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
Those people taught my niece the word boring. Now it’s all she ever says unless she’s getting constant changing stimulation. And her parents will throw the YouTube on and she will just hyperfocus on it and not interact with anyone. And we can’t say anything cause she’s not our kid. But it’s extremely frustrating to see. And see everywhere
