Animated storytime channels. Need I say more?
Me:*browsing Youtube*
Me: *sees title: "I am allergic to masks! (worse than COVID)*
Me: Wow I wonder what kind of story this could be? *clicks*
Video: *protagonist is a stolen art drawing from Faline San and turns out not to be allergic*
Me: thanks for wasting 10 minutes of my life with your pathetic clickbait, extorting children and giving Karens more excuses to keep exisiting!!!
Everybody else: Why'd you click on the video? Everybody older than 5 knows these channels have no life and are fucking disgusting human beings.
