Things are never the same now, because kids now sit on their iPads watching Cocomelon all day unknowingly making music artists not as popular as they used to be when the kids videos they watch are getting billions of views. When I was kid growing up in the 2000s kids used to watch Nick Jr, PBS Kids, Playhouse Disney, etc. on the TVs and preschool shows then used to respect the kids intelligence level, promoted good morals for children, didn't use them for views or money like Cocomelon does. we were so much better off in the mid 2000s when music artists were popular.
