    I see this as a parenting failure, honestly. You’re not supposed to just let your kid watch whatever without supervision IMHO. If you can’t control what your kids watch, don’t give them iPads!

      Supervision? All the time? Found the guy without kids.

      Sure sure, you make a point. But kids are 24 god damn 7 and occasionally I need to do things like chores and cooking. They get tablets so I can survive. I did remove YouTube, but their school didn’t.

        When I have kids I will allow them to go on the Internet, but I will teach them about where to find good content and stuff like that.

        They will ultimately have to learn how to do this anyway, so its better to teach them early.

        And I dont want to completely block their internet access because their classmates will have it too and it sucks to be the only one who doesnt, you just dont fit in quite as well and arent able to talk about stuff from the internet if you dont know anything about it. (I am speaking from experience)

      They still have weird shit like that all over kids youtube. I forbade it in my house after seeing a video of a kid literally shooting their mom in the face. Before I was just blocking entire channels but after that… yeah no youtube kids in my house.

        Don’t have any of that; except that youtube keeps showing me colorfull gambling ads in the style of a farmville game… before and between kids videos.

        (this happens when playing youtube via chromecast on the lounge TV; i have adblockers on my computers)

    Tsk.

    Back when I was a kid, we watched hand crafted brain melting videos… On liveleak!

        This triggered me hard. More than 2 decades later I still remember that guy that did not wear a (full face) helmet…
