Yes. Reading a story to a child is an inherently moderated experience. If the child gets scared, you can stop reading. You can also filter out inappropriate content in real time—some of the Andrew Lang fairy tale collections for example have racist language and anti-Semitic content. Reading is active while watching video is passive. You have to work your way through a text, instead of mindlessly letting a weird video play on to see what's next. Reading requires more motivation and interest in the material. Lastly, the main issue the author identifies is how cheaply-produced and algorithmically-generated video content will necessarily generate weird and disturbing content in a way that doesn't occur with authored books. The author is most disturbed by videos that are not human-led, or where machines are splicing together human-led content with parodies and gross-out videos.
