Same.
I'm going to sound like an old-man-yelling-at-cloud, but the content is, well, just mindless drivel. There's a near-endless amount of informative content on youtube, but no, instead kids are drawn like a magnet to this kind of stuff. Not saying kids must spend all their screen time on Khan Academy or serious documentaries, but watching this drivel for hours on end can't be healthy for a developing brain either.
- mid-kid 3y agoFrom an adult perspective, I'd agree, but on the other hand I've spent hours upon hours of my childhood watching fail compilations and random video game parodies and newgrounds animations on youtube. I'd say it's a "let kids be kids" kind of deal, even if I faint at the amount of money that goes into youtube video production these days.
