They could. So could Spotify. But in general the big tech products really seem allergic to the problems OP is after.

Anyway I’m a newly minted dad and I’m bookmarking this for a few years out. Congrats! This is brilliant and feels inspired.

Congrats on the new dad status! Enjoy the early years – the Toniebox phase is actually pretty great. Muky will be waiting when they start asking for "that song from the movie" on repeat. ;)

And yes – big tech seems to avoid this space. Maybe too niche, maybe too much liability with kids content. Works for me!
