Just thought I would share.. while I’m sure almost everyone here is aware YouTube is poison.. a family member got my daughter a kids tablet that is mainly math and reading games, and just other games you can play.. however kids YouTube is an app on this device.. so I clicked on it to see what it had on there.
For the kids YouTube age 9-12 setting, the very first video was explaining genders… the first damn vidoe.
If you look at the ages 5-8 setting it didn’t populate on the main page, but if you searched the word “gender” about 75% of the videos were gender reveal parties, but you better believe the other 25% were explaining genders, the genders of different cultures, names and genders don’t always match..
Anyways, I was disgusted.. and while I assume most here would automatically shut down any form of YouTube, the “kids YouTube” is just another indoctrination tool. This crap should be illegal.
Your kids will be fine! We are winning the information war. People who believe any of this shit are idiots and kids see that.
Eapescially if they have good parenting. Sounds like you have that covered.
By the way, the scooby doo lesbian thing has ruined my favorite cartoon as a kid. It is everywhere!
You are correct. Still infuriating knowing you have to double check everything for kids.
As a father myself, I can tell you it never ends. All these devices and apps and social media options. My son was all in on YT Kids, and has since "graduated" to regular YT. Keep doing what you're doing and monitor the h=ll out of what your daughter is watching/seeing. So much is subliminal too. And it gets worse (more prolific) as they age (my son is almost 12)
One other reco I have from my experience. Don't EVER give the kid headphones with such a tablet device. As annoying as it is sometimes to hear their "show" in the background, at least you can hear the content and step in when necessary. You/Parent/Guardian lose all connection once headphones are on and WHO KNOWS what they're hearing. Same for video game consoles, phones, etc etc.
