    There’s probably a good amount of literal kids on these networks who are just too young to understand/like politics. And suddenly see their idols get into stuff they don’t understand. It’d be interesting to figure out ratio of kids to adults who dislike people/media/companies “going political”

        Not sure if sarcasm or not. But I’m also not saying the kids are the majority - I just remember going to shady websites when I was 12. The internet felt safer back then but what kid is going to be stopped by “are you at least 13?” prompt. Imagining kids going to your_least_favorite_instance also seems petty bad.
