Minute Cryptic - 21 October, 2025 (a dog nearly ate my comment. I'm fine, just a little busy today. I got a counterfeit product off Amazon yesterday which I think is a vulnerability of the way they handle third party sellers. Then bought exactly the same product from Sainsbury's for £2.50 more and it wasn't counterfeit. UNO Show Them No Mercy which is a game my youngest nephew had been playing with a childminder and he's quite fond of playing. Basically anything to show him there are better options than watching shit, and I use that word correctly, on YouTube. I think he'll basically be alright because he's got parental and loco parentis supervision most of the time, but he's six. He will rapidly grow out of it. But most of the current batch of people making videos aimed at children would not cause a disruption to the timeline if they ceased to exist. I think like my counterfeit cards and a third party seller YouTube have deferred their responsibility for the content. It's not violent, or breaking any of the rules directly, it's just maximally designed to get the maximum attention and commercial exploitation of small children or the vulnerable. The values it promotes are cargo cult like. One of the better ones, inasmuch as I don't think it'll directly lead to physical harm or psychological injury, is 'Doktor Light' from Stuttgart whose videos are dubbed in English via AI. He watched that yesterday. If you want to get with the zeitgeist. I'd encourage everyone to watch. I'm fairly sure in a year or two my nephew will be bored of such things and watching whatever AI slop has replaced The Sidemen. He is supervised. Many kids will not be. And don't get me started on how bad YouTube shorts are. A kid these days needs critical thinking skils like road safety skills*.)

Except about potential child catchers and general fuckwittery of people with no educational experience or training given free reign to commercially and psychologically exploit children and the vulnerable on YouTube.
