Now Netflix just needs to accommodate kid's 3-5 minute attention span, which is reason for YouTube's popularity - along with the quick and easy selection of related content.
Then they could take over, and make parents much happier.
Maybe even happy enough to pay an extra $1.99 a month for trustworthy content curation?

- jimktrains2 9y ago> Now Netflix just needs to accommodate kid's 3-5 minute attention span My 2yro just sat through the Nutcracker the other week. He sits and listens to about half an hour of Dune each night. (We're just about to finish Dune Messiah.) Sure I don't know how much he comprehends, but he's not fidgeting or trying to find toys to play with. He will also sit and build with Duplo-style bricks or wooden trains for hours, and with those there is a visible engagement metrics. (And yes, he does have his moments, and times where he does like to go from thing to thing, but it's not constant just like the long spans of attention aren't constant.) I know it's n=1, but I don't believe that kids have an inherit and maximal 3-5 minute attention span.
