And it's stupid to get moral panicked about. People are 99% nature, 1% nurture. We evolved to survive worse than witnessing pregnant Spider Man.

People are absolutely NOT 99% nature. People are born with some predisposition to certain behaviors, but that is far from being set in stone. Good, attentive parenting is the difference maker.

  I think you'll find studies disagree with you. There's not much you can do apart from providing a decent baseline and getting lucky. Which, on the one hand, is profoundly relaxing; on the other, it's pretty depressing and scary.

    Social science “studies” are almost all complete garbage. Non reproducible and disproven constantly. Social scientists are LARPing as actual scientists. There is no rigor. Most people in the hard sciences have little regard or respect for their work. Arguing that parents play little/no role in the development of children is peak academic nonsense. Studies like what you’re citing only give comfort to the parents who would rather live life looking at their phones than parent their children.

This isn’t just merely witnessing something, a better take would be ‘have we evolved to be be raised by videos of pregnant spooderman.’ I think that’s a negative, ghost rider.

When you consider that children already watch trash on youtube, then yes I agree that there is no reason to get worried about anything. But the entire concept of letting your children watch trash on youtube is worrying. Not having children myself it's easy for me to say that everything on the internet should be treated as if it was 18+ and therefore children don't belong on the internet. Period. Especially not on their own. There are exceptions of course like websites that are highly geared towards the education of children but youtube (kids) in it's majority is not that.
