Own view:
This does show the negativity of the internet. Now days there have been so many things that have been viral, such as 'saltbae memes, shooting star memes and cash me outside memes. Although funny, it makes people especially parents/adults how stupid the internet can be, and worried for how much people spend making such content. They believe that the internet is being abused by such content, however the article isn't showing the negativity of the internet. It shows, how the internet has been the prime influence towards contributing to new popular culture and keeping it updated.
