So they get to make their own slop instead of say, watching three or four toy advertisements disguised as cartoons every Saturday morning.
I'd say they have it better now.
I can sit in a group of people my age whom I've never met before and share reminiscences of some slop cartoon we all liked as kids. Sharing culture like this helps social bonding and helps create community, imo.
If everyone's having a personalized childhood I don't know if that will happen as much.
I think personalised AI gen tiktok is worse than saturday morning children's cartoons.
Maybe I'm crazy though idk.
