People not seeing anything sinister in these infinite loops of "content" are baffling me. These loops, the very loopy quality of those things get burned into infant subconscious, and that's no small deal.

I once watched my nephew, 3 yo, having what I can best describe as a psychotic breakdown, hysterically crying out the same word, 'cartoon', interleaved with convulsive grasping for air, every few seconds for an hour straight, like a machine, when he was deprived of 'cartoons' as a penalty for his 'bad behavior', and nobody, including his mom, my sister, who spinelessly managed to outsource his upbringing to YT, could pull him out of that loop. That was really scary to see.

Imagine YT going instantly offline worldwide, what would happen to all those poor little cartoon burnouts?
