What people who fall into the media stream constantly do is become influenced by subtle social cues and sometimes these are major that happen right in front of peoples faces. With the internet, even though there’s a constant stream and some down sides, this actually helps combat a lot of other potential negatives.
As for some actual damage, certain horror movies and things that are torture based or too realistic are bad for young minds and even some adult minds. Adults are just not immediately as aware.
Kids shows and game shows are fun though. Movies that increase adrenaline are usually addictive and more influential to people. Not for the better. Fantasy shows have that element without being too serious.
YouTube should be pretty off limits for kids. Too much attention span damage.
Salutations,
The television is not so popular anymore for youngs and kids I think. They watch YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. TikTok and Instagram are bullshits, they fuck the dopamine system of brain. YouTube is innocent, but if you believe it is innocent ;D ;D
YouTube has a lot of contents. If you use YouTube for information, you can find a lot of good contents. But young people or kids can't select good videos, they click to what they found. Due to that, YouTube is more dangerous than television. In television, they can open up a kid show/cartoon so forth, but in YouTube they can find a lot of idiotic contents.
YouTube puts +18 for negative videos like sexuality, torture so forth. Sometimes they block the video, but unblocked videos are negative enough for kids. I can send you torturing video from YouTube, because it is available still. Putting +18 can't be a solution for kids. They always click what they wonder, if they wonder they can show themselves bigger than 18.
That's it. These are very dangerous for kids and youngs. Until they enter to puberty, they mustn't use it.
Have a nice day to you.
Yeah. I KNOW the youngins are into that. LOL. Very aware. All I ever hear from the boys is “YouTube this, YouTube that” “hey momma guess what.. like and subscribe to my (pretend) channel” :lol:
YouTube Kids app even epically fails at keeping the weird shit off of there though. Kids and teens also love to eat garbage and candy and do a million other things.
We can only do our best but it’s best to put limitations and educate them on why. And not let it be a replacement for their actual parents or let them be attention deprived or rot in a room all day. Because they would if you let them. Aside from the addictive aspect, I’m always listening when there is free scroll.
My little dude has been finding yo-yo channels, skateboard channels, music channels and has begun learning the glory of self-teaching. I think it does provide opportunities to learn an insane amount. I don’t think parents can keep up with it :lol:
They’re actually teaching pre-algebra to 1st and 2nd graders now too. It seems like they’re too young to be this smart and they grow up really fast.
So I think I’ve just been bitter about feeling like they think it’s more important or something. But the day comes when all of the sudden they’re better than you could ever even be.
I just actually wish Pythia was here so we could talk about it and relate on something like that. She had kids.
My friends are about to have babies though so that works just fine. I’m gonna be a new auntie in the next few days. I’m so excited/relieved.
Are you a parent?
