TikTok and YouTube shorts are brain-rotting garbage, and if you use them regularly you need to stop now. Yes, even if you claim you only watch educational stuff.

Also giving a child under the age of 8 or 9 a personal internet-connected device should be seen on a similar level as neglect if not full-on abuse.

    I agree with the latter point but your first point is the only one I found myself questioning in this thread. If we were just going on feelings I would agree with you, but I'm not so sure if it's actually a given, especially if we take out children as the variable as they are really susceptible to it. It can be addictive for sure, but is it brain rotting? I would like to see a study.

    Many of penguinz0’s videos on YouTube are anecdotal case studies of the “brain rot” brought on by tik tok and by other “jangling keys” media like YouTube shorts.
