Pr*************:

5:00
FINALLY, someone has put that emotion into WORDS. That unsettling feeling in your gut when you just have no idea what kind of freaky subliminal messages could be worming their way into your head though such strange content...

Ma**************:

10:06-Imagine if you were taking a stroll along the beach one day, maybe walking your dog or hanging out with you friends, and you just saw that
And completely out of context. A man dressed as a cone head burying someone in a Spider-Man costume.

He********:

5:13 how tf Hitler is child friendly content

ge*********:

5:16 look at the bottom right. See anyone familiar? And it says "for children". Dear god.

KR**************************:

5:20 If you look closely at the bottom right side, that is actually a leaked video of the test animation for toy story, but the executives decided that it might not sell well. So they completely rewrote the script to include woody and buzz.







Pixar's dumbest decision to date.

Na**:

5:33 finger family with

Bi*********:

I feel so lucky that I had been a toddler before the rise of the internet.

Ha*********:

I’m extremely happy that I didn’t have the chance to watch this as a child.

WU********:

THANK YOU! FINALLY, SOMEONE WITH WHO CAN INFLUENCE YOUTUBE SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!!!

To*********:

I’m so glad I grew up with The Wiggles, Mr Rogers, and Thomas the Tank Engine and not these internet videos.

Ai***********:

I noticed in the background a mod for gta san andreas with the "you picked the wrong house fool" part as teletubbies

















that was probably made as a joke

Ji*******:

I can’t believe there’s a ted talk about this side of YouTube

Br***:

A good alternative is getting a portable DVD player and just buying movies and series and playing them that way. No ads, no trash, and everything is content checked by parents.

De**********:

Once a wise man said "Can you imagine giving your 3 year old child a pack of cigarettes, a can of beer or drugs like cocaine? But you are doing worse by giving them a smartphone"

Dr********:

When a kid learns English earlier than their mother tongue, you know something is wrong.

Remember when a child has a fist and is like, “Where’s daddy finger?”
Middle finger flies up
“There’s daddy finger!”

watching this with a 2 year old on youtube:

ironic

le*******:

so one time when i came home from school, my aunt brought over my cousin, a 6 year old, her name was hermione. my aunt was gonna go on an errand, she asked me to look after her- i was trying to get her to watch harry potter and the philosophers stone (( cause her name is hermione lol )) she insisted she watch this video called "spider man and elsa kissing" aaaand uhm.. i was weirded out.

Em********:

I remember when I was a few years younger than I am today, I would see these kinds of videos on you tube A LOT. I would click on them, just out of curiosity. When I started watching it, something just felt... off about the whole thing. I couldn't put a finger on it, so I watched a few more videos. After a while, it hit me that these videos didn't really seem... human... I saw my younger sibling watching the same videos, and I told them to stop watching it, for their own safety. They looked at me with a sad and angered expression and said, "Why? It's not inappropriate, it's okay for me to watch." I peeked over their head to see what the video was, and I got the same creepy feeling.
After a few months or so, the videos were getting more and more popular. My younger sibling was still watching them, even though I told them not to. Later that night, they asked me to come upstairs with them. I asked why, they had gone upstairs plenty times before, so this puzzled me. They replied... "I'm scared." I didn't understand, they weren't afraid of the dark, so what were they afraid of? I asked them, and they replied, "Thomas is up there." I asked them, "Who's Thomas?" I started to get worried, was there someone upstairs? Did someone break in? Their reply shook me.
"Thomas the Train." Apparently, there were creepy videos of Thomas the Train floating around YouTube, and they scared them. I told him to get over it, and just go upstairs and get ready for bed. They whined and cried, as if this was a real phobia. I walked them upstairs so they would be quiet and I wouldn't get in trouble with my parents. This fear went on *forever*, and I eventually managed to get them over their fear of Thomas the Train. When they were VERY young, Thomas the Tank Engine was their favorite TV show, so it is understandable why they clicked on the videos in the first place. I truly hope no more children have to go through such traumatizing things. It hurts my heart that such things even exist. I hope since that time those videos (or at least some of them) have been taken down. Thank you for reading this.
Sincerely,
Emily Marsh



Side note, I used 'their, they, and them' because I did not feel safe giving away the gender of my little sibling, just in case you were wondering

Ye**********:

My mom didn't buy me a phone till I was nine years old and before I got it I never used a phone or a computer or stuff like that.

I used to be upset because of it because all of my friends had phones and stuff and I was the only kid that didn't have anything like that, but when I saw how my friends started spending all of their time on their phones and started talking about some nonsense that they saw onthe internet I was kinda grateful

And so when I got my phone I actually didn't really use YouTube because I didn't understand English and the videos that are in my native(?) language were so cringey, even for a nine year old

And then I became better at English and I started to understand the things people on YouTube were talking about so it became ok


I think that other parents should do the way my mom did, because my dad ( my parents are divorced ) has a child and he almost immidiately gave them a phone and now they're addicted to it.
Whenever my other sibling and I try to talk to my younger sibling they're Always on their phone even tho they're 1-5 years old

And when my dad tried to take the phone away from my younger sibling, they started practically sobbing, so my dad gave the phone back to them

I think that's pretty stupid, you know?

Sh*************:

"Even if you're a human, you have to behave like a machine to survive."
This has never been more true, but it isn't new. Manual labour has been around since society started to form, and the industrial revolution has not only made this more mundane for the workers, especially those in factories, it's given big businesses more opportunities to underpay this manual labour, keeping these people trapped in these situations. It's so sad that every time there's a spike in technology, and oppurtununity for change and growth as a species, people see it as more clever ways of doing the same thing we've always been doing.
