I understand the underlying sentiment being provided given that theres no irony involved. But talking to your children even if they cant understand you is the number 1 way they learn, grow, and develop as human beings. Our generations have forgotten this apparently.
Imma be dead honest, none of these generations are "doomed" We perceive that all these kids are freaking out over taking their iPad and yes that is the case, but if you take a toy from a kid no matter what it is, they'll cry about it. The only reason we see this is because of the parents who are posting it online. But there are millions upon millions of kids who arent shoved in front of an ipad. When I go out to eat I rarely see kids on devices, they are always chatting with their parents, siblings, or friends, and having a good time away from screens, just like I did when I was a kid. Its what the internet wants us to perceive, but its not the full scale reality. Also about movies, If you're in the UK and like the cinema then get Odeon limitless. You get your money's worth after 2 films, and everything else is just a bonus.
A clay tablet from around 2800 B.C. reads: "Our Earth is degenerate in these later days; there are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end; bribery and corruption are common; children no longer obey their parents; every man wants to write a book and the end of the world is evidently approaching." Thoughts like this are not new. Every generation thinks the next is cooked.
brother giving your kids an addictive anything early on is going to ruin their development, fully grown adults get addicted to scrolling how bad do you think it will be if you instill these addictive behaviors in their most formative years? its a bad idea to generalize life in black and whites, yes every generation trash talks other generations, but some critiques are valid. Saying the boomers have more issues due to wide spread lead, asbestos, smoking etc, is not an invalid critique simply because youre applying its consequences to an entire generation. And saying the ipad neglect problem is going to be a widespread issue, is not an invalid critique either.
Lot of kid here are always outside too playing with their friends, playing on riverside swimming, eat stick, rock and mud, literally no difference from when i was a kid
The whole “look at how these kids react when you take away their screens” thing is dumb. Kids scream and cry and get mad when you take anything away from them. Tell a kid to stop playing soccer? Tantrum. Take away toys? Tantrum. Tell them they can’t eat the entire bag of sugar? Tantrum. It’s normal.
@@nanafundesunot necessarily given social pressures and trying to watch a child 24/7 is hard, and that’s not even mentioning how bad kids content is nowadays
Literally, exactly what I was saying! Like, kids have tantrums all the time, you see it everywhere. Kid has to put their favourite snack away in the grocery store because the parent won’t buy it for them? Bros gonna cry about it. It’s a natural thing for kids and babies like, seriously.
I'm sure they were worried about kids watching tv when it was new, it does seem like bad parenting to just drop your kid behind a screen, but the kid will be FINE.

Schools value conformity over creativity, and that applies in academics as well. Doesn't matter if you use a valid methodology in, say, math... If it's not what's explicitly written in the teacher's textbook, then it's wrong - or right, but still wrong, because it's not what was wanted. Kids are punished for not being narrow-minded.

People be blaming everything but the parents Parents be wondering why the kids be growing like a little shit when all they did was throwing ipads infront of them
I have had an ipad, i have games and youtube My parents set rules for me to follow so im not a brainless zombie only being on the couch wastinf time away
RIGHT? Like, I don't get it! Just don't give your kid a fucking ipad?! But when you have people like Pyro saying "what else are you gonna do, have a conversation with them?" its no wonder things turn out like this. Millenials simply cant take care of children since they are too busy whining about boomers and shitting on genz
@@RustyTExcel I'd say that to the perspective of the older generation, kids watching a YTP skip and stutter on the same 5 frames of audio for 2 minutes, would be considered brainrot.. Long form brainrot, but don't let it fool you, we were down bad too.
that thing pyro said about the ears when you fly on a plane as a kid is absolutely real, I used to get that all the time and I still fear the idea of flying because of it even though the last couple of times werent so bad
All I’m saying is that we have to be honest with ourselves and admit that if Skibidi Toilet came out when we were younger, we would have ate that shit up. SFM’s weren’t that much better.
TH-cam poops were my shit (pun intended I guess) back when I was a kid. When I was reallllly young I would've loved the older Skibidi Toilet videos, but just as much as now, if I saw the later episodes of the series as a kid, I'd be just as big a fan of it's story. Like the main antagonists may have toilets as bodies but that's not really their focus, it's just that they have it, don't question it. If they were little green men who went "Skibidi dop dop dop yes yes" they'd be just as annoying, and like that's fine in itself, there's plenty of annoying sounding little aliens in media I'm sure many people hate, these things are no different. And I guess there was literally poop humor in like episode 4 but now it's very serious other than the toilet bit. It's far better for a kid to consume than the TH-cam Poops I watched as a kid is all I'm saying, so many traumatizing moments of SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs going at it man........... The only problem with the episodes is it's a bass boosted explosion feast for a lot of the runtime. But eh, that's war for you. Really uh, loud.
Replying to myself, the real trend of the series is that people react to it believing it'll be really stupid and they'll not understand anything or hate it. Some people decide to watch the latest episodes first and use that as proof that "hey this really is stupid" but like no duh they didn't understand what was happening, you don't start and stop watching a series at it's middle point. They gotta watch it through like it's frickin cia training (all the early episodes) and they see where it starts picking up into a narrative and guess what? There are so many people who leave from an hour or two binging the series and say it's not what they expected, that they enjoyed it. Cause instead of viewing a minute of it, they actually watch for longer, which is against the whole "shortening the attention span" thing is it not? It really proves itself innocent when people actually take time. It's not like it's some mindfucking disease that instantly shortens your attention in nearly two hours. It's just an SFM series
The kid tantrum thing has always been a thing. You tell kids to stop playing or doing what they like, chances are they will not be happy. The biggest difference is whether they have the balls to actually complain.
What happened to hobbies? Im gen z and grew up with an ipad, but my parents restricted it to 1 hour a day. I learnt to draw or play pretend, or write stories. Boredom is so healthy!! There are other means of entertainment than a screen! Im not completely anti screen, and like everyone else im also addicted to my phone. But restricting the content kids consume is so so important, especially when you can teach them to love reading, or just be able to sit with their own thoughts!
The major problem is that a lot of parents don't enjoy "babysitting", and that is one of the reasons to just drop a screen in front of their kids, doesn't matter wtf their kids are watching... If they are quiet that's good enough. My cousin has kids and she hates to treat them properly, she "doesn't know" how to raise a child, so pretty much her resolve was to make sure she gave the kids a cellphone for their entertainment. The problem is that she has no idea what their kids are watching, and sometimes i'm hella sure there is some fdup shit n there.
English public schooling is so incredibly ass it's actually astounding. my mum worked at my primary school in the special ed unit, and the thing that made almost her entire unit quit was the bullying of a rough family. the kid wasn't supposed to be in the special unit, in fact he had no issues at all and they wanted to help him excel in regular classes. unfortunately, the parents wanted benefits and went absolutely ballistic on my entire school. the bullying from the parents got so horrendous it made 3 people quit, one was the most incredible lady I've met who's dream was to look after children, she used to feed, clothe and look after children who didn't have a family to do it for them. my mum quit soon after she left, she was the units heart and they broke it. I will never forget how hopeless the school was for those terrible people, and that poor kid.
as if literally all of us didnt throw absolute tantrums when we were kids and had our games taken away like it's not the go to punishment for kids. Here we are enlightened asf despite that because its actually the internet itself that gives us access to all the worlds wisdom and knowledge in a way no books ever could have, and DEFINITELY not television. if you want to talk about a generation ruined by technology, talk about boomers literally rotting on their sofas with their brain completely shut off watching actual propaganda on TV every single day with a beer in their hand, y i k e s
Oh wow, kids are crying because their toys were taken away from them, who would've thought? Seriously though, do the people who made this video not remember being a kid? I would cry if my bionicles or ps2 were taken from me but now it's bad because it's an ipad? They're no more doomed than the rest of us. Just a different flavor.
about the ADHD talk around the 30 minute mark, i used to (and still do) take concerta to focus on my uni enterance exam. its a hell of a fucking drug that gets you excited and if you take it in the wrong time you will NOT be able to sleep at all. also i was prescribed with the largest 54mg variant so that amplified everything more. i wish i didn't had the need to use it because i somewhat forgot what it felt like being a normal person in an average day because i would be excited for 4-5 hours under the influence and god knows the side effects
I have to say that Pyro's "contrarian" statments are indeed valid, Visual Venture is just over sensationalizing, I believe he may be a sort of content farm. He made a video going over various controversies surrounding the Fnaf franchise and at some parts he mentioned only half of the controversy, or just half-assed his research. So yeah, I think he's just kinda dumping these out and not sharing adding anything of unique value. Does that make sense? Idk
Pretty much does make sense. Most kids these days are still going outside and playing imaginary games! Visual Venture also conveniently left out the fact you can still use electronic devices in aeroplane mode when in flight 😅
Pyro saying theres more cases of adhd and autism is mostly wrong, it is diagnosed more but autism specifically is just not dependant on anything, you have it when youre born, its not developed, adhd CAN be developed but yeah that take isnt very accurate realistically
problem is people are pointing at skibidi toliet as a scapegoat for adhd brainrot content when, compared to its contempraries, it's actually the most consistent of the gen alpha popular media. Its like saying our generation is doomed for enjoying ytp or gmod animations. No the real problem is the shorts that actively prey on attention spans like the subway surfer or moodboard nonsense you see everywhere.
What I do with my little sister (11) is i treat the internet very openly. In the sense that i uncover manipulative behaviour like using buzzwords and asking for likes or explain to her how that comment she thought was funny was actually the biggest cope and op was an npc. Shes pretty smart tho so she gets it. I myself had my own pc with internet access by the time i was 6 so i know exactly what kind of place the internet is.
11:05 literally. Yes. Or give them coloring books, regular books, small portable toys. Like every generation did before the internet. From birth until 3 years old a child shouldnt have more than 3 hours daily of screen time. For some kids it can be less than that. Since even most Gen Z kids like myself (2002) were not toddlers with ipads. I didnt even get my first touchscreen until I was in late elementary. We are still figuring out how tech like this shapes children’s brains. Often it leads to lower attention soans, more behavior issues, social isolation and social unawareness. Dont cave in and just chuck your kid an ipad because everyone else has them. It will harm them in the long run
On the specific point about the grandparents and their iPad watching grandchild, I think this one is HUGELY overblown. Every restaurant I ever went to that catered to children had empty colouring pages and crayons for them. Why? Because everyone knows that kids can’t sit still or have grown up conversations, they need something to keep their minds occupied so they don’t get annoyed that they’re waiting for so long without food. Is this still the case? I’m not sure, mainly because I think the iPad has supplanted the need for it. The restaurant doesn’t need to provide the entertainment for the kids when the parents - or grandparents- bring it with them. I understand that on an emotional level, people are bothered by grandparents being ignored in favour of a screen but the reality is that 10-20 years ago, those kids would have been colouring instead. This one actually isn’t that big a deal and is an example of technology adapting to a problem that existed rather than creating new ones.
The problem is that the iPad does nothing but flash pretty colors at the kid. Coloring books and actual games stimulate the child’s imagination and promote critical thinking.
@@froginabucket7294 Ding ding ding Mindlessly watching flashy content with no substance has been proven to lower peoples attention span and make them dumber(no surprise here). Kids-- more than anyone else-- NEED stimulation, they NEED to apply themselves so they could learn. Even the most braindead videogame or TV show is 10x more beneficial to a childs brain than Tik Tok. I personally grew up on Spongebob, the original Teen Titans, Doreamon, Little Einsteins, etc. Despite shows like SpongeBob sort of falling under as an un-educational/braindead TV show, it still had lessons and was so captivating that it actually improved my ability to speak English early on. Personally if I'm having kids, when we go out to eat I'm bringing coloring pages for them. When we're at home, I'm setting up a console for them so they can play the Lego games and the sort. The modern solution to a kid needing something to do shouldn't be a tablet, it should at least be a videogame that requires thinking and problem solving.
I think the issue is more of the content these impressionable kids are consuming while on the IPad. Like how all these kids want to be like the really idiotic "influencers" because thats what they see all day on their ipads. I like to think that if they weren't stuck on them so young, they might grow up a bit before being exposed to people like Jack doherty. Then they could realize that people like him and other "influencers" are idiots like we do. Instead they're sat on ipads all day watching these morons until its the only thing they know and think its ok or cool
maybe if someone actually got some statistical evidence I would be worried. However, it just seems to be people being like "we're doomed" and then presenting a screenshot of a tweet with a vignette and copyright free dramatic music
Im so happy i grew up on actually good kids shows like courage the cowardly dog, cat dog , Dexters laboratory, total drama island. Kids nowadays wouldn't even have the attention span to watch a single episode of anny if those shows
15:05 ariplane mode was made so that ifr tech on the vessel (i believe its the altimeter?) doesnt fuck up and display the wrong distance to the ground, which is VERY dangerous.
This reminded me when I made a 'A is for apple' video that was MLG montage parody disguised as a kid friendly video. I had parents commented not to watch it and that their 6 year old came across it lmao
In a history class one day, we were making a hypothetical government, and we made a rule that it was outlawed to say "skibidi rizz." Well, in a later history class, we were learning about WWII and my teacher said that the reason H*tler was so successful was because of his charisma. She then brought up the previously mentioned joke and said that H*tler has Skibidi rizz. It was in EIGTH GRADE, and on top of that, it was accelerated learning.
TLDR: I had a similar childhood before the lockdowns, it made me cherish social interaction but i had intense social sensitivity problems. I was neglected by my parents in a way identical to the lifestyle we all had to live during the Covid lockdowns. I was never allowed to go outside literally anywhere , and for three years, all I socialized was on games and the Internet. They didn’t make me go to school. I’m in an adult now, but I can vouch for the ways it affected me as I grew up. Let me first say that these children will probably be extremely grateful to have real life friends at all , but in my case that led to extreme sensitivity, and not knowing how to set my own boundaries. These children will probably not know how to end romantic relationships , continue friendships after disagreements, and set boundaries for themselves most importantly. Also considering how it affected me, it seems to amplify any trauma or mental illnesses that are already present. In my case i developed mild PTSD and i have anger issues and emotional sensitivity. but in return, I developed an intense carefulness for the way that I do socialize with people, and I cherish social interaction a lot. But that was after I dealt with being incredibly estranged and incredibly far behind socially, I have no idea if it could’ve ended up a lot worse for me. This is just the experience of someone who went through a similar childhood that These kids are having to deal with now.
When it comes to assessing how children will grow up, people have been saying since TVs were first commercially available in the 50s that they would lead to a generation of empty headed zombies who can’t think. For even longer than that, children have been prone to tantrums when their favourite toys are taken away from them. So there are definitely some things attributed to Gen Alpha in this video which are either universal or have been hugely overblown in their scale and effect. However, there is absolutely no doubt that the way Gen Alpha is growing up is significantly different to any humans before them because they never knew a day without the constant presence of the internet, they can’t even conceptualise it. There’s just no doubt that they, generally, have lower attention spans, a greater need for gratification and a higher vulnerability to bright colours and loud noises which will inevitably shape their media tastes for decades to come. It’s not a coincidence that the number of mental illnesses reported in people is skyrocketing with every year. And whether you believe every self-reported case or think it’s all made up, the fact remains that more people think they have ADHD, autism, depression and so forth than ever before, that’s something new which is here to stay. What’s to be done about it? I have no idea because it is so effortlessly easy to put kids in front of the iPad but we are raising a generation of people who become more and more addicted to screens and the validation that accompanies it.
ive talked to psychologists and they usually say that the belief that more people are neurodivergent now than before is actually wrong and that it’s just something we’re finding out now that actually a pretty large number of people have it
@@yuzustridh3794 I don’t buy that at all, mainly because we didn’t need a word to group various mental illnesses together before this point. If we did, it would have been apparent and obvious thousands of years ago. Instead, what we have is an incentive for someone to want to be neurodivergent for social media brownie points, an incentive for parents to brag about their neurodivergent child, an incentive for the medical industry to prescribe them medication they don’t need and a fear of not overanalysing certain behaviours for fear of being one of the medical experts who failed to diagnose correctly. There’s just too many reasons for someone to be incorrectly diagnosed because of factors which have arose in the last 5-20 years which didn’t exist in the rest of human existence.
@@yuzustridh3794 Yeah, I don’t buy that at all.

People talk about how kids should go outside but have you seen "outside" in the USA? Its lifeless, dangerous, 90% cars and there's no people around. Unless you somehow were lucky enough to live in one of only a few small areas in the USA where this isn't the case, you probably didn't go outside then and you certainly don't go outside now.
I’m 13 and I hate being considered gen alpha, I play outside constantly I watch TH-cam a lot but not this much, I didn’t get an iPad until I was 6 but! I never used it, the only tome I used it was when I watched vids with my dad, holy shit my generation is so fucked.
I am SO GLAD I don’t let my 2 year old use a tablet like that and become fully addicted. She watches TV but she’s gonna wait a good while before having unlimited internet access
I’m 23, born in 01 but I’ve had so much experience with 90s tech(mostly video games) because we were poor. The first new console I remember getting was a ps2 before that I had a ps1 and n64 and I played the shit out of both, we also got a GameCube right after the ps2 because we got a lot on tax return that year, it’s crazy how I’m a 2000s baby but because I was poor most of my nostalgia resides in something 6 years older
Kids just need to be talked to sometimes. Let them watch actual movies and stuff too. Small children need to hear actual dialogue instead of watching gibberish all day
I must be the most normal Pyrocynical viewer, i never spend hours upon hours scrolling Tiktoks or YT Shorts, I never really even use them either, and i have bloody ADHD XD
Yeah except playing with dolls is stimulating to their brains because they actually used their imagination. Please actually do research because its NOT comparable to shit tok and dopamine receptors getting fried because of it.
30:30 i was diagnoses ADHD during childhood and force fed Ritalin and/or other meds of the like, because i couldn't focus on anything. But i was living through near death violence on the daily with my father back then. I know, ''boohoo, i have trauma'' Nowadays, most people i hang with tends to tell me i do have clear signs but i feel like i'd need a new diagnosis because of how overly diagnosed it was. I am 29 now, was around 6-8 back then, so i don't really know if it matters anymore. But yea, i feel like, while no one should be ashamed for what disabilities, mental illness or sexuality they got, too many people just build their whole personality around it instead of just being a thing that is part of them. Number of times i met people and the first thing you hear of them is ''i have ADHD and am (insert sexuality)'' almost before even saying ''Hi'' is staggering. Like, be proud of who you are, but this doesn't need to be the only thing you are about.
Likewise, the problem is precisely that the School is very very outdated, and refuses to use or adapt any type of technology or new way of teaching, which is why each generation does worse in their studies, not because they are stupid but because It's not that society where your parents threw a shoe at you if you didn't pay attention anymore. Sitting and listening to a person talk for hours and hours, hours is just boring and not at all educational, they are throwing information at you without you reasoning it so is more so a waste of time.
Fr the video had a really weird rhythm break at the end, randomly giving a positive conclusion after all the rant and negativity about this new generation
Went to see my family recently and on the way back (on a bus) there was a toddler in a pushchair WITH A PHONE STAND ATTATCHED having cocomelon (volume was up so I know for sure it was that), I thought it was insane. The child was having more fun looking around the bus though than staring at the screen.
I blame a majority of it on the Parents cause they don’t really pay attention to what their children are consuming and just put them in front of a screen what do you expect, just be a better parent
Ah yes blame the Ipad the mature developed adult made a concious decision to give their child, if anything its a resurgance of Lazy or neglectful parents and i love how we as a society still continue to ignore parents being the problem for causing problematic issues and mental illnesses for future generations. Its so easy for them to diflect responsibility because by the time the problem or issue is grown they can just point fingers and blame their child.
Man. I'm really glad I kept my kids away from ipads for as long as I could. The hardest part is that all their friends have tech, so them I'm an evil mom for not allowing them to have tech. It's such a hard juggle and it drives me insane. You're not even allowed to be a decent parent that wants your kids to be without tech for as long as you can help it. You get scoffed at by other parents, even. They still don't have ipads and my 11 and 13 year old have only just gotten phones (because 13 year old kept running away and it wasn't fair to the 11 year old or whatever), which I don't even want for them, but it feels so forced nowadays from all directions. Thankfully I don't put up with tantrums. Shit gets taken away and time spent in room if they do.
I walk home from work and I see too many kids with dummies in strapped in their strollers with either the parents phone or an iPad stuck in their hands. It’s so sad bro
You already know youre going to be an annoying ass boomer when you repeat the "children of this generation are doomed" line. It happens every generation despite proof that each generation brings new forms of creativity and growth for society as a whole.
People of all ages now a days are so blasted with dopamine from being online that they don’t know how to handle being alone with themselves, to an extent it’s even painful. The only thing you can do is forcefully ween yourself off of social media and change bad habits and eventually it’ll get easier to not being connected all the time.
It pisses me off how channels commenting on this issue make such a point of explaining specifically skibidi toilet as dangerous. It has been shown that widely popular franchises like Cocomelon decrease attention span by having so many scene changes, and are way more directly available to kids since they have a Netflix show and merchandise and books and toys etc etc. You can find merch for skibidi toilet but you will almost always be looking for it because the source material has no studio backing. Skibidi toilet will never be intentionally shown to a kid after being marketed as “kids media” to a parent. It might be in the algorithm but it doesn’t bait with bright colors or popular characters marketed at kids. It’s a fad akin to Nyan Cat or Annoying Orange… mindless and hugely popular, but it’s never getting printed on diapers. Elsagate has been a more directly destructive and inescapable kids content farm ON TH-cam KIDS. Lots of the jokes about skibidi toilet have been that the little kids watching it have no idea what the models are from/know the G-man as ‘the skibidi toilet guy.’ Targeted TH-cam kids videos with inappropriate content hidden inside intentionally feature kids characters to draw kids in with familiarity and trick an onlooking parent to think the kid is engaging with something safe because it’s full of the same characters that come from monitored animation studios. And elsagate content has never gotten the same consistent attention Skibidi Toilet has from gen z and millennials except from individuals that have researched how depraved it is. I feel like skibidi is easier to talk about because there’s an ironic side to it that us oldheads would be interested in even if it wasn’t “what the kids like now” and as a childless ironypilled doomer I think it’s really ignorant that so many childless ironypilled doomers make content about how the thing they are engaging with more and more is destroying the coming generation. Videos like this almost never consider a parent perspective- just in general, but specifically with the dilemma parents experience of how the media they allow will impact their children. Not to say non-parents can’t comment on these issues, obviously, but a non-parent needs to recognize that parents have had to directly combat predatory media to ensure their family’s mental stability and safety for decades. It is more serious than yapping about the “deeper” implications of a meme for TH-cam money and then being able to drop the subject to move onto another one. It’s an ongoing fight for parents where the literal human they are responsible for is at stake and i imagine seeing so many videos that just explain what Skibidi toilet is wastes their time more than informs them of what is dangerous. I like to see pyro criticizing these kinds of videos for just saying “too much technology le bad” and “covid was harmful” and trying to act like they’ve analyzed the entire problem just by pointing out the most obvious aspect of it.

I just started working as a hs teacher this year and the bit about sts being several grades below in intelligence/knowledge is sadly true. We have 12th graders who can't spell their names.

These kids are also PROUD of not having read a single page of a book in their lifetimes. They are unironically proud of being stupid, they actually say it themselves. It's so INSANE I feel like I shifted into a parallel universe or something

We perceive that all these kids are freaking out over taking their iPad and yes that is the case, but if you take a toy from a kid no matter what it is, they'll cry about it.
The only reason we see this is because of the parents who are posting it online. But there are millions upon millions of kids who arent shoved in front of an ipad.
When I go out to eat I rarely see kids on devices, they are always chatting with their parents, siblings, or friends, and having a good time away from screens, just like I did when I was a kid.
Its what the internet wants us to perceive, but its not the full scale reality.
Also about movies, If you're in the UK and like the cinema then get Odeon limitless. You get your money's worth after 2 films, and everything else is just a bonus.
that's how it is with most things, young kids and adults still take walks, exercise and hike, learn to cook, manage their life etc.
People definitely overstate how much of a problem this is
A clay tablet from around 2800 B.C. reads:
"Our Earth is degenerate in these later days; there are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end; bribery and corruption are common; children no longer obey their parents; every man wants to write a book and the end of the world is evidently approaching."
Thoughts like this are not new. Every generation thinks the next is cooked.
brother giving your kids an addictive anything early on is going to ruin their development, fully grown adults get addicted to scrolling how bad do you think it will be if you instill these addictive behaviors in their most formative years?
its a bad idea to generalize life in black and whites, yes every generation trash talks other generations, but some critiques are valid.
Saying the boomers have more issues due to wide spread lead, asbestos, smoking etc, is not an invalid critique simply because youre applying its consequences to an entire generation.
And saying the ipad neglect problem is going to be a widespread issue, is not an invalid critique either.
Lot of kid here are always outside too playing with their friends, playing on riverside swimming, eat stick, rock and mud, literally no difference from when i was a kid
The whole “look at how these kids react when you take away their screens” thing is dumb. Kids scream and cry and get mad when you take anything away from them.
Tell a kid to stop playing soccer? Tantrum. Take away toys? Tantrum. Tell them they can’t eat the entire bag of sugar? Tantrum. It’s normal.
yeah the whole internet ruining gen alpha thing i think just comes down to poor parenting
Put a child down to make them food? Tantrum.
@@nanafundesunot necessarily given social pressures and trying to watch a child 24/7 is hard, and that’s not even mentioning how bad kids content is nowadays
Literally, exactly what I was saying! Like, kids have tantrums all the time, you see it everywhere. Kid has to put their favourite snack away in the grocery store because the parent won’t buy it for them? Bros gonna cry about it. It’s a natural thing for kids and babies like, seriously.
Except soccer and toys won't cause brainrot and a severely reduced attention span.

that thing pyro said about the ears when you fly on a plane as a kid is absolutely real, I used to get that all the time and I still fear the idea of flying because of it even though the last couple of times werent so bad
about the drawing bit, you can alaways start whenever you like Pyro. It's always a matter of patience and interest. Even doodles is a good start
All I’m saying is that we have to be honest with ourselves and admit that if Skibidi Toilet came out when we were younger, we would have ate that shit up. SFM’s weren’t that much better.
TH-cam poops were just as bad
Facts - i used to watch KSI when i was young and he was pretty similar to Speed back in the day - i get watching content creators who scream and shout
TH-cam poops were my shit (pun intended I guess) back when I was a kid. When I was reallllly young I would've loved the older Skibidi Toilet videos, but just as much as now, if I saw the later episodes of the series as a kid, I'd be just as big a fan of it's story. Like the main antagonists may have toilets as bodies but that's not really their focus, it's just that they have it, don't question it. If they were little green men who went "Skibidi dop dop dop yes yes" they'd be just as annoying, and like that's fine in itself, there's plenty of annoying sounding little aliens in media I'm sure many people hate, these things are no different. And I guess there was literally poop humor in like episode 4 but now it's very serious other than the toilet bit. It's far better for a kid to consume than the TH-cam Poops I watched as a kid is all I'm saying, so many traumatizing moments of SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs going at it man........... The only problem with the episodes is it's a bass boosted explosion feast for a lot of the runtime. But eh, that's war for you. Really uh, loud.
Replying to myself, the real trend of the series is that people react to it believing it'll be really stupid and they'll not understand anything or hate it. Some people decide to watch the latest episodes first and use that as proof that "hey this really is stupid" but like no duh they didn't understand what was happening, you don't start and stop watching a series at it's middle point. They gotta watch it through like it's frickin cia training (all the early episodes) and they see where it starts picking up into a narrative and guess what? There are so many people who leave from an hour or two binging the series and say it's not what they expected, that they enjoyed it. Cause instead of viewing a minute of it, they actually watch for longer, which is against the whole "shortening the attention span" thing is it not? It really proves itself innocent when people actually take time. It's not like it's some mindfucking disease that instantly shortens your attention in nearly two hours. It's just an SFM series
The kid tantrum thing has always been a thing.
You tell kids to stop playing or doing what they like, chances are they will not be happy. The biggest difference is whether they have the balls to actually complain.

What happened to hobbies? Im gen z and grew up with an ipad, but my parents restricted it to 1 hour a day. I learnt to draw or play pretend, or write stories. Boredom is so healthy!! There are other means of entertainment than a screen!
Im not completely anti screen, and like everyone else im also addicted to my phone. But restricting the content kids consume is so so important, especially when you can teach them to love reading, or just be able to sit with their own thoughts!
So true
The major problem is that a lot of parents don't enjoy "babysitting", and that is one of the reasons to just drop a screen in front of their kids, doesn't matter wtf their kids are watching... If they are quiet that's good enough.
My cousin has kids and she hates to treat them properly, she "doesn't know" how to raise a child, so pretty much her resolve was to make sure she gave the kids a cellphone for their entertainment. The problem is that she has no idea what their kids are watching, and sometimes i'm hella sure there is some fdup shit n there.

English public schooling is so incredibly ass it's actually astounding. my mum worked at my primary school in the special ed unit, and the thing that made almost her entire unit quit was the bullying of a rough family. the kid wasn't supposed to be in the special unit, in fact he had no issues at all and they wanted to help him excel in regular classes. unfortunately, the parents wanted benefits and went absolutely ballistic on my entire school. the bullying from the parents got so horrendous it made 3 people quit, one was the most incredible lady I've met who's dream was to look after children, she used to feed, clothe and look after children who didn't have a family to do it for them. my mum quit soon after she left, she was the units heart and they broke it. I will never forget how hopeless the school was for those terrible people, and that poor kid.
as if literally all of us didnt throw absolute tantrums when we were kids and had our games taken away like it's not the go to punishment for kids. Here we are enlightened asf despite that because its actually the internet itself that gives us access to all the worlds wisdom and knowledge in a way no books ever could have, and DEFINITELY not television. if you want to talk about a generation ruined by technology, talk about boomers literally rotting on their sofas with their brain completely shut off watching actual propaganda on TV every single day with a beer in their hand, y i k e s

I have to say that Pyro's "contrarian" statments are indeed valid, Visual Venture is just over sensationalizing, I believe he may be a sort of content farm. He made a video going over various controversies surrounding the Fnaf franchise and at some parts he mentioned only half of the controversy, or just half-assed his research. So yeah, I think he's just kinda dumping these out and not sharing adding anything of unique value.
Does that make sense? Idk

-Literally every single generation since the dawn of time
11:05 literally. Yes. Or give them coloring books, regular books, small portable toys. Like every generation did before the internet. From birth until 3 years old a child shouldnt have more than 3 hours daily of screen time. For some kids it can be less than that. Since even most Gen Z kids like myself (2002) were not toddlers with ipads. I didnt even get my first touchscreen until I was in late elementary. We are still figuring out how tech like this shapes children’s brains.
Often it leads to lower attention soans, more behavior issues, social isolation and social unawareness. Dont cave in and just chuck your kid an ipad because everyone else has them. It will harm them in the long run
The confirmation of pyro being in the skubidi toilet lore 😭
Is he chill with TV Woman?
On the specific point about the grandparents and their iPad watching grandchild, I think this one is HUGELY overblown.
Every restaurant I ever went to that catered to children had empty colouring pages and crayons for them. Why? Because everyone knows that kids can’t sit still or have grown up conversations, they need something to keep their minds occupied so they don’t get annoyed that they’re waiting for so long without food.
Is this still the case? I’m not sure, mainly because I think the iPad has supplanted the need for it. The restaurant doesn’t need to provide the entertainment for the kids when the parents - or grandparents- bring it with them.
I understand that on an emotional level, people are bothered by grandparents being ignored in favour of a screen but the reality is that 10-20 years ago, those kids would have been colouring instead.
This one actually isn’t that big a deal and is an example of technology adapting to a problem that existed rather than creating new ones.
Difference is coloring stimulates a child’s brain unlike the absolute brain rotting slop that is modern kid’s entertainment
The problem is that the iPad does nothing but flash pretty colors at the kid. Coloring books and actual games stimulate the child’s imagination and promote critical thinking.
@@froginabucket7294 Ding ding ding
Mindlessly watching flashy content with no substance has been proven to lower peoples attention span and make them dumber(no surprise here). Kids-- more than anyone else-- NEED stimulation, they NEED to apply themselves so they could learn. Even the most braindead videogame or TV show is 10x more beneficial to a childs brain than Tik Tok.
I personally grew up on Spongebob, the original Teen Titans, Doreamon, Little Einsteins, etc. Despite shows like SpongeBob sort of falling under as an un-educational/braindead TV show, it still had lessons and was so captivating that it actually improved my ability to speak English early on.
Personally if I'm having kids, when we go out to eat I'm bringing coloring pages for them. When we're at home, I'm setting up a console for them so they can play the Lego games and the sort. The modern solution to a kid needing something to do shouldn't be a tablet, it should at least be a videogame that requires thinking and problem solving.
@@froginabucket7294 critical thinking? what part of scribbling random colours on a piece of paper promotes critical thinking?
I think the issue is more of the content these impressionable kids are consuming while on the IPad. Like how all these kids want to be like the really idiotic "influencers" because thats what they see all day on their ipads. I like to think that if they weren't stuck on them so young, they might grow up a bit before being exposed to people like Jack doherty. Then they could realize that people like him and other "influencers" are idiots like we do. Instead they're sat on ipads all day watching these morons until its the only thing they know and think its ok or cool

In a history class one day, we were making a hypothetical government, and we made a rule that it was outlawed to say "skibidi rizz."

She then brought up the previously mentioned joke and said that H*tler has Skibidi rizz. It was in EIGTH GRADE, and on top of that, it was accelerated learning.
This just happens to every generation, gen alpha is no different
TLDR: I had a similar childhood before the lockdowns, it made me cherish social interaction but i had intense social sensitivity problems.
I was neglected by my parents in a way identical to the lifestyle we all had to live during the Covid lockdowns.
I was never allowed to go outside literally anywhere , and for three years, all I socialized was on games and the Internet. They didn’t make me go to school.
I’m in an adult now, but I can vouch for the ways it affected me as I grew up.
Let me first say that these children will probably be extremely grateful to have real life friends at all , but in my case that led to extreme sensitivity, and not knowing how to set my own boundaries.
These children will probably not know how to end romantic relationships , continue friendships after disagreements, and set boundaries for themselves most importantly.
Also considering how it affected me, it seems to amplify any trauma or mental illnesses that are already present.
In my case i developed mild PTSD and i have anger issues and emotional sensitivity.
but in return, I developed an intense carefulness for the way that I do socialize with people, and I cherish social interaction a lot.
But that was after I dealt with being incredibly estranged and incredibly far behind socially, I have no idea if it could’ve ended up a lot worse for me.
This is just the experience of someone who went through a similar childhood that These kids are having to deal with now.

194 views in 4 minutes, Pyrocynical TV has fallen
When it comes to assessing how children will grow up, people have been saying since TVs were first commercially available in the 50s that they would lead to a generation of empty headed zombies who can’t think. For even longer than that, children have been prone to tantrums when their favourite toys are taken away from them.
So there are definitely some things attributed to Gen Alpha in this video which are either universal or have been hugely overblown in their scale and effect.
However, there is absolutely no doubt that the way Gen Alpha is growing up is significantly different to any humans before them because they never knew a day without the constant presence of the internet, they can’t even conceptualise it. There’s just no doubt that they, generally, have lower attention spans, a greater need for gratification and a higher vulnerability to bright colours and loud noises which will inevitably shape their media tastes for decades to come.
It’s not a coincidence that the number of mental illnesses reported in people is skyrocketing with every year. And whether you believe every self-reported case or think it’s all made up, the fact remains that more people think they have ADHD, autism, depression and so forth than ever before, that’s something new which is here to stay.
What’s to be done about it? I have no idea because it is so effortlessly easy to put kids in front of the iPad but we are raising a generation of people who become more and more addicted to screens and the validation that accompanies it.

Instead, what we have is an incentive for someone to want to be neurodivergent for social media brownie points, an incentive for parents to brag about their neurodivergent child, an incentive for the medical industry to prescribe them medication they don’t need and a fear of not overanalysing certain behaviours for fear of being one of the medical experts who failed to diagnose correctly.

Nowadays, most people i hang with tends to tell me i do have clear signs but i feel like i'd need a new diagnosis because of how overly diagnosed it was. I am 29 now, was around 6-8 back then, so i don't really know if it matters anymore.
But yea, i feel like, while no one should be ashamed for what disabilities, mental illness or sexuality they got, too many people just build their whole personality around it instead of just being a thing that is part of them.
Number of times i met people and the first thing you hear of them is ''i have ADHD and am (insert sexuality)'' almost before even saying ''Hi'' is staggering.

Went to see my family recently and on the way back (on a bus) there was a toddler in a pushchair WITH A PHONE STAND ATTATCHED having cocomelon (volume was up so I know for sure it was that), I thought it was insane. The child was having more fun looking around the bus though than staring at the screen.
what do you mean, we just got a wave of mc donalds workers
11:52 insane being name dropped by the news as a baby lol
I remember when i was in my granddads hospital room, I played my 3DS. He died like a week later and I actually feel so fucking bad about it.
53:40 OFC YOU TRIED 💀💀
I blame a majority of it on the Parents cause they don’t really pay attention to what their children are consuming and just put them in front of a screen what do you expect, just be a better parent
Ah yes blame the Ipad the mature developed adult made a concious decision to give their child, if anything its a resurgance of Lazy or neglectful parents and i love how we as a society still continue to ignore parents being the problem for causing problematic issues and mental illnesses for future generations. Its so easy for them to diflect responsibility because by the time the problem or issue is grown they can just point fingers and blame their child.
i felt like gen alpha watching this guy pause every 2 picoseconds
Man. I'm really glad I kept my kids away from ipads for as long as I could. The hardest part is that all their friends have tech, so them I'm an evil mom for not allowing them to have tech. It's such a hard juggle and it drives me insane. You're not even allowed to be a decent parent that wants your kids to be without tech for as long as you can help it. You get scoffed at by other parents, even.
They still don't have ipads and my 11 and 13 year old have only just gotten phones (because 13 year old kept running away and it wasn't fair to the 11 year old or whatever), which I don't even want for them, but it feels so forced nowadays from all directions.
Thankfully I don't put up with tantrums. Shit gets taken away and time spent in room if they do.
I walk home from work and I see too many kids with dummies in strapped in their strollers with either the parents phone or an iPad stuck in their hands. It’s so sad bro
My take on this whole Gen Alpha is doomed situation: im going to off myself
You already know youre going to be an annoying ass boomer when you repeat the "children of this generation are doomed" line. It happens every generation despite proof that each generation brings new forms of creativity and growth for society as a whole.
bro pyro, this was a 23 minute VIDEO.. 😭😭
People of all ages now a days are so blasted with dopamine from being online that they don’t know how to handle being alone with themselves, to an extent it’s even painful. The only thing you can do is forcefully ween yourself off of social media and change bad habits and eventually it’ll get easier to not being connected all the time.
No wonder he uploads more to the TV channel, with him pausing every fucking 10 seconds for a dono is impossible to edit this into a pyrolive
Just broke my arm but watching pyro slop is more painful
I remember when I was young, I accidentally walked into a parked car due to playing on my ds

It's always funny when people talk about ipad kids like a force of nature that nobody has control over when the parents are right there
It pisses me off how channels commenting on this issue make such a point of explaining specifically skibidi toilet as dangerous. It has been shown that widely popular franchises like Cocomelon decrease attention span by having so many scene changes, and are way more directly available to kids since they have a Netflix show and merchandise and books and toys etc etc. You can find merch for skibidi toilet but you will almost always be looking for it because the source material has no studio backing. Skibidi toilet will never be intentionally shown to a kid after being marketed as “kids media” to a parent. It might be in the algorithm but it doesn’t bait with bright colors or popular characters marketed at kids. It’s a fad akin to Nyan Cat or Annoying Orange… mindless and hugely popular, but it’s never getting printed on diapers.
Elsagate has been a more directly destructive and inescapable kids content farm ON TH-cam KIDS. Lots of the jokes about skibidi toilet have been that the little kids watching it have no idea what the models are from/know the G-man as ‘the skibidi toilet guy.’ Targeted TH-cam kids videos with inappropriate content hidden inside intentionally feature kids characters to draw kids in with familiarity and trick an onlooking parent to think the kid is engaging with something safe because it’s full of the same characters that come from monitored animation studios. And elsagate content has never gotten the same consistent attention Skibidi Toilet has from gen z and millennials except from individuals that have researched how depraved it is. I feel like skibidi is easier to talk about because there’s an ironic side to it that us oldheads would be interested in even if it wasn’t “what the kids like now” and as a childless ironypilled doomer I think it’s really ignorant that so many childless ironypilled doomers make content about how the thing they are engaging with more and more is destroying the coming generation.
Videos like this almost never consider a parent perspective- just in general, but specifically with the dilemma parents experience of how the media they allow will impact their children. Not to say non-parents can’t comment on these issues, obviously, but a non-parent needs to recognize that parents have had to directly combat predatory media to ensure their family’s mental stability and safety for decades. It is more serious than yapping about the “deeper” implications of a meme for TH-cam money and then being able to drop the subject to move onto another one. It’s an ongoing fight for parents where the literal human they are responsible for is at stake and i imagine seeing so many videos that just explain what Skibidi toilet is wastes their time more than informs them of what is dangerous. I like to see pyro criticizing these kinds of videos for just saying “too much technology le bad” and “covid was harmful” and trying to act like they’ve analyzed the entire problem just by pointing out the most obvious aspect of it.
34:12 The thing with ADHD is that sometimes you get really good memory (with side effects obviously) and when you are trying to cure it you would have less memories that stand out but after a while it gets better.
holy shit dude that flight story stuck with me bc i got that air pressure thing so badly that i started just silently sobbing twisting each way in my seat on the way home (got to the point where the ppl behind us (god bless them) asked if we needed any medication like ibuprofen or somethin
if anyone wants any tips for that, i personally take 1 ibuprofen and use nasal spray before taking off/getting on.
he pauses the video an average of every 4 seconds.
Gotta pretend to be mad at donos every 4 seconds. React andy.
@@defaultgraycat nah pyro is reaction anderson
Bro. He has to at least offer some commentary of his own. Like, he's not gonna just sit like a corpse and watch the video with little to no difference in added content. If him pausing the video is such a hassle to you, then how about you support the original creator by actually watching the original video lil bro.
@@ordinarilyedge we cant even understand the video as he pauses the video mid sentence for the worst dono known to man
I just started working as a hs teacher this year and the bit about sts being several grades below in intelligence/knowledge is sadly true. We have 12th graders who can't spell their names. Kids lack critical thinking skills, 11-12th graders literally unable to engage in theoretical thinking... It's insanity.
These kids are also PROUD of not having read a single page of a book in their lifetimes. They are unironically proud of being stupid, they actually say it themselves. It's so INSANE I feel like I shifted into a parallel universe or something
Holy glad im european
