We can prevent this by not getting trapped in their tactics and letting them scam us in buying their courses and paying attention to kids..
Fake Influencers. Some influencers on platfoms like Twitch and Youtube influence little children about false information and being bad towards their parents and showing children a lifestyle that they can’t have but still wish and show them only the best side of their life which leads to children getting stubborn about buying things they can’t have and even sometimes guilt tripping them in paying them in form of superchats and bits. We can prevent this by awareing our children that what they see on internet is not always what its like in real life..
Stealing of data from websites. Some websites often sell data from us and sell them to companies so that company can get more information on us so that they can provide us with ads related to our search history so tht we get interested in them and buy the products which will then profit the companies and websites.
