Good parenting in the age of streaming platforms and social media is a frigging minefield. I’m not saying it should be easy, but it has entirely new challenges that didn’t exist for all of humanity before the internet. You can’t even ban your kids from the platforms to solve the problem because schools depend on YouTube for instruction, and work is done on Chromebooks that parents usually have no admin control over.
Again, not saying parents get a free pass, but the challenges are evident.
Tbh I recall watching a kugkrizat video talking about how the Internet is so enshitifiyd due to how we’ve all made a few midea platforms become the Internet town square. I think that is not only making everyone hostile to one another but it’s also made parenting next to impossible on the web. Everywhere that there are people there are some edgy people as well. You can’t really regulate anything without pissing a sizeable amount of the population off.
