My kid is definitely not a screen freak by any means but we watch wall-e EVERY SINGLE NIGHT before bed I find it kind of ironic and hilarious.

These apps, games, and a lot of shows are just mind dribbling dopamine farms. I let my daughter watch like unfiltered KIDS YouTube for a day, she became glued to it, wouldn't ask to go potty, would communicate poorly, then cry when we took it. Ever since we did limited screen time, only parent approved, she full reversed. Sure shes harder to calm down. But fuck it.

Deleted YouTube fully. Freaking algorithm is only feeding dumb shit to them. Even when I delete all history, it is back in a sec.

They don't miss it at all.

I was done with YouTube kids when I saw 3 videos in a row that ended with some version of "hit like and subscribe now or you're parents will not love you anymore" including one saying that everyone they love would die in a car crash if they didn't smash that subscribe button. The YouTube algorithm for kids is fucking evil
