I also remember reading a tweet where someone said their young kid would whisper "like and subscribe" at bedtime like it was part of saying "goodbye".

It's bizarre.

My daughter, 8, wanted to send a birthday message to her grandma. We made the video, she sang happy birthday, and said "like and subscribe" at the end.

We did a second take without it.

My son is autistic and used to say "Like and Subscribe" to things he liked, and "Dislike and Unsubscribe" to things he didn't. He watched a lot of YouTube when he was little because his late father couldn't be arsed to actually parent while his mother was working.

Cutest thing though when he'd get a video he liked and the creator would tell you to give the video a thumbs up if you liked it he'd physically give the screen a thumbs up and say "I liked it. Good job." He later figured out how to leave comments and his first comment was a string of poop emoji. Never expected to have to give a 5 year old a talk about internet safety.

And not even a mention of the Patreon or the merch store.

yeah that's what happens when you let the internet raise kids.

A little bit of everything, all of the time.

I guess we'll see how much worse that is than being raised by good ol' fashion network television.

It was kinda wholesome tho since the conversation went like

"I like and subscribe you too" as a meaning of affection

Kids are cute with their lingo

I’m inclined to believe it, because lots of videos have that as an ending.

Oof. And how about kids when some of their first words are “OK Googie” b/c the parents are always playing music on their smart speaker?

Thought it was clever marketing to disallow changing trigger phrases, but it’s actually child abuse! (OK not quite but it’s uncomfortable. I don’t even want a brand on my t-shirt, much less out of a relative’s mouth before they understand it.)
