    Should be 18,live chats are the embodiment of toxicity and can seriously affect a kids mental state

    Good. Increase it to 25. Maybe 30.

    Its arbitrary since you can just lie and say you’re old enough, but notionally it should be set at 18 imo

    It’s about time. Let kids be kids without social media time schedule pressures or the ‘Gotta hit 100 subscribers before Friday, or my parents make me do chores’ bs.

    the concept of live streaming and their audience further distances us from each other and impedes the development of social skills, and a healthy self esteem.

    hang out with friends irl, watch them play video games. interact with other people, not their crafted video frame and online persona

    Why the fuck are kids that young streaming?

    Fully agree. I can’t imagine knowing what weirdos are online and letting my kid interact with them.

    It should be 18 really. Live interaction with the world and also child labor.

    yes. I don’t have exact age but this is a good step

    Great – Now lets extend that to any channel that’s monetized and features kids. 😒

    Good, I mean there’s several reason but it’s generally a good thing

    Good. Kids are remarkably stupid. We don’t need to be reminded.

    Seems low still but a step forward. I’d say they should still need parental consent and supervision but doubt that will happen.

    Push it to 18. Live chats are gonna mess these kids up.

    It is a good idea but I just know it’s hardly going to be enforced.

    16? Why not 18 or 21?

    When is a human considered mature enough to be exposed to the firehose of shit that is…this?
