    I never wanted TikTok for this reason, and I remember the damage YouTube did to my brother, despite my warnings.

    He was happily watching Tree Happy Friends as a toddler.

        I enjoyed happy tree friends as a kid and it didn’t effect me negatively. Different strokes for different folks I guess. It’s like arguing that GTA makes kids violent.

          It was sort of funny, but it only had one punchline and wore out quickly for me. Shock humor has a really low retention rate. Compare that to say, Rejected or the parody GI Joe PSAs, they’re really not great and a wonder why Youtube hired them to make their old copyright volition training videos.
