I thought that I appreciated how bad the recent YouTube toddler videos were, but a few days spent with young children over Christmas has taught me that I (someone who watched large amounts of video content) had *absolutely no clue* how dire it was. You’re also completely right re. the fact that young children HAVE to develop certain skills at certain ages or else will be unable to for life. A few years ago this was an issue with continence - now learning. Great article
I couldn't believe my eyes when I encountered some of that stuff for the first time. It's also disturbing how many adult creators make YouTube content for these children (babbling in barely-formed sentences) by 'reacting' to the AI-generated cartoons. Hellish
