TBF content is generally better than it was 15 years ago even for babies. I don't blame em...

  The quality of the content is not the issue here.

  It's better at holding their attention, but is it actually better? My impression was that a lot of the content was effectively "attention slop", bright colors and noises, often with very little sense to them, or just variations of the same rhymes a 90's baby would've been raised on. A lot of it seemed to cross over from just being stimulating to being overstimulating.

    > It's better at holding their attention, but is it actually better? As Weller said, that's entertainment. Saying something's slop is like saying it's trash, ie something you don't like.

      I'd like to believe that people have a bit more in mind for children's entertainment than just overstimulating their developing visual and auditory cortices for 8 hours a day.

        > overstimulating pure speculation, and dare I say, hysteria

      Yeah? Then heroin is also ice cream.
