This doesn't align with general discourse, but Social Media companies aren't alone to blame. Their algo is simple show people what they are watching and engaging with. So, if you are into deeply learning about AI/ML and LLMs you'll get tons of videos on that. On TikTok if you watch Hispanic girls in short skirts, it will show you more of that. It isn't hugely different from other media; Fox will show you right leaning content and some other left. The two main differences are quantity of content/metrics available allowing for individual level personalization and phone/iPad being in every hand 24/7. So, while commonly assumed the solution to force Social Media companies to show diverse and boring content. But most successful will be to simply reduce the time spent on these sites/apps. 5 yo don't need own iPad and 10 yo don't need a smartphone. I don't see why anyone younger than 14-16 need phone/computer in school. Books are cheaper than ever; Parks and Skate parks are still there and so are swimming pools. Cooking pizza/burger with kids should still be fun. If parents are not ready to do parenting, one option is do China have hard limits in devices/accounts on time a child can spend online but that won't work in USA and Western sensibilities.
