I'll go out on a limb here and say that you don't have kids. Aside from your obsession with careers and "ROI" and such, which are simply disturbing, you obviously have no idea that the modern entertainment industry has nothing to do with what you grew up with. The amount of heavily addictive shit and outright gambling targeted at kids is simply astonishing, and makes me wonder how people programming this stuff can sleep at night. And this might blow your mind, but kids are different. Some can cope with this stuff, but many cannot. Good luck giving your kids access to Youtube thinking they'll watch Numberphile and 3blue1brown all day. Guess what: parental controls in Youtube are a joke, because Google has zero interest in kids not watching crap for hours and targeting ads at them. And it's the same with every other platform. Spotify has tons of "ASMR porn", hours of TikTok "meme videos" disguised as music videos, right-wing podcast bullshit, and all you can do is enable an "explicit content" filter because god-forbid the kid might hear the F-word in a song. All these terrible free-to-play mobile games have loot boxes or wheel of fortunes or other crap that constantly pressure kids to buy some monopoly money so they can win some stupid skin so they don't get bullied in the chat. Once you have your kid crying because of this shit, maybe you will second-guess if that is the ROI you had in mind.
