Everyone talks about Neil banging out the tunes, but no one talks about the fact that there are four known images of Neil, which document him learning piano in a single day! Now that is talent!

So true

Better solutions than age verification BS

Teaching children/teens basic internet safety rules such as not giving out personal information (name, age, etc.) and internet stranger danger

Informing parents/guardians about the existence of the YouTube Kids app before they hand the unfiltered iPad to a kid to watch

Informing about YouTube Teen Accounts

More online teen spaces such as MMOs, pet sites, and RP forums with site rules to keep things appropriate

Emphasis of report and block buttons if something said in said spaces makes someone uncomfortable and/or breaks site rules

Game support forums not being locked to Discord servers and easily accessible to the entire userbase

Parental blocks that restrict downloading dedicated "adult community" apps

In mixed age online spaces, adults being less hesitant about using built in content filters such as tags and mature content labels

Parents/guardians understanding age ratings on items such as movies and video games, especially R and M

Parents, guardians, and trusted adults (ex. teachers, librarians) being available to listen and discuss when a topic is confusing (and not immediately get mad and complain about the material)

Better access to youth library materials (ex. young adult)

More/better offline teen spaces and access to hobbies without too much unnecessary expense

Obviously we'll address all the Feligami [Insert incoherent screeching here] in a moment, but THE COUSINS OMG. The magic trick especially, which is such a Felix thing to do but here is being performed by Adrien... they continue to subvert writing expectations...

Most importantly, Adrien taught himself magic by watching videos on YouTube, presumably alone on his fucked up mattress in his fucked up empty bedroom, presumably because he wanted something he and his cousin could reconnect over, presumably thinking the whole time that Felix should have been the one to teach him. And he was so excited to show him what he'd learnt. And it went so badly. AND HE UNKNOWINGLY GAVE FELIX AN ORDER. WHAT IN THE FANFIC IS THAT.
