- zogrodea 2y agoI do see incredibly weird kids content on YouTube sometimes (most likely bot generated?) which makes me think kids have been experiencing a worse internet before the rest of us have.
- rchaud 2y agoKids are far less knowledgeable about how modern software works because they don't know of an Internet that didn't have algorithmic recommendations. They have to be taught to do things like click "Not Interested/Don't recommend channel" to improve their feed. Dark pattern designs make this harder by hiding these options behind tiny 3-dot buttons.
