Or any other short-form videos. Or any AI slop. The only foundational principle for picking activities for a child should be “how is this good for the child?” No other consideration should be in play.

Adults shouldn’t be watching AI slop either. There are tons of great books, wonderful music, intelligent podcasts. There’s no need to consume garbage.
