Our youth needs to invest themselves in more useful and important matters
RAWALPINDI: As someone who recently familiarised herself with the politics of YouTube vloggers from Pakistan (Ducky Bhai) and of Pakistani origin (Sham Idrees and Queen Froggy), I am shocked to see the influence they have.
It is obvious that their hard work is appreciated by their followers, and good content should be undoubtedly lauded. However, it is impossible to imagine that as followers, people would invest themselves in the vloggers’ lives to such an extent that they would carry out mob attacks against supposed rival vloggers.
While Ducky Bhai and others condemned the recent attack on Sham Idrees and Queen Froggy, sources say the latter two orchestrated the attack to gain sympathy.
Whatever the case may be, hitting people for any reason is completely unacceptable! It shows the decline of our ‘educated’ youth as they are unapologetically willing to lynch somebody for disagreements between two professional vloggers! Our youth needs to invest themselves in more useful and important matters, instead of wasting their time and acting worse than animals.
