He is the cofounders of the One True King, a collective of streamers and online content makers.

The streamer tweeted his concerns about young people utilizing the social media on October 20, 2022. People under the age of 18 shouldn’t create accounts on any social media platforms, in his opinion, as there is always a chance that they may become the target of bullying and harassment. He asserts that it harms minors psychologically.

How can the benefits of social media outweigh the drawbacks for young people is a conundrum that Asmongold appears to be facing.

Twitter serves as a platform for people to express their opinions. And it appears that everyone has a strong viewpoint on everything that occurs in the world. Fans have both agreed or disagreed with Asmongold’s view that minors shouldn’t create social media accounts.

@PhotonWolfsky tweeted “Should they be able to make accounts? Obviously. There shouldn’t even be a question about that. Should they actually make accounts for their own mental stability and well-being? Probably not, and that extends to adults as well…”

The user continued the thoughts saying “And if it’s a question about mental side effects, then people upto age 24 shouldn’t be making social media accounts because of active brain development..”
