I would have eaten YouTube for breakfast, lunch as dinner as a kid. Self-directed learning is much more fun than literally anything else I’m supposed to be doing.

100%. The educational channels didn’t really pick up until I was an adult, but I think I would have been a better adjusted and probably a more functional student if I had those things at a younger age. (Though the comedy of early YouTube was pretty rad).

Until they pick up content of adults screaming like lunatics about a homebrew horror game after any single thing happens in the game, my kids aren’t gonna watch D+

YouTube kids is such a cancerous place. I’d definitely want my kids to just stick to Disney+

Wait so we’re not all having our kids watch pirated 50-60-70-80-90’s cartoons and tv shows?

Isn’t YouTube also owned by Disney? Lol

YouTube is owned by Google

We haven’t hit that point in capitalism yet.
Won’t be surprised if they go for google or M$ or vice versa. Would be the next natural step in owning everything from the movies to the devices you play them on.

Google is more than 10x larger than Disney, in market cap.

Youtube is imperfect but it’s a sprawling place filled with a vast array of cool stuff made by all kinds of people. I struggle to see this as a bad thing. One company cannot and should not own any market forever. Disney isn’t entitled to being kids’ go-to forever.
