AlBorlantern Corps posted:My kid mostly wants to watch DGR and Mario YouTubers like Mayro NicoBBQ, and Ceave doing no coin or low point challenges. Which are pretty ok, no profanity and generally friendly, but Christ DGR's overacting on each Mario Maker death is so annoying and I swear half the time he's dying on purpose to really telegraphed traps. Mine got off on some tangent with two brothers making pancakes of characters, doing some kind of "normal person vs insane person" routine, and every time they'd flip the pancakes over as a reveal, one looked like actual Pikachu or whatever and the other's was all hosed up and he would just scream and scream and scream about it. Thread, you have convinced me. We're just taking the app off the TV tonight.

Get your kids DVDs. A box set of Pokemon or Adventure Time, is going to be only Pokemon or Adventure Time, it's not gonna be an episode of Pokemon, then a weird Pokemon cosplay video, then a flash cartoon of Pikachu getting dissected, then a video where Jordan Peterson DESTROYS feminst!

The moment you give your kids unsupervised internet access you might as well accept they're going to find every kind of hosed up poo poo you can imagine unless they actively avoid it.

I pretty much immediately ran into some hosed up poo poo, but I was for sure better equipped to deal with it than a kid who's half that age.

If you haven't seen it, I thought the movie 8th Grade that came out this year was a really on-point examination of how difficult it can be for kids to deal with that poo poo when they don't even have the context for why it's damaging them.

My parents were actively trying to encourage me to use the Internet when I was 8 in 2000. Like I didn’t really care about using it and they were basically showing me “hey look you can use this for fun things!” Then 9/11 happened, I stumbled upon a Kill Osama flash game through a news website and oh look I guess I’m on Newgrounds now.

I honestly am utterly baffled why youtube didn't go with a whitelist system where channels have to be manually approved to be viewed through youtube kids. There are a metric ton of reliable youtube channels that don't put out poo poo like suicide instructions, and a whitelist-only method cuts out all the exploitative spam stuff that preys on kids using autoplay.

The answer is that manual approval would cost a ton. You'd have to hire a bunch of people and Google is trying to ignore that until AI can screen for them.

We got the internet in like, 96 or so? I was left alone with it immediately at 14 years old, and after about a month my uncle taught my parents (and indirectly me) about browser history. It was a very awkward conversation and I lost access for a couple of months. I also learned how to clear the history then repopulate it with a bunch of common sites so it wasn't empty, and looking back my parents were probably fine with that as a solution.

Nintendo.com was the first website I visited when learning how to use the internet in a public library. Their homepage was an N64 controller and you clicked the buttons to go to different pages.

It's weird how many current parents apparently never touched the Internet at all while they were growing up. I remember being a kid in the 90s and having to sift through pages of scat porn and animal torture pics before finding the Kirby's Dream Land 3 walkthrough I was looking for.

I wonder what age I was when I learned the "correct" way to cut your wrists to successfully commit suicide. Probably somewhere in the 15-18 range. Certainly I read it on a forum someplace. e: I have a sudden fear of people reading this out of context. This all got started with a WaPo report that someone was Tyler Durden-ing directions to cut your wrists into videos that turned up inside the YouTube kids filter.

The moment we got a modern computer and internet, everyone had 56k and C&C right, the first thing I did was try the online in MoHAA. That would be the beginning of the end for me.

Dunno, I have a relative who is more educated and wealthier than me but turned into a conspiracy nut for apparently hanging around YouTube. It was cute enough when he argued about jet fuel not melting steel beams, but then he turned to Holocaust denialism... The internet was probably a mistake.
