Ye and Zuckerberg plugs the laptop mic with a dud cable.

I guess most parents try to limit screen time. But some have a hard time doing it since it is a great babysitter.

I try to do a total blockade of YT at home for kids. Watching other kids be hypnothized by the feed years ago was enough. The algorithm seems to converge to unboxing videos and surreal spam.

A lot of parents also drug their kids A LOT to get them to behave the way they want, sleep the way they want. "Kids melatonin", Benadryl, essential oils (plenty of which DO have some drug effect though not often what is claimed)

An iPad addiction is arguably better than being sedated so you don't bother your parents.
