Being purely optimistic, I'd say that it's great that kids are taking interest in politics.

However, like you said, the money making focus could take priority over true opinions. And on top of everything, this is taking place on a platform where the platform is in full control of who sees what.

Far from the ideal of soapboxes in the town square, but I guess that's just today's world.
