This is great for creating a media-garden for your children!

Kid content on YouTube and TikTok can be extremly disturbing, even for an adult. Until they turn 16 I intend to vet most media myself on a self-hosted server.

Are you going to use the same methods your parents used to do this for you/

Yes. Before the internet, my parents looked at the PG rating of every movie we rented at Blockbuster. Many parents did.

Would you consider that good?

I grew up with the Internet and people sharing shock horror sites with some very questionable content. It seems we all mostly still grew up fine.

You won't know for another 10-20 years for what you are de-sensitized to.

Also, your experience won't be anyone else's. Assuming so can create challenges.

How do you know it's 10 - 20 years?

I'm not alone though, all the childhood people I grew up with that were exposed to this questionable content seem functioning fine now.

Although I would agree that people and especially children shouldn't use TikTok or addictive things like that, but I'm mainly talking about the content specifically.
