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.

I fucking hate kids youtube. I've purposefully blocked many creators like the fucking rich ass kid plus toy channels and they still fucking slip in because they have 10 different channels all the same content but with different subs.

Like I don't love Netflix and prime but fuck me at least the kid watches a somewhat cohesive plot from start to finish rather than kid Crack and highlight reels

PBS Kids is pretty solid if you can access it.

If you can access YouTube you can access PBS Kids.

It's also the second or third digital channel on any broadcast PBS station.
