Disturbing kids videos

It's time to bring attention to the worst of social media commercial trends.

As an adult entertainer, it's become apparent there are those who try to pass off as adult and end up with a tone mismatch. Projecting their work to a purely commercialized psychographic of kids that can't control their attention control.

This is what is talked about to racing the to bottom. Where a platform mindset drags all little desperate circles of improvisation and status, with views dedicating other stuff.

Where things merely get more perverse and outrageous for the sake of it, chasing a fairytale of ad revenue, pure hack work, especially with something as commercialized as children's entertainment.

These arms race for exposure, as Tim Wu would articulate (I'm reading the attention merchants right now). Typical race of the bottom where things get more outrageous and outlandish for the sake of views and a-moral direct advertising revenue.

Even with the curation, that risks bringing scars to the curators for children's content. So note these trends.

I'd never want to be picked for this showing.
