Could you have caked on more hyperbole? Yes, let's just let kids search the Internet and see what they come up with.
- salvar 8y agoI wouldn't call it hyperbole at all once you learn about Elsagate.
- mxfh 8y agoDoesn't need to be elsagate level, stuff get's questionable to abusive (think unregulated child labor and unnessary emotional stress) really fast. It's worrysome on both producer and viewer side at pre-teen ages especially. Parenting against a hyper-engineered viewer retention (recommendation is an euphemism at this point) engine is a lost cause to begin with. Tried supervised youtube with my 3 year old for a while and it's always going places you would never expect, and not in a good way. Even for quality content, just look what wildbrain or DHX Media?, did in terms of ad-count, to "Yo Gabba Gabba" recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YN8bUHufPk&list=PLc7QkGFtZUZ73cexJsrEzjXkiKxv5qi_N https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YN8bUHufPk&list=PLc7QkGFtZU... I count up 20 partly animated ad overlays plus a preroll in just 20m, who is willing to monitor that as a parent? The core of the problem I have with the whole thing, is that YouTube prays on the weakest of the weakest, not even me. It's children of parents that simply can't afford daycare and video subscription services, that I worry about the most.
