DAE have kids that spend more time watching videos of other people playing videos games than they spend actually playing the same video game themselves.

My young girls all watch minecraft videos all the time. They also watch videos of adults opening toys. Are they weird or is this just what kids do these day?

Yes. I didn't think anything could be more boring than watching them play Minecraft but watching them watching Minecraft takes the cake.

Since YouTube is so well known, finding a video of someone playing a game or unboxing a product is faster, easier, and cheaper than doing it yourself. It definitely isn't more fun, but a person kind of gets that same gratification just from watching someone else do it.

Yes, my little girl is addicted to watching minecraft and 5 nights at freddies and I've asked myself this very same question, although I play those two games with her and we do our fair share of outdoor stuff at the park and play with Lego and the like so I'm not personally worried.
