I'm very scared /v/ what the fuck is happening with these kids? vydia was a awesome for me when I was their age and I'm retarded I don't understand whats on the ipads that = cause them to do this.

They probably have tachiyomi and are reading some good ass manga

>>715945032
They do play games but its like shit that our parents play like bejeweled or something about sharks? but they also allotted time on tiktok. I don't know if there is a tiktok for kids like youtube kids? I can't imagine giving my child access to wild feral creatures 24/7.

That would be based unfortunately they don't know how to read. If they were it would just be the images. Also tachiyomi got shutdown?

A good parent wouldn't allow that.

The internet, more specifically nonstop access and targeted algorithmic content.
Kids are being socialized as consumers by markets on the web.
The old internet was better because it was a niche place for relatively normal people who socialized in person that were slightly weird or outcast.
Kids these days are taught their morals and values and mores by companies and influences

How can an open source program be shut down

>>715945424
I heard somewhere the nips got it to cease developement because of copyright

if i have kids they will not be allowed to use the internet at all for ages, no tiktok cancer no youtube trash. kids are FUCKED right now they are being raised into brainless zombies

games are proactive, ipads on autoplay are reactive.

My nephew is 5 and he ABSOLUTELY loves farming simulator. It's like a drug for him. Now he won't stop calling me to play that game in my pc. I think i made a mistake showing it to him.

>new generation bad... My generation good!
OP, I am sorry to inform you that you are old and irrelevant.

genuinely millennial parents will have to pay dearly in 5-10 years. never seen anything like it in my life. they've en masse ruined an entire generation via neglect.
