Joe Rogan shares a similar take on the issue. He stated, “I do not think children should be developing in front of the world. I think that’s an insane amount of pressure. I think becoming famous in front of the world is an insane amount of pressure becoming a child. And as you’re growing up, you’re in front of the world that’s not manageable when you’re no one’s designed like that. You’re gonna blow the hardware.”
