"When someone says "I was raised by the internet", I immediately think: social media addiction, 4chan and other online obscenities."

Yes, that is definitely personal, there are many other types of internet upbringings.

Take a look at the most viewed videos on youtube and you will be enlightened into a more recent type of internet upbringing.

The most popular category of videos on youtube are baby videos. Parents literally leave their 1 or 2 year old toddlers with their ipad. Those kids won't go into 4chan, it's a new generation.



Yeah, truly revolting what gets the views on YouTube and TikTok now. Given how young the kids are who are so often given unfettered access. Too many parents wear their “clueless about technology” badges with joking pride and put no effort into learning how to set up effective parental limits.
