Short answer: No
Long answer: Noo
Still longer ^^
damn i was literally brainstorming about commenting this LOL
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
100h like
Lmao yeah
Toxic culture, sexualizing underage girls, and the constant feelings of inadequacy if you’re not like the people you see. I don’t think Tik Tok should be for anyone, personally.
True
Also promotion of a materialistic life.
By that logic, no social media should be for anyone. All of these other sites do this as well, maybe with the exception of like twitter and facebook, but they have their own bad features and scenarios that they put you in. If you think tiktok for "toxic culture" shouldn't be for anyone, go ahead and rule out all social medias as well
(yes, I am aware that I'm being influenced by this thing I see that I disagree with online and by paying attention to it I'm proving X's point)
@@toasty9670 I do. I don’t like social media in general, the only reason I singled out tik tok is because that was the one brought up in the video.

I guess the main issue about kids being on social media is how easily they could be influenced . I remember back in 2012 (I was 12), I registered a Facebook account and played games like Restaurant City and Tetris Battle. I wasn't influenced that much in a negative way, most likely because there weren't any *bad influencers* around that time (or at least I wasn't aware, cause I was an innocent kid).
Now look at this year, 2020. *Some* UA-camrs and influencers (I'm not gonna name them specifically), have a fanbase of mostly kids and the content they put out are... not appropriate for kids. The type of content they're putting out heavily influences their fanbase, which are the kids.
That's why I'm glad and relieved that kids watch Hermitcraft. Sure, some kids get pretty toxic especially when there are community events like the Mayoral Event and Decked Out (Some commenters said some really nasty things about other Hermits); nonetheless, the Hermits always bring it up and tell his/her viewers that it's *wrong*, and that teaches Hermitcraft's Viewers that being *rude* is *wrong*.
Which is why I love Hermitcraft as a whole because not only the contents produced are amazing, but the personality of each Hermit is amazing as well (:
I agree with you
But it's not the creators' fault. It's the parents who don't control what their kids are watching. It's like letting your kid play an R rated game and then complain that the game is violent and has a bad influence
@@IngvarMar ikrua-cam.com/video/a1j9owBuwdQ/v-deo.html
Luckily hermits are mature persons other type of creators would have made more drama out of that situations.
Skippy?
X:"I'm influencing who you are!!"
Me:"Oh my dayz X!"
you will be surprised how much somebody influences you. You can take on somebody's mannerisms/tone just by them talking to you.
Yeah, I notice that as well. When I watch a lot of interviews with a particular artist it usually influences my way of speaking.
Yeah, the new way of saying hello to someone between me and my dad is HALLO. No thanks to a certain hermit. 😅
My friends: what podcasts do you listen to?
Me:
“Now you’re being influenced”
I swear this man has ibxtoycat levels of charm lmao
I just love these channels
I didn’t know that I needed is Xisuma being compared to toycat until now
@Student Yusuf Mussaji toy cat is yes
sorry cant stand ibxtoycat, he talks like he is rushing to the bathroom and repeats the same sentence over and over again without saying anything new, just extending the length of the video to get the money when creators like Xisuma or Etho, Mumbo, all do well thought out and either informative of entertaining videos
Is it weird that I feel glad X influences who I am? :>
You like having a good role model? Well that seems fine.
No not weird, I do feel relived, he is a great guy! It's the wisdom of the bee
When I was younger I was upset that my parents wouldn’t let me have Instagram but now I totally understand why. This is because my friend posted something he shouldn’t have and got made fun of for weeks

About the experiment where they offer one or two marshmallows to kids; I've read that kids from families who are less well off tend to be more likely to take the first marshmallow without waiting for the second, while kids who come from richer families are more likely to be able to wait, because there's less impetuous for them make sure they get at least one marshmallow.
there is one person in my class that is always in their phone. They swear at the teachers sometimes and are always being negative. I don’t think they could go a day without their phone and always need everything that they want. If one thing they don’t like happens, they’ll complain and complain and complain. I feel like social media has a big impact on this and impacts behavior in kids and teens.

I just use UA-cam & Reddit. That's it. I'm apart of many subReddits, but only the ones with good communities. I'm mostly on the Hermitcraft Subreddit because, In my opinion, It has a positive environment.
I agree and same
Me too
I recently deleted tiktok from my phone because I could feel it bringing me into a self destructive state; I was only able to realize this because I had a similar issue with Twitter. Young kids aren’t able to recognize those boundaries as clearly; heck most adults barely can. Social media isn’t inherently bad but it is powerful and requires lots of self regulation to use safely.
Reddit is an echo chamber. I stopped using it a while ago for everything except Minecraft inspiration.
You definitely have influenced me
Same Xisuma have influenced me so much in a great way he help me become a better person and get out of Depression and I’m soo thankful for him thank you X
Children need guidance. You cant let them figure out everything for themselves. They wont figure out what harms them and what is safe. Even adults now didt figure that out for themselves. There is so much information that confirms the harms of social media so its important to keep children away from it but also explain the psychologial reasons to abstain from it
I mean i experimented fb i dont think it worked out but i did ok?
When I go to College I want to become a phycologist, Xuma seems to be faaarrrrrrr ahead there
You mean psychologist
Tbh I feel like X's influence on me is actually quite positive, I notice that I think things through more often and in general attempt to be calm at all time
Hey X, you’ve convinced me to take a break form UA-cam. I’m 16 and I realize how much time I waste. I’ll catch up on your content eventually.
1 month later, how are you doing?
@@resurrectedbard Good! I only really uses UA-cam for music. You think you need it. You don't. It's hard for a week, but then it gets easy. If you find yourself missing a certain creator, write their name down. In like a month of no UA-cam, unsub from everyone who weren't important enough to remember. Then, only watch videos on the subscription tab. That's my UA-cam advice. I hope you give it a try.
@@samcook6250 I don't really use any other social media, so UA-cam is kind of my chill mechanism. However I am very careful to delete unnecessary subs as well.

Tiktok is bad, my lil sister is 8 she acts like she is 18 cuz of tik tok, she is really weird now. Its like she is more mature than me, when i was her age i played with toy and stuff, but she is all about tik tok. This is what she says every day “oh ma gosh Charli dmelio is so prettttty” *in a weird voice*
now that youve mentioned the movie/docu 'The Social Dillema', I still need to watch that for my study... I study Software Engineering and we need to watch that because of the ethical perspective on SE. This is quite an interesting topic. IDK, just wanted to leave this here
Xisuma is that uncle with good answers and opinions towards everything
Kids need more supervision on social media but they lie about age and a lot of parents don’t supervise kids im 11 I have supervision from my parents and I always tell them when something happens
Same! I'm a lot younger than you but I can still manage!
The thing is that the same problems that apply to social media (and not only social media!) for children also apply to a lesser extend to adults. This spiral of negativity is toxic for everyone, the only difference is that most children and some adults just get drowned in it, and suffocate.
The biggest problems with social media are in my opinion the algorithmic "most relevant" presentation of posts, and the toxic chasing of fake clout.
The former is the reason why I prefer chat groups, and sites that sort by "newest first". You don't only see the "good" but also the "lost average". This can be really motivating to someone like me, who used to think he sucked, but now knows he is just part of the regular 95% of people.
The latter is just a social problem that get amplified in these echochambers. Years of Hollywood stars have trained us to strive a life of fake clout, instead of focusing on the interactions that really matter. Friends get collected like trading cards, and the winner is the one who is present in the most decks. This behaviour creates ever-hungry clout-addicts, who focus their life on creating even more effective "like"-traps, making others envious and hence the cycle repeats.
The real problem is not the social media, it is how you use it. There is nothing wrong with a grandma in a knitting-group like there is nothing wrong with a child in a lego group. But it only takes one toxic clout-hungry individual to get them all going "share"-hungry, and this is especially apparent with children. If these "clout"-hungry kids just get ignored (which happens quite a lot in some of the better-minded chat groups I'm part in), then you can really start to see how beneficial the internet can become, once a group of individuals get together to solve a problem.
Of course, the whole irony is that I'm writing this on a "I'm first"-hungry platform, where I already know that nobody will read my comment and it will get sorted to the bottom... 🤔
@@levi7493 Haha 😊 that was not the intend, but at least now I know I haven't been shadow-banned from the internet for no reason 🤔
answer: no
nobody should be on tik tok
Yes
On comparison: personally from a UA-cam perspective, I struggle with it. Looking at channels similar to mine who are where I wanna be can make me not too pleased with myself and rather bitter about their success. And I’m 30, so it must surely be tough for kids to deal with
Dude, you aren't even doing badly. You have a very respectable amount of subscribers, and I think you'll find you just gained 1 more :)
I hate when kids get so sucked into social media and I really feel sorry for them. They grow up always seeing people who look better than them, people who can do things better than them, and most of the time they dont see how good they have it. Not to mention it is pretty bad for their health. the worst part is that they dont know any better and havent learned enough to know how much it affects them. Thanks X for such a good video today!
A pet peeve of mine is when people talk about kids not waiting half an hour for a marshmallow. Would you wait half an hour to eat a marshmallow? Oh you wouldn’t? You must not have self control.
Am I the only one who is amazed that X can have these deep conversations without losing count of his blocks while be is building?
This actually helped me, I actually had TikTok and I just thought it was just a short video app, after a couple of months my online behaviour was actually beginning to worsen, when someone offended me I would throw really harmful comments at them so I took some breaks and I uploaded on TikTok less but my online behaviour was still bad. So after watching this video now I actually understand how social media affects children like me, thanks Xisuma
Edit: I deleted TikTok now so I won't get bothered more
Thats why I deleted it
as an 13 year old watching this from his mom's account..
thank you for the wisdom you have given me, any other kid wouldn't have cared.
Wait... *HOW COME NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT THIS ORANGE DOOM GUY?!*
Watching him build and hearing him talking is so peaceful as well
i really gained alot of respect for X in this, not like i didnt respect him before this but its about time someone really dived into this topic, such great things said here.
5:21
I saw a magician do this but he made it so that if a child put a cup over the marshmallow so that they could more easily resist the urge of eating it, it would disappear. One kid put the cup over the marshmallow, was really excited and proud that he succeeded when the magician came back, but then got really emotional when he saw that the marshmallow disappeared and thought that he wouldn't get any.

Alternative Title: Should anyone be on Tik Tok?
short answer: no
long answer: also no
@@ThunderClawShocktrix long answer
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Is the answer not already obvious?
Tik Tok is purely algorithm, if you only like the things you want to watch it's not that bad. I only get jokes and nothing else
@@EssenSlug It's not just that - Tik Tok also collects the personal data you give it, and at least I'm not entirely sure what they're doing with it. One possibility is that they are giving at least some of this data to the chinese government, which wouldn't be good to say the least. There are also a few other issues with data collection like that, like security breaches.But that's the other main reason that I don't like tik tok. Besides the fact that it's a social media, and that it can be a major distraction. However, the main reason why I made this comment was that I thought Xisuma was talking more so about if anyone should be on Tik Tok rather than if 11 year olds should be on Tik Tok.
Xisuma did a very good job at explaining this because all i've been told is
"Dont go on social media"
"Its inappropriate"
"It is dangerous"
So Xisuma did a more in depth explanation into this
Sorry if this makes no sense, all I'm trying to say is that Xisuma did a good job explaining this
1:21 Birds are singing, flowers are blooming...
Omfg I just went on there cuz I was like “yh it’s super addictive fsr and ima prove it” and accidentally forgot what I was doing and wasted 24 minutes of my life.
Tik tok is the bane of my existence
You fine?
Finally someone who feels the same as I do. I believe that having a phone boosts social media use.
Xisuma says so many great things, you're like a philosopher my man!!
The difficulty is that all social medias are different. I would say tik tok is bad for the content the children are subconsciously pressured to put out. Videos of them dancing in highly suggestive ways to highly suggestive lyrics. Instagram, like you said is "bad" because you are pressured by content others are putting out.
Long answer: It depends, I guess it is ok as long as the supervisor trusts and knows whether they (the kids) are responsible enough and know what to stay away from and what is appropriate. For some kids they can be easily influenced and will believe and do whatever other people say, others however will only listen to people they can trust and if they see something inappropriate they show their carer. Now some people are probably going to say ‘why not just keep them off completely?!’ Well I believe that if social media is is used correctly it can actually be quite helpful and educational if used properly.
Short answer: depends on the kid and carer
I literally watched the social dilemma yesterday. Now I'm concerned about how accurate Google is 🤔
The only thing I really have to add is that I have deleted the UA-cam app a few times because I found myself doing nothing else. I also found that Reddit, especially r/askreddit was getting me depressed after a while. Idk what it was, but everyone on there seems to be super hopeless. I stopped using for the most part because of it, and have generally steered clear except for occasional searches.
Fin fact: Kids and teenagers don't know how to regulate time very well.
I think coppa is good with it being 13 but it could be good to have like internet classes for children so that they can learn how to stay physically and emotionally safe online
@RedKnightC one hundred percent agree. In the USA where I am from I feel like they need to redo the entire system I’m not sure about other places. There should be basics on how to live in the world then students should be encouraged to pick higher English or biology or what ever as a secondary thing instead of forcing unnecessary subjects that students would not engage with and still not have the things that would really help a child learn how to be in the world after high school
Hmm. That's interesting actually. Since you can't really prevent kids from staying off of the internet at such a young age even when they're not supposed to be on the internet, it's probably best you normalize that option so it's not taboo to be on the internet at such a young age, but educate the accounts that are below that certain age limit to let them know the dangers of being on it in the first place. That's certainly one way of tackling the problem.
@@IridescentTwilight Yes, but I've seen that parents, and even teachers encourage lying about your age to get onto certain web-sites. They most often work around it.
@@lordfawful2329 My idea was theoretical more than anything. Theoretically speaking, if we get rid of how taboo it is (might be poor word choice here, but I don't really have a better word for it for now) to have kids lie about their age when they sign up for websites and services, they'd be more comfortable signing up with their real age. And if their real age ends up being below a certain threshold (to be determined) where they're more susceptible to being influenced, certain websites and services can at least give them warnings about potential threats and let them know that they're at risk of being manipulated and help them understand that. It allows young kids to be educated and have awareness over the topic, at the very least.
The idea is very theoretical, since it's nearly impossible to get here without violating certain rules set in place in today's standards, but I like to explore tangential ideas :) Getting a discussion going about it is essential.
@@IridescentTwilight Yes, I see what you're saying, and now, I see a bit more of it, but also, I'm not sure that would stop very many kids doing it themselves, I see your idea is somewhat meant to be set in a reality where they pay attention to all those things, but I don't believe very many people have ever listened to common sense.
Get a some popcorn, this is a long one.
I'm literally 11 and I'm constantly using social media. Even from my perspective, I know that TikTok or any sort of social media is definitely NOT safe for my age. It's not just TikTok but I'm pretty much always on Discord. I think most of us know that it's obviously not always age appropriate. I'm not the type of person to try and get followers, friends, subscribers, etc. I'm just using it because it's a good way to contact friends. I understand the safety hazards but I'm not an attention seeker in any way. I don't try and look cool by learning all the new dances that involve *~innapropriate~* actions. (We all know which one I'm talking about.) I mainly do art and training my future guide dogs. Anything other than that, it's LGBTQ+ related and talking about how I found myself part of the non binary community.

Noooo! Young children on the internet just cant handle peer pressure! Not onlybthat but there is some really innapropiate stuff on tiktok also that they dont need to see or hear.
Honestly my reason for disliking kids on tiktok and social media in general, is because they want to act like adults so badly they become so annoying. They see all these “cool and famous” people and want to be like them so much, they practically lose themselves. Many children these days smoke, drink, wear makeup and other things partially because they saw people on the internet looking really cool doing it. Of course, they will all deny it if asked but it’s obvious. It makes me kind of sad honestly, but also happy that I’m not one of them.

why would you wait half an hour for two marshmallows? if the choice was nothing or waiting half an hour for 2 marshmallows i would choose nothing, the not waiting option is just a free marshmallow
I am a 19 year old, so I'm probably on of the first to have grown in the era of social media, I stay as far away from it as possible, The only social medias I partake in are WhatsApp (which doesn't really count), and an hour of UA-cam a day.

I get a lot of what you're saying, I am not on socials yet, but am trying to get on insta. I think the thing with social media that is GOOD, is being social, people just, don't really know how to be social on these medias like facebook, instagram, tik tok, the whole 9 miles. At the end of the day, I think social media has just been corrupted for younger audiences. Kids should be able to be on social media, especially now with every body locked up in their homes, children just naturally need that outside interaction, and they are being denied. it would be beneficial if someone in a position of power, could realize this and start to make a change. I am going onto social media because a lot of organizations I am in use medias for distribution of information, and I am also a photographer, and want to share my content, I don't want to be one of those people who sits there all day scrolling and envying/hating/depressing themselves, that is another thing I think social medias are good for, is distribution of content
i hate Tik Tok. my 13 year old sister uses it, and actually posts herself dancing on there. she's actually done a live stream with her feiend, where *_RANDOM ADULT MEN_* joined. they were showing off our house, and showed me and my mom on the stream. i can't belive my parents still let her use it
The main issue with kids and social media is, that COPPA prevents channels that are directed at children from advertising. So all the channels become "family channels" to avoid this regulation and suddenly everyone who wants to advertise becomes a family-channel, because all advertisers want to advertise to kids, but the only way to do it is by pretending the content is for adults too...
Advertisers have made the internet a Kindergarten and every adult needs to act like children are present at all times, because otherwise the advertisers don't make any money...
But I agree.. Kids should not have unrestricted access to the internet. Anything they consume should be monitored by their parents.
The internet is a public place and like all public places, they are not child-safe.
speaking of documentaries you should watch feels good man, it a pepe the frog documentary and it is actually really good and interesting

I think a lot of it has to do with how much the internet spaces have changed as well. Go back a little less than 10 years ago, the dangers of the internet were basically scams, catfishing, predators and unfiltered shocking content (think creepypasta for example, or more serious, those gore websites sharing truly horrifying pictures and videos). Other than the horror aspect, they were pretty clear threats that you could navigate around with enough attention from your parents.
Today, as you said, it's way more subtle, and "influencers" are very normalized. At an age where you're building yourself, your beliefs, your aspirations, it's truly dangerous, and in a way that's way more difficult to fight. Echo chambers are a big problem as well.
Which is sad, because I have to admit the internet played a huge part in who I am today. I discovered so many things thanks to it, it made me accept myself in a way my parents or close circle never could, because they just weren't educated enough.
I had hoped younger children could maybe experience the same thing, but the truth is that I don't want them to be on the internet today. And it's even scarier when the plateforms have age recomandations that parents aren't making sure to respect!
Im a 14 year old on tiktok, I literally saw an 11 year old with a joke about a p!ss k!nk in there bio NOOOOOOOOOOO
oh god no
I watch social media like a lot and i am 11 ill try to reduce it thanks x
@@HairyPotato222 youtube is 13+.....
@@HairyPotato222 apple or google?
@@HairyPotato222 that would be why, their age rating is different
@@HairyPotato222 That's a recommendation. You are legally required to be at least 13 to use it, but you are recommended to be at least 17.
You shouldn't have to. You should try to formulate your own stance on the matter.
I’m 11 tik tok is bad for kids it can get kids addicted to it and feel bad for having hate comments or having a friend from social media block you and make you feel horrible but it can also help some kids with education but not as much education and more negativity
Damn it X, you got me influenced
Hello
When I was 11
I got a phone
And I didn't use any social media
Unless you count the UA-cam comments section
2 years have passed
Still don't use social media
But still use the UA-cam comments section.
I'm kind of the same. I only use youtube and whattsapp. Sometimes instagram explore because my wifi is shite.
Absolutely beautiful
0:30 I love listen to songs about Germanys methods in the second world war
Another marshmallow every 30 minutes?! Unless I have a bunch of stuff to entertain myself, I wouldn't wait that long for ONE MORE marshmallow, that is just a waste of time 🤣
I think it's fine in moderation. I'm a teenager who in quarantine was on social media for quite a lot of time each day. Getting off of it for the past two, almost three weeks has been great. I don't know if I'll go back anytime soon, but at some point I probably will. Sure I might have bias, but with moderation and context we can combat the depressive influence social media has on us. The particular context to remember is that
1. # of followers is a direct product of how many people you've met in real life or just arbitrarily followed on instagram. It's not indicative of how many actual friends you or anyone else has
2. People's posts might make it seem as if they have all the friends in the world, but they're really posting their best moments. It's arguably better to experience those moments of friendship and kindness in your own life without a camera there and the pressure of posting it to social media
3. Things can get difficult with social pressure in real life/non social media interactions, particularly the pressures surrounding competition and romance. I can speak from personal experience that I never really felt insecure about these arbitrary numbers and seldom compared the things my friends/people I knew would post online. But with social pressures around romance I became a lot more insecure and scared, and thus started comparing myself and spending more time on social media. When this happens, taking breaks (as short as an hour or as long as multiple months) really helps! I wish I did sooner.
Thanks for the influence :D
before i watch the video:
11 year olds should not even have a smart phone! i got my first smart phone for the 14th birthday and the only reason i have a newer one now 5 years later is because the battery broke.
and if they have a phone, they should stay away from this kind of social media. they see stupid stuff, repeat that and make a fool of themselfs. another big problem is that stuff like that often gets a bit pornographic and 11 year olds should not see that at all
after i watched the video my opinion didn't change. i agree with you 100%
I was 11 when I got my first phone but I never used social media EXCEPT for youtube and had some games on it. I was never addicted to UA-cam thankfully
