Backing you up that kids' entertainment is next-level bad now, especially on Netflix, which seems to have made it their mission to fund & collect as much absolute trash as they can, when it comes to kids' cartoons. And I think people were a bit correct before, that our cartoons decades ago were largely brain-rotting garbage, but it's got nothing on what kids will end up watching if you set them loose on Netflix, now. YouTube rightly gets shit on for what it considers kid-appropriate, but Netflix is terrible, too, in a different way. Wall-to-wall cotton candy for the brain. Weirdly-and-cheaply-CG-animated junk with the laziest imaginable writing. More than one person could ever consume. And the parental controls aren't sufficient to cut all the garbage out, because much of it is intended for young kids. Since streaming services are all terrible as far as letting you control what kids can watch, we've started just manually curating content for our kids. Took them almost no time to adjust to the new options, while if they were presented alongside Netflix, they almost never chose them. They're just as happy, and the average quality of what they watch is far higher.
