It is a good question. YouTube is a similar phenomenon. Below that would be cable tv. Everything has been hyper optimized for attention/dopamine reward.

There are some folks who seem to only let kids watch old movies and old shows on DVD.

Also most kids are in school in person which may help mitigate the brain rot.

YouTube is another dangerous vehicle for toxic ideology affecting our children. If you’re not careful with censoring the algorithm it is very easy to fall into a self reinforcing loop of disinformation. And even after blocking a bad channel new ones sprout up daily like weeds. Parenting today has become very challenging.
