• Yeah, if they’re old enough to put together a YouTube video then they can likely read. I’ve talked with some parents and their kids who’ve been approached like this. Maybe they target the accounts that are gibberish and watch till they develop language skills. Beyond fucked up predation.

      It’s a moral duty for all parents to learn how to pirate movies and TV shows and only allow their children to watch Spongebob, Arthur, Blues Clues, etc. with no ads, no comment sections, no screaming youtubers telling them to buy their tshirts

        One of the good things about state owned broadcasting. Here in Norway they have three separate channels and one of them runs stuff for kids from the early morning till seven at night with zero ads. And everything is available for streaming free of charge on their ad-free website as well.
