>>6901920>As for tv dying that's a result of tv always being shitty and commercial filled so kids have shifted their television experience to online venues, torrents, streams, and interactive twitch channels. They're still interested in the same thing, the medium through which they enjoyed it is dying out. Most of this is due to companies cheaping out and having no faith in new ips or trying anythign out of the norm, so you get the same safe broing regurgitated crap, so everybody is moving on, not just kids. TV dying is a pretty big hit, i think.
Kids would rather watch idiots on youtube try to be popular and it works.
Just look at /toy/ obsess over nobodies who review toys.
So instead of kids watching cartoons, which can make kids buy toys and other licensed shit, they're watching complete nobodies shill tide pods and cinnamon challenges.
What can you license off of that shit? Even a toy of the youtube personality is boring as fuck and kids know this.
My nieces and nephews know all about 80s and 90s cartoons because of these personalities talking about how kewl that shit was, yet she has watched maybe 1% of what those youtube personalities are blubbering about.
