I though that Cocomelon videos are just dumb videos to keep children distracted, but I didn’t know that they are purposefully designed to keep children hooked. What’s your stance on their videos?

These are the two I’ve watched. We have no paid streaming services. Couldn’t agree more about both of those points you made. 👍
We also get Paw Patrol, and the kids love it. Or at least used to. What specifically makes you actively avoid it?
I’m fully aware that I sound like a snob when I say this, but the world building in Paw Patrol seems like a mess. And sure, I get that people get bored of the same rescue plots over and over, so they had to introduce a villain (Mayor Humdinger and all his cat allies trying to cause trouble), and then some kind of supernatural meteor that gives the dogs super powers, and then some mermaid dog society in the mix. Like, pick a lane: is this show about first responders or superheroes or mermaid dogs? And what should I make of the fact that cats are inherently villainous, unless they can talk, at which point they’re good guys?
Just seemed like it’s sloppy world building and I don’t like it, so I don’t need my kids watching it, either. Not a particularly good reason, but my kids aren’t really clamoring for it.
😂 I’ll take it!
