The nature of it is different. You watched whatever was on a limited number of channels which you had to flip through to figure out what was being offered.

They are presented with 400 thumbnails of shows available anytime and all the time.

It's because they themselves spend their entire lives on screens so they "make up for it" by restricting their kids.

Because kids who stare at screens all day often have trouble concentrating at school, making friends, and sleeping through the night.

prolonged screen time is actually a symptom of neurodivergence

In this study, children <40 months of age showed different trajectories of daily screen time over time. Additionally, ASD-PRS was associated with medium and long screen time during the observation period. This raises the possibility that long screen time is not a cause of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but rather an early symptom that ASD individuals are more attracted to objects than to people.

its called brainrot for a reason

dexters lab or whatever is basically war and peace compared to the slop kids watch on youtube shorts/tiktok. it really is lowest common denominator (now largely ai generated) garbage. everything is designed for maximum attention grabbing

more importantly it's a sea of infinite distraction. for the vast majority of kids there was only so much TV you can watch before you get bored, but you can toss a tablet at a kid anywhere at any time and they will find a way to occupy themselves.

They still will. We're XO posters because that is our nature. These kids are our kids so they will still be weirdo aspies. Or if they're not it won't be because of screens or lack thereof.

You actually had to follow the plot for the cartoons we watched.

Batman: The Animated Series;

Power Rangers;

Power Puff Girls

Each show was 22 minutes broken up over commercial breaks with a cogent plot kids had to use their brains to follow.

The shit on YouTube now is just non-stop brainrot. You literally could sit for 24 hours and never watch the same episode twice.

Does anybody know what country NASTYA is from?

If you have kids then it is obvious how it is rapidly addictive and changes their preferences, and it is also passive. When they are playing with blocks or whatever they are talking to themselves, making up stories, running around etc.
