papawheelyThe reason I think those types of videos are toxic is because it feeds into instant gratification (good in small doses, bad in large). There’s no time for the story or characters to develop, there’s not even time for a life lesson. It’s just plot point to plot point to plot point. Even Dora has life lessons in it lmao this is just a story for the sake of being a story. Completely pointless for a child’s development imo you could show them 1000000000 other stories with actual meaning and lessons to take away from it lol
YouTube is amazing overall though, I’m totally on that boat too. I’ve been on an insane video essays about Lost kick lately.
I just wish content creators that advertise to kids had even a little more self awareness.Sounds like you need to make your own channel

You seem very well educated and like you have a genuine concern for what’s going on, seems pretty rare these days. Salute.
What do you think the root cause of all of this is? Is it just how easily accessible all of this content is or is it something like lack of religion in households? I don’t remember s*** being such a problem when I was a kid but then again, I was a kid lol
This wasn’t a problem when we were kids because the FCC and other standards based companies were regulating what we saw on TV. There’s rules that say TV made for children must have a life lesson/something to take away from the story at the end of it. South Park does a great job so parodying this rule set with their speeches at the end of episodes.
YouTube just has a loose TOS that covers legality but not morality. I watched DBZ and cartoons religiously as a kid and still had a moral compass at the end of the day because they were pushing the ideas of bonds and friendships and love and etc
YouTubers are just meme drips that want to get your kids to click on their low effort output for their own gain. Which TV execs were totally the same, but there were systems in place to help the transition from the greedy b****** that greenlit the show to your children’s TV.

Will read but bruh watch this if you’ve got the time
The ad break is kind of hilarious and beyond ironic but the actual content of this video is highly alarming, what the actual f***

I watched it and that end about the CocoFelons got such an ugly laugh out of me lmao
But what they’re saying also plays into what I was saying about the video I posted. It’s overstimulating nonsense that doesn’t give a child’s brain time to properly process it, and keeps them glued to the screen.

I usually share this with any parents I know. One of which actually (who let their kid constantly watch youtube unsupervised) blocked me after telling me not to tell them how to raise their kid. But yeah at the end of the day if you let your kid use these video sites that work based on algorithms before they have developed their brain and understanding enough to process what is going on you are playing with some serious fire in regards to their future mental health.

CRACKASTEPPAVEGANWhat was Elsagate again?
Children make youtube creators a lot of money, and the market at the time (2016-2017ish) was unregulated for childrens content.
There were some absolutely f***ed videos going around of popular childrens character (Elsa from frozen hence the name) doing wild s*** that was marketed to kids because of the title/tags/thumbnail. It made them a lot of money, because kids, but is obviously demonic so YT got fined 140 million dollars or so for breaking regulation and went sorta scorched earth

i definitely think it’s a bad thing that we’re increasingly isolated from one another and raised on media but idk i feel like being raised on tv like most of us were isnt any better
I think a lot has changed between the TV era and now
Cant carry a Tv in your pocket, the Tv sets the schedule and youre either there to watch it or have it DVR’d, the in person community aspect of it (like chattin with the homies about a south park episode or some s***)
Def a lot that is in the same sphere, but way way WAY more potent and insidious imo

Youtube made it okay to pull your phone out and record someone at the slightest provocation tho
Singlehandedly destroyed privacy in public spaces
"privacy in public spaces"
sorry this jus sounds funny to me

Yea i was tryna make it make sense out loud. Basically like going out and knowing that if I do something mildly embarrassing I wont have a camera go up and record it.
Every fight, altercation, mishap, birth, death, gender reveal, bla bla its all up there and most of it is mundane s***

MoonchaserTikTok did way worse
YouTube made a generation of depressed kids but TikTok is making a generation of psychopaths
Internet been raising psychopaths for years all the way to 00s /b/ and Newgrounds days
There was a bunch of “KILL OSAMA” or whatever hated celebrity there was flash games dedicated to shooting and killing them 
Oct 2, 2022Interested to see how some of y'all will actually parent as opposed to how you think you're going to parent rn with no kids.
Nayuta 🧴Oct 2, 2022Just sounds like bad parenting to me op
Thing about people saying a generation is ruined though is it's typically the elder generation making such statements and they're the ones that raised that generation. So if they failed it's because of your own generation lol.
Oct 2, 2022maybe i grew up in the right era of youtube, when i was in elementary school i was watching stuff like this, not whatever tf youtube kids is nowadays lmao
