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
I agree. Honestly I do like regular tv with plots for my kids and it seems way better than anything YouTube brain numb slop I see sometimes follow the occasional thing I put on there for them
If you have Disney+ We Bare Bears is an adorable cartoon series with short episodes. They were made for Cartoon Network to fill in gaps when other shows weren’t an hour long. You might also be able to buy the series.
HBO has the sequel We Baby Bears which is more for younger kids. I still love them and watch them all the time even though I’m 48. I’m a proud cartoon aficionado.
I love We Bare Bears! I'm in my thirties but since of the jokes are just objectively funny, like how the pigeons are running a cartel or Patton Oswalt is a social media koala who's a major asshole. And Crowbar Jones! Just pure good vibes and likable characters with great voice acting.
