  • I seen that too. It has become especially apparent on a small sub I still view as it didn't really migrate.

    It went from people in their 20s discussing shared experiences with a medical condition, with the occasional high schooler dropping by to ask something. To babys first experiences, with condition. Absolutely filled to the brim with 13-17 year olds.

    I'm fine with them being there and asking questions and talking, but not when every post and comment is just more teenage drama.

    I seen a similar thing on another sub, while that has always screwed younger then the first, it definitely feels like it dropped like 5 years in average age.

  • I can also see them keeping .co.uk out of legitimacy instead of switching. Like you can have just .uk nowadays but everyone is so used to the .co that it looks weird and unofficial if it's not there.

  • That and small kids over powering a small army of fully grown well trained men, with nothing but their own strength.

    Even more so if it is just so the kid can get themselves into a dangerous situation, so that said men have to save them.

  • While I haven't seen any of those communities on Lemmy yet, but what about communities that crosspost but for the completely different reasons. Like a post from "We love X" getting crossposted and made fun of over at "X is stupid". Those two really shouldn't be sharing up and down votes, and when we are at it what about downvotes? That makes bringing and bullying extremely easily and how would it be handled between places where one has down votes and the other have them turned off.

  • Welcome to the club. Except I'm in my early twenties and never got to beat the shit out of my body, it did it all on its own. But still welcome, I recommend a heating pillow, a weight blanket and staying away from the cold and draft.

  • It was Jim Browning, as another comment said. I can never remember his name more than Jim, so I settled for job description, as he is easy to find that way.

    But others have been through it also, Linus Tech Tips, The Spiffing Britt and Atomic Shrimp are the other big ones I know of, but there is plenty more. Of those Atomic Shrimp is also a scam hunter like Jim, so it definitely shows that just because you are very familiar with what it looks like you aren't immune too it.

    I can’t remember if they all fell for the same or similar ones or if it was different ones, but that really doesn't matter so much.

    And what happend was Jim and LTT got tricked into deleting there channels. LTT by a fake sponsorship and Jim I don't remember someone else said it was fake YouTube support.

    Spiff had something of a similar thing happen but I don't remember the means, and Atomic Shrimp I believe was a different typ of scam not related to YouTube.

    But everyone got their channels back in the end.
