Kids are smarter than we give them credit for. It’s like kids dreaming of being actors or singers or athletes.
Even if they think their teachers are good people, they clearly see that they don’t drive fancy cars. Even if their parents are middle income earners, they aren’t as famous or rich as the people babysitting them on screen. It may be more obnoxious and more piped straight into their eyeballs now but it’s hardly new.
Hell I’m a grown ass adult and I think about every once in a while.
While i agree with the general thing, I also truly think reality is more nuanced. I used to be a high-school teacher, and a lot of those kids just yearn for sincere socialising opportunities in general, more than celebrity success (even if some do also have that goal)
There’s no longer any realistic path to wealth for anyone who doesn’t have nepotism on their side.

Have fun talking to chat which is at most 3 people for years while waiting for your breakthrough
Not who you responded to, but when I play with the idea of starting streaming, that’s the kind of vibe I wish for, not the breakthrough part
Nothing wrong with that, but it’s not what the kids are looking for
