Recently NPR had noticed some strange and confusing comments being posted in the replies to some of their podcasts on spotify. They were so indesipherable that they initially just assumed they were a new kind of bot they were being spammed with and were just deleting them en masse. But it wasn't until a Gen Z staffer took a look at them and realized it wasn't gibberish- it was Gen Alpha kids who weren't able to access normal social media due to parental restrictions, so they were using the radio channel's comments section essentially as their own version of twitter.When they reached out to some of them to ask why NPR shows of all places, they explained they'd chosen the most desolate place they could find that was so devoid of outside interaction they assumed they were the least likely to be caught. And to be fair, they got away with it for a fairly long time, so it kind of seems like they were righthttps://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/tv/articles/gen-zer-solves-npr-spotify-113455471.html.
>>543367616Squatting in some worthless channels comment section is pretty kino
>>543367616> they were using the radio channel's comments section essentially as their own version of twitter.Kek’d
>>543367616Anyone with half a brain knew trying to block kids on the internet doesn't really work, and anyone who grew up with the internet remembers doing it themselves or at least some of their peers doing it. Only the boomers who need their grandkids to run tech support for them thinks any of this shit really works.
lmao based aoomers
>>543367616
>>543367616time to go hit on some GenA babes (male)
>>543367861Blocking kids from the Internet is quite terrible. Boomer normie tyrrany. I don't know how I would have coped without Halo and the Internet.
So npr turbo faggots freaked out on innocuous comments, called the authorities, deleted the comments, freaked out on children and exit interviewed them, then kvetched at said children because they called their geriatric drivel unpopular. Yeah, sounds jewish af
>>543368043Modern social media is fucking cancer though, it's not the same as halo and browsing the internet. It turns kids into clout chasing braindead retards.
>>543367616Kids going full Samizdat to avoid the soviet style censorship of larger platforms.
>>543367861>>543368043It's clearly working since they can't get on Xitter
>>543368000Same
>>543367616That's fucking hilarious
>>543367616The kids are alright.
Yeah, that sounds exactly like something gen alpha would do, lol.
>>543367616Based kiddos
>>543368162It’s true and it’s created a worldwide monoculture of dribbling retards and turbo sluts
>>543367616Even if boomers managed to somehow wipe kids off the internet with digital id, gen alphas would FLOOD all radio frequencies, including>Air traffic>Police>TaxiEtc, it would be kino when it finally bites them back in the ass
>>543367616>they'd chosen the most desolate place they couldlol
>>543368848He probably cries himself to sleep after they said that.
>>543367616wouldn't they be alpha? I thought Gen Z was like 30 now
>>543367616>When they reached out to some of them to ask why NPR shows of all places, they explained they'd chosen the most desolate place they could find that was so devoid of outside interaction they assumed they were the least likely to be caught. And to be fair, they got away with it for a fairly long time, so it kind of seems like they were rightfuck yeahhalf my time on GameFAQs was on a board for a random c64 game. every game had it's own board so there were countless empty spaces like that.mods eventuslly took notice, banned fun, we moved to a proper forum made for us after that
>>543367616Hey kids: go out and play. Don’t be socially cringe like your older brother/sister. They’ll be plenty of time for that later. Enjoy your life while you still have one.
>>543367616That’s hilarious. No white shitlib at NPR had a kid so it didn’t occur to them. It took a Gen Z chink to decode the mystery for them. LMFAO
>>543368996Sounds like imdb. I miss those message boards.
>>543368043Blocking kids from the internet is what allows them to grow up to be social and functional adults. You are a product of the internet; not of a functional society.
>>543368985>millennial reading comprehension
>>543368043Agreed that blocking kids from free access to knowledge is a bad thing. Kids should have a space where they can safely share information, share their experiences, opinions and problems. It is important that kids who feel isolated know that there are others out there who share their burdens.But what if becomes addictive, bad actors begin grooming them toward hateful or extreme radical stereotypes and philosophies. How do we prevent adults from posing as kids to groom children for their own sick needs. How do we stop corporate sponsors from grooming kids into future consumers of crap? Do we place “responsible” adults amongst them as monitors? Inevitably, bullying can and will rear its ugly head. In a real world, bullying is geographically isolated with very limited participation and audience; sharing your victory over some punk kid comes with the risk of being caught and punished. Internet bullying has an infinite number of participants without repercussion. It’s documented and forever. As a 16 year old, you’re more likely to understand this than a 12 year old. You’re probably second to none outing and shaming an adult looking for kids to exploit- at 12, not so much.
>>543367861I think its good cause it makes them resourceful and forces them to actually learn some computing skills, maybe some.basic programming and networking principles. Zoomer barely know how file systems work.
>>543370359Like this baord? If i had kids i sure as shit wouldn't let them post on pol, some people here are charismatic while being conpletly schizophrenic
>>543370517I don't want this to get all serious or anything, because this is just a silly news story about kids being funny, but I do kind of lament the fact that when I was growing up and social media was new, you legitimately did need to know/learn at least some basic html/css if you wanted your livejournal/myspace/xanga to look "cool". There was a higher (but still relatively low) bar to entry, so it forced you to learn if you wanted to socialize. So as a result it raised the intelligence level of everyone able to participate, and act as a natural gate to keep out dummies. I should point out that 4chan is one of the easiest social media websites to use lol
>>543369375>Blocking kids from the internet is what allows them to grow up to be social and functional adults.What if they need to be able to interact with the internet to be functional adults in adulthood, because it’s required in society? You make your comment as if we’re having a warm fireside chat over pints. We’re on the internet right now
Wonder how long it will be until we see peer to peer social media tools.
>>543370899buddy, you're probably gonna want to sit down before I tell you about this one
>>543367616autism uhhh finds a way
>>543368754So? So what? Why does this bother you, and how does this affect you personally?
>>543367616Pfft… old racist troll trick from the forum days. We would find some dead or new forum and go a few layers in to a section with zero threads. And just use it. The site owner was usually happy anyone was there
>>543367616>they'd chosen the most desolate place they could find that was so devoid of outside interaction they assumed they were the least likely to be caughtThat is one of the most savage back-handed things I've ever heard. Kudos to the kiddos
>>543367616why don't they just make a website/forum of their own like everyone elșe did in the 90s/early 2000s before kikes convinced the masses they need an "account" and post all their personal information online.
>>543368085Pretty good summary.
>>543367616>Gen alpha can't get around a parental block These kids are so tech illiterate it's embarrassing. Imagine being out-maneuvered on the computer by your fuckin mum
>>543367616Because that's the core of how social media started, if you remember, that how millennials were talking on early twitter and myspace and such, just random stuff and fun, till jews took over them and turned them into propaganda machines, muh eceleb and muh monetization and ads, muh rules and other stupid shit, then later turned into fucking official channel where gov communicates and share updates, and all the stupid shit you wrote in 2007 suddenly is being pulled back and used against you.
>>543372789you are a retarded person.
>>543371399Because I have to read retarded Canadian posts every day
>>543367861Older generations could figure out how to get around kid controls. Today's kids are dumb as bricks and completely tech illiterate.
yikes, Gen Z is aging FAST, look at that guybut this is all good. People born after 9/11/01 should not be allowed on the internet. and you should have restrictions on posting or a flag if you're born in 1996 or later (IE someone who doesnt remember 9/11). those "people" have no value to online discourse gen alpha is the first gen to not be glad about turning 18, they are completely cooked. I hope they get drafted since they deserve it
>>543367861it worksjust not the pussy way you going with itwe in Poland we prohibited all kids up to 14 y old, to bring smartphone to shoolor register on social media
>>543367861This is why I made my own minecraft server for my kids and their friends. Better to contain and redirect than try to completely stop.
>>543373061gen Z should go first
>>543374314Boomers and the part of genx that became boomers 2.0 should go first, they're the only ones with a stake in the game anymore.>Why don't princes fight the war?>Why do they always send the poor?
>>543368178They just don't use xitter and eventually won't even use methods for normal public access entirely. Except IRC because IRC networks can be made independent.
>>543374314well Gen Alpha deserves to go the most, but you're right Z deserves it as well. But Alpha is the typical cannon fodder age. either way, both are useless and largely borderline retarded generations >>543376167that will not happen. first because of age, and 2 because those are the people in congress. It's only right to send Alpha, and some Zoomers to die for Israel. (and thats a GOOD thing!)
>>543377135you really think gen alpha and zoomers could figure out IRC? LEL
>>543377325Some IRC packages made it as easily accessible as a single download package and you don't need to solve the problem of a dozen redirects for trojan deliveries. Everything else is time and children have ample amounts of it to throw away.
