd you have them". She just ignored me and walked away
We need to somehow bring back elements of the 2000's to this new generation, especially if/when many of us have children. I always miss the old days when the kids shows and video games were incredible, there were fun activities and life was just friendlier not disconnected. Now with Tiktok and social media, we have the most pathetic content imaginable like "looksmaxxing", "rizz", "skibidi toilet", and many more things I am so unfortunate to know of.
Kind of agree. I noticed compared to the 2000s, pop culture feels kind of dead, especially with children and teens. There's hardly anything hugely popular with young people lately that speaks for them.
In the 2000's you had Kids ride their bikes outside and goof around with friends, or interact with physical games like trading cards or collectible figures. After School you would turn to the TV for Entertainment - and could find actual quality shows. Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, and channels that broadcast dubbed anime like one piece/dragon ball/Naruto. All of which were in the end the same as plopping your kid on an iPad , except these Kids/Teen shows actually had a Story and in some form or another taught values. Honesty,Discipline,Friendship,Fun, overcoming hardship, working towards goals... @@Helldiver_RX
I have a 2 year old and I’m expecting another in January. My baby watches old school Sesame Street (less than an hour and half a day) and we sing the songs together. The rest of the day she’s has toys and plays outside with rocks, water and exploring together. My kids also won’t be getting a smart phone or social media until 16. I’m going to be homeschooling as well. I’m not letting my kids go down with the rest.
@@Verse2Beats There are lots of people in my area that homeschool and she does attend a Montessori program as soon as she is 2 years old. You act like there aren’t other children’s activities other than public schools. I also plan on maybe ballet or a sport(depending on which she would want) plenty of team building involved with many extracurricular activities.
@@Verse2Beats Yeah, it's tough. Sports is definitely a good option. Clubs, Boy/Girl Scouts, music, martial arts, etc. That being said, pretty much every home schooled person I've met, ESPECIALLY if they're an only child, has been weird AF and really socially awkward or broderline socially inept. I once had a roommate who was a home schooled only child and this weirdo would barely talk to me and would leave me notes to communicate. Even though I barely interacted with him, the vibe was super weird and I got the heck out of there.
@@Kryxx07 Well every kid I’m seeing that goes to public school has social anxiety and is addicted to their phones. But I am currently pregnant and plan on more. I also have a big family and she has lots of cousins and second cousins. Idk every homeschool kid I’ve known is well spoken and well rounded. It’s the current generation (especially the tablet kids) can’t even hold a conversation or make eye contact. It’s not like it used to be. I enjoyed school, but it’s changed. The test scores are quite a problem as well, kids can’t even read these days.
The gift of art to me as a child is what kept me from brain rot content. Sure I watch youtube, movies anime but my hobby or love for art means that I can only consume less & sane content. A hobby can be be anything that you love doing will automatically demand your patience , it will calm you down & take away a huge chunk of our spare time. I used to think art was my drug but now I feel blessed.
I'm 26 and I grew up on the internet, spending 16 hours a day for most of my life on here. At one point, my attention span was so shot, I couldn't even watch a TV show for longer than 30 seconds. That was without using TikTok but things like 4chan, RUclips, etc. I was diagnosed with ADHD and given amphetamines which started several years of addiction to several substances before I managed to stop and get to the root causes: sedentary lifestyle, no exercise, poor sleep and the content I consume. We currently live in a palliative society. Instead of treating the disease, the pain is temporarily alleviated with drugs. Many Gen Z and the current generation will instead be led into believing they are dysfunctional and that they need a drug which boosts their dopamine levels up 1200% to function at a task that requires a few minutes of effort. Algorithms that ruin your capacity to think and control the narratives you hear about and big pharmaceutical companies that profit off that and governments that are bribed to look the other way (lobbyist dollars or for the sake of productivity) will only compound this issue. This is a major failing of humanity driven by greed.

@@underlightmusic 1. Emergencies. 2. You could lose them. 3. In High School, you always carry your backpack around, so usually you never use a locker. When I walk home, I usually always listen to some music. 4. Or just don't bring it to school
@@Revolutionist646 Thanks. Emergency situation arising was the first thing that came to mind when I thought about it. Seems irresponsible to deprive students of that.
@@Revolutionist646 that is understandable from the perspective of the teachers. Just wondering if you had any kind of insight on a solution since totally banning phones has potentially negative effects, but allowing unrestricted access also can be seen as having negative effects.
I've been acting, directing, designing, and crafting content for decades. When YT was initially released in late 2005, I was there to post footage of some of my projects. Over time, I built up a community via quality content. Today though? I HAVE NO CHANCE. My work is literally not for the timid, the unengaged, the lazy, the ADHD, nor the snap-judgemental. It took tons of studies, work, preparation, insight, planning, experimentation, and analyses to achieve what I have over the decades. NO ONE IS GOING TO COMPREHEND THAT IN 30-60 SECONDS. Or... wait, it's even *less* these days, right?! 😳 People barely read six words, and tune out after 6-12 seconds of video. It's embarrassing. 🙄
I was raised in the 80s / 90s and my mum would rather I was home all weekend playing mega-drive than being outside in the "cruel" world. This has made me somewhat introverted today and in a way believe that the outside world is bad for me. It has taken years to realise she was wrong and to get this behaviour out of my head, but some of it is still there
That remind me of show called the middle in one episode the parents are discussing how their children were so demanding on complacency and how they were always doing what they want when their parents didn't give a F about if their children were bored or need something then they realize that hte problem with this is that you disconnect from your responsabilities as a parents I find all this as a new version of being an irresponsable parent
This is unironicaly why games like ER get review bombed, bc ppl dont have the patience or attention to git gud, they just want to win in their first 5 tries when in reality it takes a bit more strategy and thought
These are the kind of people that people today turn to online for advice, by the way. Science. Research. Studies. Experts. All out the window. Everyone is their own expert today. It is super scary. And it is just as scary that governments don't regulate this.
As a teen born in the 2010s, I keep witnessing my friends and classmates mindlessly scrolling IG (instagram) shorts, Im not saying im not one of them cuz I have some kind of addiction of scrolling youtube videos. I noticed that Im getting closer to be an "Introvert" every day. Reasons why people getting more addicted to shorts (from my experience) is that they dont clearly understand the cons of mindlessly scrolling, they need to experience the cons themselves and figure out ways to quit scrolling , but not completely banning their phone time, because it just makes the addiction more worse.
As another 2010s teen, I usually limit myself to Facebook Messenger and RUclips. Thats it. Well now that I'm older I can access Reddit and Discord (at my own risk) but I still use RUclips long form content because I cant stand watching 5 videos in 3 minutes. I think our year and 2011s are probably the last one that has some form of sense that using social media has its risks.
Literally one of countless videos showing a true societal problem, yet without explaining who is causing it. I mean not even an attempt. That in it of itself is very very suspicious.
tbh non of this is news... this video is just for clicks... they said the same thing about rock, tv, radio, hiphop like anything new they will say this about... i bet you they already saying it about AI... like the girl that was crying about getting a job... my mom told me so much ppl even back in the 60s didnt wanna work... noone wants to work but ppl laughing at the girl for not wanting to
I'm 42 when I was a kid we weren't even allowed to use the house phone. We walked to our friends house and knocked other door then went and played outside until it got dark out.
10:54 Jesus calls this behaviour out in the sermon on the mount when he urges not to give to be seen by the people like a 'hypocrite'. 'Hypocrite' was the word for actor. People only did good deeds to receive praise by others. Absolutely nothing is new in this behaviour. This has nothing to do with the arrival of Ipads or social media but the waning God's Word. (Matthew 6:1 to 6 for this specific)
I disagree with the angle of "its addictive". Its only addictive because parents give cellphones to their kids on every single nuisance and simply dont care.
Book makes people immerse themself in the stories or knowledge, but for social media, it is mainly an endless (&mindless) scroll, out of boredom to find short that can piques our interest in the middle of the vast sea of other 'boring' short. FYI, you can try to disable and clear the search history, for some reason that can disables the YTshort endless scroll.
@@thelibyanplzcomebackthey used to, it’s literally the plot of Don Quixote. Not comparable to today’s entertainment though in terms of possible damage.
it is addictive dude. the constant stimulation of short form content alone is bad enough. Sprinkle in some Instagram and TikTok challenges to make the kid further depressed because it gets problems self-esteem issues. It can be really bad, especially for kids without moderation.
I try to stay away from shorts/reels as much as possible because I notice the time just flies by. I mean, even when going to toilet I try to read a magazine or just think how I feel or so. We are supposed to feel bored once in a while, something todays kids wont experience....(im born 1994)
Having grown up in the 2000s, when technology was evolving so rapidly from one year to the next, it still feels weird to be reminded that many children these days have access to iPads and all the modern entertainment that they offer from a young age, as opposed to progressing through increasingly sophisticated technology the way that I did, starting off watching VHS tapes, listening to audiobooks on a Walkman, and playing games on interactive CDs as a toddler, then moving on to watching DVDS and playing platform-based computer games like Bugdom as a slightly older child, then getting an iPod and a PlayStation after starting primary school, then upgrading to an iPod Touch with no internet access as a pre-teen, before finally getting an iPad in my early teens and being allowed free access to things like RUclips and social media a year or so later.
Millennial parents don’t understand that their “iPad kids” will suffer when they face the real world as adults. Don’t blame your kids when they WILL become hikkikomori and will live with you forever. It’ll all be your fault that you didn’t raise your kids and didn’t prepare them for life in the real world.
As for those kids who haven't learned how to cook or change a tire, they might have a family member who is not the best choice to work with. "You will bleeping wreck it!" "It's common sense."
i lost my best friend because whenever we would hang out he would always be scrolling on tiktok. id legit be talking about something and he'd cut me off mid sentence and say "look at this tiktok"
I am a Gen Z sometimes I have low attention span around a couple of seconds to minutes but sometimes on some videos I have a LONG attention span which is werid 💀
Im in the late 2010s and yes sometimes I have low attention span but mainly because I'm just tired but when I'm recharged, boy I can watch a whole 30 min to 1 hour documentary about history
Older half of gen Z here (specifically 1998-2005) and man it really is crazy to see how bad things have gotten in just my brief lifespan. As a little kid I had mountains of books and did art all the time, nowadays I'm shocked to see people half my age or younger waltzing around with ipads or some other form of media. Seeing the rise of ipad kids should SCARE everyone, it's not funny or entertaining to see kids go ballistic after having their beloved tablet taken away, it should be a huge warning sign for what's to come.
Set timer. I like the YT shorts and have experienced the time warp speed when watching. The absorption of info is intense. This is a good video to remind us to set the timer when watching.
As a middle schooler (8th grade, born 2010) I'm doing just fine. I'm I honors LA and I'm doing high-school math. I have tons of friends who are the same. My school is honestly fine. Sure, there are some kids like this, but most of us are fine and co existing with the brainrot
Parents! Don’t give your kid an IPad! Instead turn on your PS5, turn on Dark Souls Remastered, give the controller to your kid and say “GOOD LUCK BUDDY”. It will keep them busy and they will playing something fun
Man at this point, I just hate the human society now because no wonder why don’t trust no one and also how bad the world is now because of this type of crap and also how cringe the world is now this could impact the future. All I can say is the future is going to be something else with this type of stuff.
1930 & 1940: "Comic books are going to rot kids brains" 1950,60 & 70: "Tv is going to rot kids brains" 1980 & 1990: "Video games are going to rot kids brains" 2000 & Today: "Internet is going to rot kids brains" The thing about brains is that they are extremely adaptive to new enviorments. Some kids are gonna go psicotic, others are going to turn out just fine and most of them somewere in between. As always it all comes down to parenting.
tell that to the teachers who are quitting when dealing with these hell spawns, when one took their devices - they dead ass were saying it's """"traumatic""""
Real television is dying. All those good informational channels like animal planet, discovery are killed. Cartoons are super woke. 1 minute content changes our wiring so quickly that one minute we are sad and other we are laughing. I mean this is slow death of curiosity. I'm never going to introduce internet to my kids till the age of 10 and I'd prefer home schooling. Cuz schools aren't any less doomed either. I know you agree.
I talked to my wife about this phenomenon happening with children not developing because they are using ipads. We agreed that we wont let our child use any devices for the first several years.
I’m tired of the “parents are tired after working a long day”..then you shouldn’t have had the kid if you didn’t wanna do any of the work. I’m tired of parents and teachers being given infinite slack for their many failings.
While that's true. The cost of living has accelerated past most people could have imagined. Everyone is working longer for less pay. Kids deserve more than being palmed off with RUclips as their parents.
@@MOSMASTERING And the same ppl who are gonna complain about working so hard and so long probably have time to watch/play fantasy football or watch tik tok for hours or on twitter/facebook...How many tv apps do most ppl have now? The time is there and that's still a poor excuse. At this point if you're having kids and you don't KNOW that you can comfortably homeschool them with one parent free at all times then you're a short sighted fool and I don't have any sympathy for parents at all anymore. They let the schools just become day care and shooting galleries with no standards of actually educating the kids and all parents have to do to prevent that is put some interest in academics and their kids futures but they simply DO NOT WANT TO. That's all it boils down to, but they don't wanna feel like the dead beat parents they are so the excuses are made.
The level of overstimulation of this video is so ironic 😂 the constant mention of subway surfers and then a clip of subway surfers, the brain rot clip changes literally every second.
As a father, I don’t care how tired I am after coming home from work, I make time for my child because every moment with them is a blessing. Plus when something is put on the TV to entertain my child, I sit there and monitor it and if I can’t sit there and monitor it I put on something I’ve already vetted. Some people choose to be hard workers yet lazy parents, parenting isn’t supposed to be easy, nothing in life that is meaningfully fulfilling is.
Overreacting, " oh no, a bunch of people are on their devices! Humanity is doomed! " grow up, our species survived situations 1000x times worse than this (we survived being on the blink of exiction, no way are computer devices ending us)
Remember the outrage over The Teletubbies "over-stimulating" kids back in 1997? This is nothing new. Millennials have grown up without going completely mental.
Mental illness is up across the board for millennials. I don't think we can nail it down to any one cause, but it's an undeniable phenomenon. Self harm is up, suicide is up, addiction is up, depression and anxiety are up.
I don't have an example with any children, but I definitely know someone who was extremely depressed because all they did was go on facebook and youtube and endless scrolling or watching shorts. Ever since they started working an actual job and didn't have time to really do these things, they are now one of the happiest people I know. On the surface its kind of odd, you would think working all day could make someone depressed, but it just goes to show that humans really need purpose or something meaningful to do like a hobby, job, or just active activity like hiking or shooting some hoops. Were not meant to sit in front of a screen and nothing else. I feel bad for the next generation. They are extremely behind. They can recover, I was certainly behind on my schooling for many many years. But its an uphill battle, and if they are not interested in changing or improving, then there is only so much anyone can do.

This is where parents need to be parents and set limits with their kids. Not just with how much time they're allowed to watch or when, but also know what their kids should watch. Let them watch educational shows, cartoons that showcase good morals and stories, not TikTok brain rot made buy teens and young adults preying on them for clout or mindless short animations made by near talentless fools looking to make a quick buck on this damn site.
They're dumbing soyciety down, it's deliberate don't ppl get it? Order out of the chaos
@@Dracoward Well said.

Just a decade ago, kids watched SpongeBob, Gravity falls, Phineas and Ferb. That is Christopher Nolan level cinematography compared to TikTok
Even back then, there were plenty of adults that enjoyed those shows and found them genuinely clever and entertaining; on par with shows specifically written for adult audiences.
As a Giffany fan, I approve.
Gravity falls and star I loved and I am old when they came out
I still like spongebob it is fun it's bright colors, original storyline and just that it felt like a real entertainment than tiktok
Bro that's not true
Sesame street and beavis and butthead look and feel like SHAKESPEARE compared to modern kid entertainment.
Precisely. Those shows ran for hours. Modern day kids can barely sit through more than six minutes of content without their bodies or brains wandering. 🙄 It's embarrassing.
Mike Judge is on record as regretting Beavis and Butthead in some ways. It was meant to mock dumbassery and ended up with a lot of kids emulating the titular characters idiocy. It's why he went over the top with Idiocracy. And yet, here we are.

I teach middle school in a rural town, a lot of kids don't realize how powerful these companies are and how they're collecting and selling information. I try to teach them how they can responsibly use their technology but how it's designed to be so addictive, even adults have a hard time regulating their phone use. The kids have to keep their phones in their lockers and get detention if they're caught using phones during school hours. When you take their phones away they're surprisingly articulate and intelligent, and I get music requests from 90's bands and hip hop groups and kids know a lot. Grown ups need to stop acting like kids, otherwise we can't expect kids to grow up.
Check out "The Underground History of American Education" by JT Gatto. Mind blowing stuff.
I live in a rural town aswell. In Pennsylvania to be exact. I am thirteen years old myself, but I am smarter than some kids my age, even maturity wise. It boils down to internet and social media use. It is beyond a drug, it's sin and temptation if used improperly. I do not agree with my school's new rule to keep phones in our lockers for various reasons. Although we do need a major reform of the education system. But the fact of the matter is, this is a *worldwide* epidemic that needs to end now.
School in modern day just doesn't work, not the in person way especially, it's built to make workers
I agree with both of you, parents need to give better guidance to their children and moderate their technology use, because giving a one year old a iPad is just crazy. As other kids my age say "touch grass" should actually be done, touch grass literally because it's far better than scrolling through Shorts for hours.

Some time ago I argued that words and expressions like "mid", "no cap fr", "bet" and "rizz" are degrading and leading to illiteracy, and that kids need to read books, otherwise they will become neanderthals when they grow up.
The response, mainly by Americans, was, "this is jargon", "ok Boomer" and called me a "classist".

Don’t get me wrong, every modern generation has had some form of “brain rot”, but this generation’s is just the worst. The last of Gen Z and all of Gen Alpha (so far) is just… pure AIDs for the brain. I understand it all, as a mid-Gen Z from ‘06, and I can tell how nonsensical and mindless it is. The fact that they legitimately can’t even watch a highly engaging and action-packed show or movie without having subway surfers or Family Guy clips or GTA racing content on the side is terrifying. And don’t get me started on the iPad kids…
I like the ones where they make the player the centre of gravity.
I remember the good ole' days of the MLG videos and whatnot.
I wonder why that wasn't as damaging as modern day brain rot?
@@bruhmomentum3443 because it was always highly creative, whereas this new age brain rot is just stuff like mr Incredibles face getting darker with some stupid sound effects. There's no creativity in it, it's just degenerate content
@@bruhmomentum3443 maybe because we'd watch them, and then resume doing whatever it is we were doing at the time. That MLG, YTP etc was not constantly running in the background of our minds and we were able to focus on real life. I could be wrong about this, but it is likely why 2015 era mlg or older meme stuff did not damage as many brains as modern brainrot does.
Ironically enough, I'm a younger zoomer than my brother, but he's the one that has more brainrot, but at least he actually has a job and a social, whereas I have been procrastinating for several years.
I haven't agreed to 100% of your video's, but this is something I can completely stand behind and I appreciate you covering this
This is a great opportunity for people who gets their priorities straight. While other kids are being entertained to their doom, other kids are growing up old-style, and will rule them all.
Have been trying to fight this for 20 years. Sadly, the wife and inlaws and other family members refused to fight that battle with me. Now they reap the fruit of their efforts and it is not pretty, but they'll never take responsibility or repent. They actually now blame me that my kids have zero respect for them and are hooked on screens as if I can put the genie back in the bottle. Don't have children with that nice girl who's parents gave her everything she wanted.
Isn't that nearly every little princess where the parents cope vicariously by wanting to provide "everything they didn't have?" Daddy's little girl. It's difficult watching my brother do this. She's his 'supply' to feel validated about himself as master provider.

When I go to restaurants with friends and they bring their kids, the first thing they do is pull out a phone or an iPad and give it to them. They aren't learning how to be social or engage in any conversation, they just sit staring at a screen.
White kids and white parents can afford an iPad. When I was a kid I didn't have any damn apple products.
This is so true. As a kid being taken to a restaurant with adults, I listened and learned to interact with them, to talk, to hold a conversation and to have eye contact. I'm hearing that kids now can't interact, look at people even, can't spell, can't talk properly...

It’s not the parent’s fault. Modern work culture is the driving force behind why parents are the way they are. Modern society is actively trying to make the world dumber so the powerful can take over without question.
Huh? Are there really kids that can’t read at 13?
Maybe because they just are a older generation person, so I think not all gen alpha and modern things they know (I am 10?!!!)
Scary future ahead. My 6 and 7 year old I do my best to teach them. When I’m working on my vehicles I explain the parts. When I built a fence and a shelf I explain what we’re doing and have them help me. Make sure they take it in and learn. I hope I set them up with the tools they need but screens are always there. Concerning
My parents where Gen Xers and they raised me and my sister without TV we were always told to go play outside and only allowed TV time if our parents watched TV, we weren't allowed around the adults when my parents had guests.

Seriously though it is fucking despicable these parents have just hooked their kids up to ipads and left them to their own shit hoping it'll turn out good.
It's nothing new though. The Simpsons had a running gag how they all worshiped TV and that did more to parent the kids than Homer and Marge did. It's the same thing, only the TV has turned in to a tablet, and cable is now the internet.
Just listened to a woman at work who has 5 kids and she told me she gets them an iPad when they turn two and a new one 5.

We need to somehow bring back elements of the 2000's to this new generation, especially if/when many of us have children.

Now with Tiktok and social media, we have the most pathetic content imaginable like "looksmaxxing", "rizz", "skibidi toilet", and many more things I am so unfortunate to know of.
More 70s than 2000
Kind of agree. I noticed compared to the 2000s, pop culture feels kind of dead, especially with children and teens. There's hardly anything hugely popular with young people lately that speaks for them.
I can say burnout 3 is plain better than anything kids do today
What was the 2000s like? I never experienced what you are talking about.
In the 2000's you had Kids ride their bikes outside and goof around with friends, or interact with physical games like trading cards or collectible figures.
After School you would turn to the TV for Entertainment - and could find actual quality shows.
Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, and channels that broadcast dubbed anime like one piece/dragon ball/Naruto.
All of which were in the end the same as plopping your kid on an iPad , except these Kids/Teen shows actually had a Story and in some form or another taught values.

The rest of the day she’s has toys and plays outside with rocks, water and exploring together. My kids also won’t be getting a smart phone or social media until 16.

That was without using TikTok but things like 4chan, RUclips, etc. I was diagnosed with ADHD and given amphetamines which started several years of addiction to several substances before I managed to stop and get to the root causes: sedentary lifestyle, no exercise, poor sleep and the content I consume.
We currently live in a palliative society. Instead of treating the disease, the pain is temporarily alleviated with drugs.

Reasons why people getting more addicted to shorts (from my experience) is that they dont clearly understand the cons of mindlessly scrolling, they need to experience the cons themselves and figure out ways to quit scrolling , but not completely banning their phone time, because it just makes the addiction more worse.
As another 2010s teen, I usually limit myself to Facebook Messenger and RUclips. Thats it.

Having grown up in the 2000s, when technology was evolving so rapidly from one year to the next, it still feels weird to be reminded that many children these days have access to iPads and all the modern entertainment that they offer from a young age, as opposed to progressing through increasingly sophisticated technology the way that I did, starting off watching VHS tapes, listening to audiobooks on a Walkman, and playing games on interactive CDs as a toddler, then moving on to watching DVDS and playing platform-based computer games like Bugdom as a slightly older child, then getting an iPod and a PlayStation after starting primary school, then upgrading to an iPod Touch with no internet access as a pre-teen, before finally getting an iPad in my early teens and being allowed free access to things like RUclips and social media a year or so later.
„GTA clips with random cuts of Joe Rogan podcast is actually a business model” that’s a statement
Millennial parents don’t understand that their “iPad kids” will suffer when they face the real world as adults.
Don’t blame your kids when they WILL become hikkikomori and will live with you forever.
It’ll all be your fault that you didn’t raise your kids and didn’t prepare them for life in the real world.
My wife stays at home, I have to work hard so they never have to watch an iPad or RUclips. Men, stand up for your children.
As for those kids who haven't learned how to cook or change a tire, they might have a family member who is not the best choice to work with. "You will bleeping wreck it!" "It's common sense."
You can see how it affects us too. Watch this video. The images constantly change to keep us hooked. We are no better
i lost my best friend because whenever we would hang out he would always be scrolling on tiktok. id legit be talking about something and he'd cut me off mid sentence and say "look at this tiktok"
He sounds like a winner. You made a wise choice. Stay away from failures.
This video opened my eyes. These 16 minutes and 38 seconds were ones of the most useful moments in my life.
I am a Gen Z sometimes I have low attention span around a couple of seconds to minutes but sometimes on some videos I have a LONG attention span which is werid 💀
It's about what interests you, it's common to space out when presented something boring
Im in the late 2010s and yes sometimes I have low attention span but mainly because I'm just tired but when I'm recharged, boy I can watch a whole 30 min to 1 hour documentary about history
im suprised people still Remember quandagle dingle
Quandale dingle was a legendary meme tho that was everywhere couldn’t escape it
I am eleven years old, I think this generation is DOOMED. Their parents haven't got hopes to them. The future society will be the nightmare...
i’m 21 and addicted to my phone. i can’t imagine how screwed gen alpha is gonna be
Now I'm glad I'm single with no kids😮 but it's really sad
So.. your gay?
@@rizzing_mogger 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm not gay my boyfriend is 🤣🤣🤣
@@rizzing_mogger Maybe just not a sheep? 🐑
@@rizzing_moggerso what if he is?
Went to DelTaco, they demolished the kids playland, the one I remember playing on as a child😢
Older half of gen Z here (specifically 1998-2005) and man it really is crazy to see how bad things have gotten in just my brief lifespan. As a little kid I had mountains of books and did art all the time, nowadays I'm shocked to see people half my age or younger waltzing around with ipads or some other form of media. Seeing the rise of ipad kids should SCARE everyone, it's not funny or entertaining to see kids go ballistic after having their beloved tablet taken away, it should be a huge warning sign for what's to come.
Set timer. I like the YT shorts and have experienced the time warp speed when watching. The absorption of info is intense. This is a good video to remind us to set the timer when watching.
As a middle schooler (8th grade, born 2010) I'm doing just fine. I'm I honors LA and I'm doing high-school math. I have tons of friends who are the same. My school is honestly fine. Sure, there are some kids like this, but most of us are fine and co existing with the brainrot
Mostly we just joke about it but it ends there. We dont integrate it into our language
You're in 8th grade, and you still can't use proper punctuation?
Mom was right it’s all because of the damn phone.
Parents! Don’t give your kid an IPad! Instead turn on your PS5, turn on Dark Souls Remastered, give the controller to your kid and say “GOOD LUCK BUDDY”. It will keep them busy and they will playing something fun
lol
As a gen z, I have a sister that always watches skibidi toilet
majority users of social media are beyond 18 said by gpt , go beat it in debate if you are gen z then come here 💀💀
Your sponsors ain’t paying enough 😂😂😂 that transition was smooth 😂😂😂 7:10
Man at this point, I just hate the human society now because no wonder why don’t trust no one and also how bad the world is now because of this type of crap and also how cringe the world is now this could impact the future. All I can say is the future is going to be something else with this type of stuff.
1930 & 1940: "Comic books are going to rot kids brains"
1950,60 & 70: "Tv is going to rot kids brains"
1980 & 1990: "Video games are going to rot kids brains"
2000 & Today: "Internet is going to rot kids brains"
The thing about brains is that they are extremely adaptive to new enviorments. Some kids are gonna go psicotic, others are going to turn out just fine and most of them somewere in between. As always it all comes down to parenting.
you're right but those things before internet at least made some sense. Those brainrots don't
Plot twist, those things did rot kids brains and that's why Gen X and Millenials are dysfunctional as hell.
@@cart3r_badd this
tell that to the teachers who are quitting when dealing with these hell spawns, when one took their devices - they dead ass were saying it's """"traumatic""""
Real television is dying. All those good informational channels like animal planet, discovery are killed. Cartoons are super woke. 1 minute content changes our wiring so quickly that one minute we are sad and other we are laughing. I mean this is slow death of curiosity. I'm never going to introduce internet to my kids till the age of 10 and I'd prefer home schooling. Cuz schools aren't any less doomed either. I know you agree.
I talked to my wife about this phenomenon happening with children not developing because they are using ipads. We agreed that we wont let our child use any devices for the first several years.
Shout out to the gen z kids like me who actually spent time outside when we were younger.
I’m tired of the “parents are tired after working a long day”..then you shouldn’t have had the kid if you didn’t wanna do any of the work. I’m tired of parents and teachers being given infinite slack for their many failings.
While that's true. The cost of living has accelerated past most people could have imagined. Everyone is working longer for less pay. Kids deserve more than being palmed off with RUclips as their parents.
@@MOSMASTERING And the same ppl who are gonna complain about working so hard and so long probably have time to watch/play fantasy football or watch tik tok for hours or on twitter/facebook...How many tv apps do most ppl have now? The time is there and that's still a poor excuse. At this point if you're having kids and you don't KNOW that you can comfortably homeschool them with one parent free at all times then you're a short sighted fool and I don't have any sympathy for parents at all anymore. They let the schools just become day care and shooting galleries with no standards of actually educating the kids and all parents have to do to prevent that is put some interest in academics and their kids futures but they simply DO NOT WANT TO. That's all it boils down to, but they don't wanna feel like the dead beat parents they are so the excuses are made.
The level of overstimulation of this video is so ironic 😂 the constant mention of subway surfers and then a clip of subway surfers, the brain rot clip changes literally every second.
It’s not helping that you also are doing the constant change of visual. It just show how we also struggle with how life “should be” .
At the very least it'll mean that this video can have much more mass appeal. Hopefully people learn something
As a father, I don’t care how tired I am after coming home from work, I make time for my child because every moment with them is a blessing. Plus when something is put on the TV to entertain my child, I sit there and monitor it and if I can’t sit there and monitor it I put on something I’ve already vetted. Some people choose to be hard workers yet lazy parents, parenting isn’t supposed to be easy, nothing in life that is meaningfully fulfilling is.
the few people using my space in the mid 2000s would have never guessed we would go this far
It's Bad when a gacha game like ZZZ has one of the Main Characters say Rizz...
It's bad when gacha game. Period.
just admit it - we are fucked...
is there any time in history when humans were not fucked?
Exactly we are all doomed at this point. What the type of Internet we have now and especially AI.
@@sassycatthill1495 The Yuga shift it's what's happening and this is all about to change, there is a great deal of hope
Overreacting, " oh no, a bunch of people are on their devices! Humanity is doomed! " grow up, our species survived situations 1000x times worse than this (we survived being on the blink of exiction, no way are computer devices ending us)
Remember the outrage over The Teletubbies "over-stimulating" kids back in 1997? This is nothing new. Millennials have grown up without going completely mental.
Teletubbies is the reason why Gen z is so fucked up imo.
I got a few judgmental looks for giving my toddler my phone in the airport from people who were on their phones Lolol.
Mental illness is up across the board for millennials. I don't think we can nail it down to any one cause, but it's an undeniable phenomenon. Self harm is up, suicide is up, addiction is up, depression and anxiety are up.
@@HipshairBecause adults can self regulate (in theory) and toddlers can't. Being in an airport should be stimulation enough for a toddler.
@@Hipshairyeah, they aren't toddlers. Be better
I don't have an example with any children, but I definitely know someone who was extremely depressed because all they did was go on facebook and youtube and endless scrolling or watching shorts. Ever since they started working an actual job and didn't have time to really do these things, they are now one of the happiest people I know.
On the surface its kind of odd, you would think working all day could make someone depressed, but it just goes to show that humans really need purpose or something meaningful to do like a hobby, job, or just active activity like hiking or shooting some hoops. Were not meant to sit in front of a screen and nothing else. I feel bad for the next generation. They are extremely behind. They can recover, I was certainly behind on my schooling for many many years. But its an uphill battle, and if they are not interested in changing or improving, then there is only so much anyone can do.
Incorrect: headphones can't dent your skull, it is a solid chunk of rigid and hard calcium, what can be seen after wearing headphones for an extended period is the displacement of a thin layer of fat which sits on top of your skull which springs back in a matter of days and will never permanently deform
most of everything else is right but I just really hate hearing that one
