  It’s clear that you either do not have children, or that it has never occurred you to take an interest in their interests.

      Your sister sucks, therefore YouTube is bad?

        Both can be true…

        YouTube is awful for children.

  i agree with you 100%, but baby shark was so viral, it reached every child, regardless if their parents used the screen as a babysitter

    Granted. That still doesn’t make it make sense to tell people that if they don’t know about baby shark they’re bad parents.

      You, seemingly deliberately, misunderstood my message.

      Baby Shark was astoundingly pervasive and the only way to have missed out on it was to be belligerently unobservant.

      I’ll take the benefit of doubt and assume you’re not a contrarian asshole and just took a wierd interpretation.

      The interpretation I got (and most people based on the comments) is that the audience did not get it because they do not take care of their children so they aren’t aware of viral songs anymore with children have heard.

        I edited my initial comment. I did indeed have a weird interpretation born from unfortunate experience and ignorance.

  Baby shark predates the internet, no? I learned it on a fieldtrip in the late dialup era, well before casual internet browsing was mainstream (at least for kids my age)

    It hurts to read “The original song dates back to the 20th century” in the Wikipedia article.

    You got me curious sp I looked it up, and you’re right. Apparently it was a campfire song that’s been around since like the 70s? I never heard of it until pinkfong put it on blast. Thanks for the education!

      Yeah, we were singing it a long time before the internet was a thing accessible to children. It was passed down by those who went to camps along with such songs as “da moose da moose”

  Kids tend to like happy music. AND THEY WILL ASK FOR IT ON REPEAT. Mine wants APT. CONSTANTLY.

  Nothing to do with videos, it is about the music.
