who could have known dumping a toddler in'front of skitzo youtube slop for several hours a day could be damaging, one of the unsolvable mystery's of parenting
Yep. I became a single dad at 18 and nearly fell into the trap of sticking your kid in front of the tv to keep them entertained. I’m so glad I’m young and aware of these type of things otherwise I could’ve ruined my sons life alongside all the other parents who feel into the trap. If I have to put the TV on while I clean/cook (which is rare now that I have a new partner) it’s either bluey or an old cartoon I used to watch like yugioh/pokemon. It’s tough being a single parent and I understand how people end up choosing the easy option but it is horrendous for your children
Cocomelon is a symptom of bad parenting. Blaming a youtube video and not the person who puts it on is absurd. Parenting isn't easy and it's not supposed to be.
I remember when during the 7th grade summer break I went away for two weeks and didn't watch any TV until I got back. When I was leaving Goku started a fight with Frieza. Two weeks later the fight was still going on 😂
@freeroamer6962 they kept getting to Goku arriving on Namek and then it would go back to the first episode. I'm not sure how many times it happened but it seemed like more than a year
Nono the toddler is a cyber security specialist, and can break through any encryption they put on to their PC, and can even hack into it via an IOT exploit in their baby monitor. THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING!!!
I can see how this can easily target the single parent household and their vulnerability. Back in the day, the mom would tell the kid no, and if the kid still defied the mom by the time the dad came home or lost his patience, the dad would just take the ipad outside and run it over with his car, because "listening to mom is the most important thing." And the dad wouldn't give af if the kid hated him for it that day and ran to mom for console. It's the parent's tag team strategies that are so important for child development.
@@juodagalvesniegena714 Yeah, the issue starts and ends with the parents it seems. If there's one thing you need before having a kid, patience is a good one.
Idk why we're all pretending Pewdiepie didn't do similar shit in the beginning of his popularity. Sure, now he's a wholesome father that does good critical thinking like content every now and then, but he 100% used to be like Coco just targeted towards 8-15 year olds instead of toddlers and babies.
i used to agree with this in the past but with todays economy when both parents work long hours and they are so tired to even raise the children properly full time this should also be added as a factor
This stuff used to be so heavily regulated. I remember at one point, becoming a children's book author was considered one of the most difficult careers to pursue with major success being obtained by less than 1% of professionals.
I would also say eating crayons and drinking lead based paint but I might be confusing that with grappler mains in fighting games. The red ones taste the best.
Parents, get your kids OFF THE INTERNET. One clip said “switched to Ms. Rachel.” That’s not better fam. Especially if they’re younger than 3. Get them off screens and especially off TH-cam.
Yeah no.. there's something about live action mixed with puppets and animation that really makes my skin crawl. Even Blippi is unsettling to me even though its my youngest's favorite right now. Don't know why it just is.
My 6 year old daughter used to watch a little of this. She is sweet, does what she's asked, and has the best grades in her class. But some of her classmates can barely write their own name. People are mad that these shows do a poor job raising their children, when the shows are just a very small part of a kid's time if you are doing your job as a parent. The curriculum for her class is embarrassing. They are doing stuff in first grade that mine was doing before kindergarten because I just worked with her a little. And I'm not genius or super parent. She's my only kid, therefore my only experience raising one, and I dropped out of high school. All it takes is a little time and effort.
Downloadable drugs.. in reminded of how many kids Ritilan destroyed. So yeah i guess this IS consistent with their previous behavior.. just way more blatant. What i don't get is why ppl will be all for baning 'harmful content ' like free speech that offends but yet don't react with "HOW IS THIS EVEN LEGAL?" When confronted with something that permanently alters the way a baby humans brain works. If this was the 90s - of be like advocating for pregnant women to do drugs.. or fed tiger 2yo ritilan etc
Your exactly right. Sounds like your doing a great job. She will always be ahead, if you keep it up. My son and daughter were allowed to watch anything I watched myself and deemed acceptable in moderation. And it is wicked how fast they can learn from some of these shows. (Not necessarily this one, though this one is great for getting your kids to use their voice) Just remember these people out here making videos on children when they have none have ZERO clue.
Parents think that all the education their kids need is gained solely through dropping them off at school for part of each year. The rest of the time they hand them a tablet so they can be unbothered while satiating their own phone addiction or whatever else they have to do
My 4 year old daughter used to watch this, there were times when she really liked it. I gave her a cheap mini tablet to give her access to watch youtube kids where she can choose what shows she wants to watch but I still control her tablet usage through the Family Link app. Maybe why she watches Cocomelon less and less because there are many other shows that are more interesting for her. Plus the Cocomelon songs are too repetitive, maybe it makes my daughter get bored quickly because she already knows the words mentioned in the song.
As cruel as this sounds, I've noticed a really disturbing trend where it feels like parents don't actually love their kids more than they would love a pet and they treat them that way
Steven Seagal also sits down a similar percentage of his more recent movies' runtime (including the "action" scenes), as these kids (probably even the ones with attention deficit disorders) are fixated on the screen when this slop is running... 😂
You know it’s fu*ked up when even ThatVeganTeacher called out Coco Melon….even though she had her own agenda and sh*t, it’s hilarious to think about the fact that she was right for once. 💀
@@BilabaLabiba What’s cringe is someone with an anime pfp of a child -ignorant of- unaware of TH-cam’s sensible nature and absurd policies and blaming it on others. Insane.
This is a classic case of lazy parenting. If you're sitting your kid in front of the TV 6+ hours a day and expecting them to learn everything that way, you're a dumb parent who will have dumb kids.
Coming from a parent of a 2 year old, TV is a distraction, but we let ours watch actual educational stuff for a decent chunk of the day and hes actually really smart for his age. the difference is us being there with him while he watches and helping him learn. cocomelon is just songs and distractions to keep them in a trance. its honestly scary when you watch your kid watch cocomelon, its like theres nothing in their head. ours watches miss rachel (comparable view count to cocomelon) mostly and she teaches words, letter sounds, counting, sign language... at 2 years old he knows his whole alphabet vocally and in sign language, and can count to 20, among knowing hundreds of words. All this to say, cocomelon is NOT educational, and coming from a parent, DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS WATCH THIS SHOW. That said, he is very capable and frequently does play with toys on his own, color, paint, etc with no tv. So many parents just shove a tv or phone in their kids face and go do their own thing.
As a parent with kids who only let them watch about an hour of TV a day, they still got addicted to this and we had to switch to elmo and bluey. "Bad parenting" is only a small part of the issue here.
My parents let me play video games as much as I wanted as long as I did my chores and kept my grades up and if I didn't they took them away so I became a star student in AP classes purely so my games wouldn't be convescated. Sure media can be addicting but good and active parenting can be the difference between your kid getting brainrot
@@tatemessmer4936 You identified something was becoming a problem and made a switch...right, that's called being a good parent. How does your comment refute the main issue being bad parenting?
Or also social media as well, when even according to New Zealand and Australia scientists rate Snapchat best for communicating with friends and family than even the family of META....
there's a degree of skill issue for the parents for sure, but for many parents it's their first time ever doing it so they have no idea what to do exactly, all the new parents know is that every teacher for childcare classes they go to are telling them that things like cocomelon are okay so these parents are trusting it. Yes bad parents but also yes bad show that's exploiting impressionable minds
If you can't trust Disney anymore, why would you be able to trust freaking youtube? This is insanity. We're in a new age where parents have to put in a lot of extra work to raise a kid, there is no assistance.
My daughter watched Cocomelon for a week or two and I immediately noticed an attitude change. Switched to less tv and a different show/ movies and attitude was instantly better and she was no longer hypnotized by the TV. PSA: Moderation is the key, and 100% of you watched tv at a young age. The difference is Cocomelon is literally a designed show to rot the brains of young children.
Ngl if I have a kid they are learning how I learned which is by going outside after they can reasonably walk / talk on their own and pointing out things to him/her explaining what they are and asking them to repeat the name
YES FR ppl here literally let them without any care on their phones watching this and its bad man mothers arent involved in the toddler education they dont care abt their speech and question later why their kid can learn their abc
I had a toddler cousin who would come and stay at my house when I was a teen, I was about maybe 14-16. There were many times I had to take care of them and do things like feed them. But they refused to eat at all and just whined and complained. I managed to get it done but noticed a significant switch up the moment I turned on Cocomelon - as I was told to do by my aunt. That child was known to throw tantrums all the dam time which is precisely why I never liked taking care of him, so I was pretty amazed/freaked out by how silent he became just sitting in front of the TV watching Cocomelon. And, as a teen who didn’t understand the detriment, I would always play Cocomelon to shut the kid up so I wouldn’t have to deal with him. Kinda feel bad now but at the same time not really, it was a parenting issue on that part.
Same thing happened with my cousin. But I think this whole internet thing is having the opposite effect on my cousin these days. He prefers the outdoors to the TV nowadays. He still watches it, but it's always the second option compared to playtime date in the park. Of course, his mum makes sure to limit his screen time, maybe that's why he loves the outdoors. The same can't be said for the iPad kids though. Limited screentime is the solution to the cocomelon dilemma, but iPad babysitters are awful at managing the kid's screentime.
Every Y Gen parent should be forced to watch that movie and do an essay on how bad they are at being a parent and an action plan to fix it and be court ordered to do so now!
I was diagnosed with adhd back in the 90's when I was a kid. As a teenager I noticed how certian shows affected me while watching kids cartoons with my little cousins. I made a big point of it when I became a parent, I watched every cartoon with my son or would watch a few episodes before my son would watch it and if it turned me into a zombie I wouldn't allow my son to watch it. Even in my 30's some kids cartoons these days it almost feels like it's physically grabbing my attention and turning my brain off to the surrounding world.
The real problem is that it is also addicting to the parents. If the child is bothering them for attention, they just turn it on and problem is solved. Parents that are tired and just want a break find this as such a rewarding fix to the immediate annoyance they are experiencing.
"I want kids!" Says the parent(s) 《Have a kid and kid acts like a kid》 "OMG, this is hard! The TV never showed how much of a responsibility kids are! I want my life back!" Pick a lane.
Note, you watched about an hour or two of TV back then. Kids used to run from the tv. Parents used to have to force them to stay still. Now ripping a tablet away is a fight. Strap in boys, because the idiocy that's is unfathomable today is heading to unimaginable heights.
I loved Mr. Rodgers when I was a kid, best TV show for kids right there. Lots of great lessons to be learned on Mr. Rodgers, very education show. The last time I saw him, was just before he died, he put out a PSA to the public, just after the USA was attacked on 9/11. I heard he was so depressed, it was like pulling teeth to get him out of his stuper long enough, to address the nation, and they were great words BTW, I was in tears seeing him again as an adult. Reading Rainbow was also great, actor who played Geordi Laforge on Star Trek TNG. The garbage programming started in the 90's folks, got worse in the 2000's, and no 2020's.
Reading Rainbow was so great, I always sing along to the intro song. I also watched Barney and Madeline. But I did have a phobia of mascot suits as a kid, so maybe Barney wasn't a good choice 😂
@@sianais Exactly. But it's not only the amount of time spent watching per day, it's also that TV programming was time locked. If a show started at 4pm and you missed it, you missed it. Now with the internet everything is 'watch it when you want to' or the rather bossy sounding 'on demand.' Saturday morning cartoons were on Saturday morning and only for a few hours. Now they are available 24/7 and they never end. Ditto for any after school type kids programs. We've gone from kids watching for a couple of hours a day, and probably a lot less, to studying what happens to 5 year old's brains when they watch more than 5 hours a day.
As a parent myself, theres definitely a fine line between "educational content" and brainrot slop like Cocomelon and the dozens of other cocomelon clones like little angel. There are alternatives and much much better shows for children to watch, the problem is most parents have brainrot themselves and are so addicted to their phones that all they want to do is shut their kid up by giving them the brainrot slop theyre consuming just made for kids instead. I think its a much bigger issue with the parents than anything else, however I 100% agree with Asmon on the idea of things being labeled as healthy or educational and there being no real standard for that, it seems like if you slap colors numbers and letters on something you can then pass it off as educational even if you have 0 background in child education or psychology. Its a problem on both ends but at the end of the day its up to parents to get off their phones and be a damn parent and interact with your kids, go play outside, do arts and crafts, go for a walk, play the good old school games on emulators when the weather is crappy, theres plenty of things you can do with your kid other than hand them cartoons, I mean seriously one of my kids favorite things to do is walk to the gas station with dad and get a juice and a snack, parenting is not hard it just requires you being present.
My daughter used to watch this during quite time at my mother and aunts house while I was at work. We noticed her irritability went up, and she stopped verbalizing her wants. It's like she reverted backwards. All I did was find some old Barney and Rugrats episodes on TH-cam for them to use instead. My argument was that they had me watch these on VHS for my quiet time, so it should be fine for her. We noticed her going back to her old self within a week. She was only getting exposed for about 20 minutes at a time. I can't imagine the effect this would have on children watching these for multiple hours throughout the day.
@@fraskf6765 It was a few years ago, and they never watched coco melon again. My daughter is now in love with Wild Kratts and Gumball. She says the coco babies look creepy. My mom said she never thought that after watching Barney episodes again, she'd actually prefer him to coco melon 🤣
Most parents probably don't even notice at first. I was a homemaker and mother and when it's time to do chores, you have to find something to keep your little ones out of trouble in the meantime, so you find it. My kids sat and watched Disney channel until I was done. Also, there is an uptick of parents working from home. The parents fell into the "This will keep them busy until my chore/ job is done". Then, AFTER you notice something is up, you search for the culprit.
@RichSmithson So parents are home more then ever due to “work from home” and they STILL don’t have time for their kids? You expect to play with your kids as your working? You must have an amazing job. I'm glued to my desk 8 hours a day when I WFH. Some people.. it's a lot worst; like if you work for Verizon - they're VERY strict. Even if you WFH.. you don't always have time to play with your kids. You're working!
Go on to youtube and watch anything made before 2000. Darkwing Duck, Gummy Bears, Inspector Gadget, Mask, Transformers, Monchichi, the Snorks. Kids were watching this back in the day and never once did they become zombified. Culture died once the smartphone was invented.
bluey really shines man. i stumbled upon that cartoon bcuz it had pretty cute dog designs and cool music and actually good story lines in their episodes. i always play it for my disabled bro and he likes it bcuz voice actors actually sound like normal beings
My late dad didn't let me watch it at all as a kid... Transforming to a Ranger made him say hayl naw... (was in the Adventist church as well, so if you are religious and in that church, it's cranked to 10 when it comes to shows) My mama had to quit watching Bold and the Beautiful (Soap Opera, also did similar watching As the World Turns and Guiding Light) because it was this cracked like cocomelon... But to this day, 🌽 is like that for me because of one quote from Samantha 38G and I quote "🌽 is love stories for men"... I only had one... In high school. I still wait for that very experience as an adult now...
I think a good thing about this, is that a shi*** generation of parents will be showing the current generation of will be parents that this is unacceptable. I refuse to hand my kid a fu**** iPad to “shut them up”.
Most millennial parents I know aren't doing this. We're focused more on creating experiences because that was what our own childhoods were like. I worry more about Gen Z parents. I watched a Gen Z mother at the store shopping while her child swiped her TikTok algorithm on her phone. It was an otherworldly, dismal thing to witness.
Just know my 2.5yr old will take that iPad, turn on Disney, load a movie for the background noise. Slide up on it to minimize it to the top, then load a learning game and play for 20min while I make dinner. but my 2yr old is also already in a pre k class for 3-5yr olds cause he can talk, knows 1-10, the alphabet and working on colors this next week, The iPad will teach him the colors btw just like they talk him to count to 10 and build a Minecraft base. Lmao I laugh at parents who hinder their kids cause technology is scary. I'm a software engineer and literally work on apps designed for children educational programs. They've paid the best the few years is why too.
@dingoledingus9039 yea gen z grew up with lots of social media being normal. I'm millennial. My parents limited our screen time, we had to do chores to play Playstation. They would take the Playstation away in the car sometimes when went to town shop or visit ppl lol so we wouldn't just play it all day. Tho we didn't have this kinda stuff as no real internet and only a few tv channels. Its bad now with being able to see anything all day.
My kids will get internet access later in life, but most of all the only time they get a "tablet" is in airplane mode on the long (2.5+ hour) drive to our families house as a last resort to beat the boredom. (At my son's age, I had a Gameboy, so I cannot be too unfair.) That or they get the Switch to game and pass time. The tablet has two things they can do. Watch shows we downloaded to the tablet, or color, which they also love. When I do ever let my kids go on the computer/tablet for anything other than the controlled environment, they're starting with a desktop PC in the living room with family around, and controlled/timed access.
This is why Barney avoided saturated colors like bright green or vibrant purple and why clowns only wear dark muted colors like browns and blacks. I think these "tricks" aren't anything new.
These aren't even tricks...kids just love colors just like they love candies. The problem begins when it's the predator that offers those candies instead of a grandma that wants good for that kid
@@cursedimageseveryday5559 the colors are the science. in advertising bright yellow, red and orange colors are used because they are colors of fruit, and our brains instinctively like these colors because our primitive side wants to pluck fruit off of trees and bushes to survive. which is why mario is red, why taco bell ads are always orange or yellow, etc. you have no idea the lengths these people go to hack your mind.
This kind of stuff genuinely makes me worried for the future. Our parents and grandparents never had access to such an astronomic level of dopamine brainrot overdose, but kids today have such easy and instant access to it at all times (assuming parental skill issue, which let's be honest seems to be rather common). As we get older, we'll still be sharing this world with these kids who will grow up into adults without the faintest idea on how to actually function in society. When you look at the results, it'll basically be due to greedy people who made it a calculated science to profit off of obliterating children's attention spans right from birth.
It gets worse because the media convinces adults its "educational" on surface level description of their channel, but in reality the subliminal messaging is the opposite.
@@sneakypeteog9968Probably, but in my childhood, the older kids mocks the younger ones who watched such shows, which luckily broke the brainrot. Notice that platforms are too intolerant of slurs and mockery these days that it helps protect brainrots. Mr. Beans said it himself in a past clip, ppl needs to get used to profanity and mockery more to be resistant. Its freedom of speech and critical thinking.
Imagine some lowly predators trying to lure kids to them with the Cocomelon song. It almost sounds like the Pied Piper of Hamelin, that's actually pretty scary.
@@desveritas Think bigger. Having an army of toddlers doing whatever you say would be insane. Ask them to rob a bank in return for watching that show. It would be like activation phrase for sleeper agents except its cocomelon songs.
Dude, I’m a gamer and a father with a 16 months boy now, didn’t expect to see this here but appreciate you have watched this vid cuz there is 0 chance I would have seen it myself
Bluey, spidy and friends and micky mouse funhouse have been good for my baby girl... Most of what's on TV isn't worth showing to your child.... But these 3 have been good... Bluey Family 👪 👍🤘 Bandit... is the Goat Dad! Makes gig Chad look like a B..... lolol 😂😂😂
@@adamross4774it all comes down to being a responsible parent and too monitor what your kids are watching and for how long per day. Yes these shows like cocomelon do need to be held accountable too since they’re getting away with predatory business practices. But at the end of the day these shows wont get the viewership they demand if we don’t give it to them
A lot of 90's kids got "The Cable Guy" parenting, where parents would use the TV as a babysitter. I used to play video games for hours and hours and my parents loved it. I wasn't bothering them. I turned out alright I guess 🤷♂ Though I will say, Nintendo games could be really hard. You could really only play for so long before you got tired of retrying the same levels.
I kind of think video games might be better than something like Cocomelon. But everything in moderation I suppose. The video games of the 90s were not as "optimized" for addiction as some of the games today.
It's 100% the parents fault, kids too often get sat with their tablet and TH-cam as a convenient way to keep them occupied instead of doing the hard thing of parenting the child. Doing this makes the kid dependent on things like cocomelon for stimulation and creates an addiction. I'm a parent and yes it is hard work keeping your kid amused but you signed up for this job, don't neglect it and complain about the problems that get created.
back when we were kids, we didn't have tablets, but we had TV. what was the difference? the content. There's definately better quality educational content to be had than cocomelon brainrot, the issue is parents thinking "the most popular" might be "good" for their kids.
Fuck this. This is not 100% parents fault. You can't claim something is safe and educational, then engineer it to be the most addicting and developmentally disabling show on TH-cam. How is that ethical? How is that moral? How even is that legal and not false advertising? The show is designed to be binged watched. That's the entire intent. When a kid watches this show for hours, they are using the product in the intended way. The gas lighting of Cocomelon saying to use their product in moderation when it is designed to be binged is comical and very sad. It's basically just a cop out to allow them to make a dangerous product. This is like shooting someone with a gun and then getting mad at them for not dodging. Excusing Cocomelon for purposefully trying to make a very harmful product and advertising that product as safe and educational is just wrong. Am I saying it is 100% their fault? No. But like most things in this world to those of us with a functional IQ, I can see that there is plenty of fault on both sides here. No one should be giving Cocomelon a complete pass on this
@@pharoah327 no one ever said it was ethical to produce the show. But that is besides the point. Youre obv one of the parents who feels degraded by the truth.... just dig your head in the sand. The problem is not the scientist who found the drug but the person who tries to get people addicted to it. And that would be the parents. Bc its parents JOB to protect your kid from shit in the outside world. And this is part of it
It’s cause they’re addicted to Facebook and tiktok. They don’t wanna get off their lazy butt to pay attention to their kids, and no I don’t really care if they’re “too tired from work” parents have a responsibility that quite literally supersedes all others
It's also very easy to judge people on the internet you don't know, don't know anything about their lives and situation. We live in a world where having 1 of the parents being stay at home parent is almost impossible unless you are very well off and the money loss from 1 parent not working is not an issue. The ones who are able to work from home, they have to start working only after few weeks because the paid maternity leave is 10-12 weeks on average so a lot of these parents need to start working again to make money, even if it's from home that's still work that needs to be done and needs concentration, then when parents see their kids watching this average looking cartoon they like and makes them calm, most of the parents will take it so they can do some work in the meantime. Sometimes you don't realize the dangers of something or the mistake until it's too late, that applies to everyone, not just parents. Everyone has done mistakes they didn't realize it is until later on. That doesn't also excuse what channels like Cocomelon are doing and preying on these kinds of people and situations and purposefully making it to keep a toddler addicted. Can you make the argument that some parents just want to dump their kids in front of a tablet because they just wanted their kid to shup up? Absolutely. But does that mean most of the parents are like that, very unlikely. Unless you actually know a person very well, their life, habits and parenting abilities, it's unfair to make a judgement without knowing anything about what's their situation is and being in their shoes.
True, but I also think companies that purposely try to make their products very addictive to children are shitty companies. Two things can be true at the same time... But yeah, parents should not let their kids watch Cocomelon if they are concerned (if they do that step and then call out Cocomelon, then that's fine, we should call out companies who have practices we don't agree with).
What happened to being a parent?! Dont make kids if you want to parent...i was born in 84 and my kids were born in 2003 and 05....they is no excuse for this
True!! Many kids around me have delayed development because of youtube shows. My niece is a bit delayed too, but not too much. However, she becomes berserk if we let her watch the app and then take it away. It's scary...
@@MrLutharr What do you get out of dismissing peoples worries by Socrates Fallacy? We have learned a ridiculous degree about human psychology in just the last 200 years. Its like hacking kids brains.
yeah that's why i take away phone from my nephew and niece and talk to them as they follow what I'm saying. and also suggest my sisters the same way i do. sometimes parents thinks technology can do better but not it's horribly wrong.

Tbf our school isn't much better. Well they are, but in some significant ways, not by much. Though there are exceptions with great teachers. (Ideally imo they'd do half day of school, and a half day homeschool).
It's a product. Designed to be so addictive to babies that their own parents aren't as important to the baby. Should we know who the people are who set out to make this? It's comment on TH-cam. TH-cam pays the most money for the most addictive content. So is it TH-cam that's at fault here? Advertisers? Marketers? Regulators? Parents? Society? Or the rich and ruthless?
Capitalism is the application of a free market without regulation and hard asset of exchange such as gold and silver. You dont do either one of those, in fact you do the exact definition of communism with central bankers and fiat currency. You have to work endlessly to pay usury taxes to the state which gives it to invaders to replace you. None of that is possible under a capitalist system. You have been duped by commies into believing their non sense about capitalism bad and if only we would adopt MORE communism to fix it....
The thing about this is even if you show this to parents they'd most likely ignore it. A lot of people don't want to admit that they're wrong and them knowing that they're the one's who put their child into this situation it would be their fault.
I'd take it as a sign and be more cautious of what she watches, good luck out there stranger. The internet does NOT have ANYONE'S interests at heart, especially not a kid's.
It would be great if the industry could find a balance between educating and entertaining kids, without causing any developmental issues. Vigilant parenting and regulated screen time are a must in this digital age.
That balance is you as a parent raising your own kids and not putting them in front of a screen, it's not hard it just takes effort which modern age parents are too lazy to give
Ive got a child who we used to let watch it. It’s true, immediately her outbursts would stop, she’d lock on to the tv. Nothing could get her to lose focus. Then we realised turning it off would make her erratic. So it’s banned now. Bluey is a good cartoon. These TH-cam kids shows are absolute poison with zero oversight.
That explains a lot. My little granddaughter saw that show for the first time when she was about 3 months old and she was instantly hooked. All it took was that intro to start playing.
Early childhood media can have such a huge influence on someone. I played the Legacy of Kain games a lot when I was very young and it made me speak like a shakespearean theatre actor.
@@Nigel222 Agreed. I used to play a lot of RA2 when I was a kid and made me play imaginary war games with my relatives. lol But yeah, parents really should learn from this. Not just leave them and brainrot them with cocoshits.

I had a game design professor who said that she, at three years old, was somehow able to figure out how to set up a game console that required input commands to set up.
Used to plug in those old analog mouses and peripherals at my dads computer shop as a toddler. Was like the square block in square hole game. Kids are smart, stupid is learned lol
Here's an idea ❗ Let's Turn this around and make kids learn important things faster, correctly while making them learn a wide variety of subjects. Okay now give it a bit of confidence, cause this might make toddlers learn better than any of us ever did. I know it's seems sketchy but well made could be big, let's make an AI understands what makes COCOMELON tick AND let's make kids actually LEARN important stuff and make them understand things like how the world works, math, maybe make them learn and understand Great works of art like Shakespeare. I hardly doubt it would be that hard I mean they already made the blueprint, LET'S MAKE THIS WORK, and maybe we can make this nightmare into a better word with people who are more knowledgeable, smarter and literate in art, finance and in all the other ways this world works.
@@davidenatoh359 Got you fam...which part of their comment didn't you understand? "Children under 13 shouldn't be allowed on the Internet unsupervised"...seems pretty self explanatory...but like I said, I got you. Let's talk it out...
The first mistake was allowing governments to become so big and expensive that fathers could no longer afford to support a wife and two kids on an average salary, and instead had to have both wife and husband working full-time, just to manage the burden of all the taxes, regulations and inflation/currency debasement done by said governments.
Just a parents perspective here. Years ago I would put on Cocomelon for my toddler as it was on Netflix and I would put on a kids show for 30mins just so I could do a few house chores. We'd cycle through different shows and cartoons, but when Cocomelon was on I, the parent would become overstimulated by it. I couldn't figure out why I became so annoyed when it was playing. The nursery rhymes are GRATING. The bright colours are overwhelming. My toddler would sit there in a TRANCE. Any other show she'd be working with her play doh or colouring in on her art table, but with Cocomelon she would sit there in a trance. When you're a parent that's dying to get some free time in the day to do house chores or just sit and have a cup of coffee in peace, you think wow this is amazing! 30 minutes of complete quiet and she's learning about numbers/words/it's educational etc. But I quickly realised that every time I turned Cocomelon off, she would have a meltdown. Toddlers have meltdowns over everything - but these meltdowns were different and full on. It was like dealing with withdrawal. Before this stuff even came out about Cocomelon, I had a gut instinct that this show was complete garbage, even though it was everywhere (toys, recommended on Netflix, my Mum friends all played Cocomelon for their kids) so I removed it from Netflix. It wasn't enough to just not put it on because my toddler would point to the tile on the screen and scream over it. There's a lot of comments about "just raise your kids" etc and I can tell most of these are from people without kids. Cartoons and shows have a place, but not for endless hours every day. And I also believe there is a huge difference in the quality of shows that we had when we were kids (I'm an aging millennial in my late 30s) and the shows we have now. TH-cam Kids is the worst thing ever for children as well and it is banned in our house. Screen time now for my kids is the public kids channel here in Australia (it's heavily regulated and reminiscent of when we were kids in the 80s/90s), a heavily restricted kids Netflix account and curated downloaded movies/tv shows. I just want to say too, I expressed all these concerns to my husband years ago who just thought it was a cartoon and I was being a bit much with it/overly worried, even though he agreed to remove it. We're both subbed to Sunny V2 and as soon as I saw this pop up I was like YES LOOK AT THAT, LOOK AT IT!!!!! I was right!
No one is stopping you from only showing your kids "the shows you had growing up" instead of youtube kids brainslop. But good on you for banning YT kids
Your only wanting to confirm your laziness. My two olders watched cocomelon and my 2 year old still does. Olders straight As with a few Bs every now and then and my toddler damn near knows sign language and has a big vocabulary. Your and the problems are yours
@@joebobriggzz "Your and the problems are yours" this doesn't make any sense.... and school grades doesn't equal a well rounded human being and their long term development.
good explanation. I'm roughly the same age as you. I just wanted to add, to those that aren't parents, cocomelon's technique is diablical. they overstimulate the kids. its not like you let your kids watch some obscene murder. parents aren't able to determine the problem with cocomelon immediately. Sure, we limit screentime but that doesn't mean the effects of cocomelon won't eventually get to them.
Vindication is a wonderful thing. I think you made the right choice stopping them from watching it. That was and is a good display of parenting. The quality and design of TV shows now days are in no shadow of a doubt, designed using sophisticated methods that capture and maintain attention. A lot of money goes into production for this reason. You did the best and only thing you can reliably do. You watched the show. You watched it, you hated it, you recognized its effect on your child and you deduced that it wasn't necessary for your child's healthy development. I suppose the problem is people talking about it. Awareness. There's a strange phenomenon online where it can feel like you aren't able to talk about concerns. Due to response or lash back. However, regardless of opinion, talking about something encourages thought. This is the true goal. Thought provoking leads to education. I'm glad that in some twisted way, Cocomelon teaches parents about harmful design that is used routinely. Note: The design used in cocomelon isn't just used to target children. I'd encourage a deep dive into media targeted at adults. Social media design is a great start.
I was raised on video games and television, because no one wanted to raise me properly. Guess what? I watched Sesame Street when Mr. Hooper's death episode. I watched NOVA (even though I didn't get HALF of the stuff because all the neat pictures). I watched all the cool 80s movies. The Smurfs. Saturday Morning Cartoons. Nick and Nite. Stuff that traumatized me when I was a kid, and learned to get over it. Ducktales. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Ninja Turtles. NOT. THIS. CRAP. Holy sh*t do we make fun of Barney and Teletubbies but this is on another level entirely.
My son is 2 nearly three, he never got attached to cocomelon and he just finds it boring and goes off to play with his toys and he loves making cause and effect things like filling things up then pouring it out. My SILs son however zombies the fuck out and doesn't do anything and if theres nothing on the tv he gets very upset. They are roughly 4 months apart and my son can link three words together like "I am hungry" etc, my SILs son just nods, points and grunts. I never really thought about this until now.
Now we gotta ask him to show us how Mortal Kombat and GTA are the reason behind school violence. Maybe afterwards talk about how TMNT is the cause of school fights. That's all my grandma needed in the 90s.

Coco Melon is a show meant for younger ages then Pokémon. They are both meant for kids tho. Its rediculous I keep seeing people making comments comparing cocomelon to kids shows they watched but they never use examples they watched at the same age. U weren't watching SpongeBob, Danny Phantom, or any kid shows u watched growing up. That's past the cocomelon age range. Cocomelon should be compared to other shows for toddlers which u certainly dnt remember substance from like blues clues or teletubbies. Idk about you but I dnt remember shit from those I'm sure u probably dnt either. Rediculous to compare it to shows u watched alil older that would actually sick with u
One of the inspirations behind the Mr. Rogers show was that he thought children's shows even back then were too stimulating, colourful and fast-paced for children. That's why he always spoke in a slow, soft voice, avoided flashy colours and quick camera cuts etc. His goal was to help create well-adjusted children rather than to cash in as much as possible at the expense of the next generation's mental health.
honestly, I found mr rodgers boring I think it might've been Canadian only, but I found mr dressup like 10 times better the guy behind mr dressup seemed way more interactive, and seemed like a real person, that actually would interact with people mr rodgers came across like he wanted to be left alone
As a kid, I was obsessed with visiting junkyards with my grandfather. He would take me there, and they even dropped a car from a crane a few times just for me before it went into the crusher. Looking back, it was my strange childhood addiction.
Everyone has 1. For me it was to see construction build up from slowly and go into the discover new places. Important part was u were with your granpa and you were safe without any injuries
I'm pregnant and I'm glad I saw this video. I mean, i wasnt planing on raising my child on a tablet device in the first place but this turns all kind of alarms as well. The sad thing is that by raising my child the proper way, (montesory teaching method, actuall building toys to train neuro motricity) what will happen when my child has to interact with his brain dead peers? It already happened a bit with me. My mother always had the sense to make us read, to keep us interested in stuff beyond "the current thing" on tv. And I struggled a bit to make friends and interact with children my age as they seemed so dumb. I dont want my child to be a social outcast but I dont want her o be a tiktok drone either (i hate tik tok btw) ...
A lot of people homeschool their kids to get away from the toxic school system. I do remember meeting kids in my public school who had been homeschooled up until high school, and they were very smart. They took AP classes and had over 4.0 GPA.
Better to be outcast than braindead. I have found peace in spending time on my hobbies, sports, doing simply what I like and with my family. Meeting someone decent from time to time comes as a nice surprise.

Yep. I became a single dad at 18 and nearly fell into the trap of sticking your kid in front of the tv to keep them entertained. I’m so glad I’m young and aware of these type of things otherwise I could’ve ruined my sons life alongside all the other parents who feel into the trap. If I have to put the TV on while I clean/cook (which is rare now that I have a new partner) it’s either bluey or an old cartoon I used to watch like yugioh/pokemon.
It’s tough being a single parent and I understand how people end up choosing the easy option but it is horrendous for your children
Agreed. This is 100% on the parents getting IQ checked and failing.
Cocomelon is a symptom of bad parenting. Blaming a youtube video and not the person who puts it on is absurd. Parenting isn't easy and it's not supposed to be.

Nono the toddler is a cyber security specialist, and can break through any encryption they put on to their PC, and can even hack into it via an IOT exploit in their baby monitor.
THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING!!!
true but the kid then ends up having 24/7 tantrums and parents arent able just to wait 2-3 days till it goes away,they themselves have no patience.
I can see how this can easily target the single parent household and their vulnerability. Back in the day, the mom would tell the kid no, and if the kid still defied the mom by the time the dad came home or lost his patience, the dad would just take the ipad outside and run it over with his car, because "listening to mom is the most important thing." And the dad wouldn't give af if the kid hated him for it that day and ran to mom for console. It's the parent's tag team strategies that are so important for child development.

My 6 year old daughter used to watch a little of this. She is sweet, does what she's asked, and has the best grades in her class. But some of her classmates can barely write their own name. People are mad that these shows do a poor job raising their children, when the shows are just a very small part of a kid's time if you are doing your job as a parent. The curriculum for her class is embarrassing. They are doing stuff in first grade that mine was doing before kindergarten because I just worked with her a little. And I'm not genius or super parent. She's my only kid, therefore my only experience raising one, and I dropped out of high school. All it takes is a little time and effort.
Downloadable drugs.. in reminded of how many kids Ritilan destroyed. So yeah i guess this IS consistent with their previous behavior.. just way more blatant.
What i don't get is why ppl will be all for baning 'harmful content ' like free speech that offends but yet don't react with "HOW IS THIS EVEN LEGAL?" When confronted with something that permanently alters the way a baby humans brain works. If this was the 90s - of be like advocating for pregnant women to do drugs.. or fed tiger 2yo ritilan etc
Your exactly right. Sounds like your doing a great job. She will always be ahead, if you keep it up. My son and daughter were allowed to watch anything I watched myself and deemed acceptable in moderation. And it is wicked how fast they can learn from some of these shows. (Not necessarily this one, though this one is great for getting your kids to use their voice)
Just remember these people out here making videos on children when they have none have ZERO clue.
Parents think that all the education their kids need is gained solely through dropping them off at school for part of each year. The rest of the time they hand them a tablet so they can be unbothered while satiating their own phone addiction or whatever else they have to do
Homeschooling was the best decision I ever made. It's easy...and your kids actually learn critical thinking.
My 4 year old daughter used to watch this, there were times when she really liked it. I gave her a cheap mini tablet to give her access to watch youtube kids where she can choose what shows she wants to watch but I still control her tablet usage through the Family Link app. Maybe why she watches Cocomelon less and less because there are many other shows that are more interesting for her. Plus the Cocomelon songs are too repetitive, maybe it makes my daughter get bored quickly because she already knows the words mentioned in the song.
As cruel as this sounds, I've noticed a really disturbing trend where it feels like parents don't actually love their kids more than they would love a pet and they treat them that way

@@kevinmorriceexcuses
Coming from a parent of a 2 year old, TV is a distraction, but we let ours watch actual educational stuff for a decent chunk of the day and hes actually really smart for his age. the difference is us being there with him while he watches and helping him learn. cocomelon is just songs and distractions to keep them in a trance. its honestly scary when you watch your kid watch cocomelon, its like theres nothing in their head. ours watches miss rachel (comparable view count to cocomelon) mostly and she teaches words, letter sounds, counting, sign language... at 2 years old he knows his whole alphabet vocally and in sign language, and can count to 20, among knowing hundreds of words.
All this to say, cocomelon is NOT educational, and coming from a parent, DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS WATCH THIS SHOW.
That said, he is very capable and frequently does play with toys on his own, color, paint, etc with no tv. So many parents just shove a tv or phone in their kids face and go do their own thing.

there's a degree of skill issue for the parents for sure, but for many parents it's their first time ever doing it so they have no idea what to do exactly, all the new parents know is that every teacher for childcare classes they go to are telling them that things like cocomelon are okay so these parents are trusting it.

Garbage in, garbage out.
I had a toddler cousin who would come and stay at my house when I was a teen, I was about maybe 14-16. There were many times I had to take care of them and do things like feed them. But they refused to eat at all and just whined and complained. I managed to get it done but noticed a significant switch up the moment I turned on Cocomelon - as I was told to do by my aunt.
That child was known to throw tantrums all the dam time which is precisely why I never liked taking care of him, so I was pretty amazed/freaked out by how silent he became just sitting in front of the TV watching Cocomelon. And, as a teen who didn’t understand the detriment, I would always play Cocomelon to shut the kid up so I wouldn’t have to deal with him. Kinda feel bad now but at the same time not really, it was a parenting issue on that part.
Same thing happened with my cousin. But I think this whole internet thing is having the opposite effect on my cousin these days. He prefers the outdoors to the TV nowadays. He still watches it, but it's always the second option compared to playtime date in the park. Of course, his mum makes sure to limit his screen time, maybe that's why he loves the outdoors. The same can't be said for the iPad kids though.
Limited screentime is the solution to the cocomelon dilemma, but iPad babysitters are awful at managing the kid's screentime.

I was diagnosed with adhd back in the 90's when I was a kid. As a teenager I noticed how certian shows affected me while watching kids cartoons with my little cousins. I made a big point of it when I became a parent, I watched every cartoon with my son or would watch a few episodes before my son would watch it and if it turned me into a zombie I wouldn't allow my son to watch it. Even in my 30's some kids cartoons these days it almost feels like it's physically grabbing my attention and turning my brain off to the surrounding world.
The real problem is that it is also addicting to the parents. If the child is bothering them for attention, they just turn it on and problem is solved. Parents that are tired and just want a break find this as such a rewarding fix to the immediate annoyance they are experiencing.
there's thousands of parents addicted to watching the show
At this point there are far less damaging methods to get a break.

Bro these kids desperately need Mr. Rodgers and Reading Rainbow. Both those shows were extremely educational and overall great to watch as a child.
Butterfly in the sky... I also remember Schoolhouse Rock.
Note, you watched about an hour or two of TV back then. Kids used to run from the tv. Parents used to have to force them to stay still. Now ripping a tablet away is a fight.
Strap in boys, because the idiocy that's is unfathomable today is heading to unimaginable heights.
I loved Mr. Rodgers when I was a kid, best TV show for kids right there. Lots of great lessons to be learned on Mr. Rodgers, very education show. The last time I saw him, was just before he died, he put out a PSA to the public, just after the USA was attacked on 9/11. I heard he was so depressed, it was like pulling teeth to get him out of his stuper long enough, to address the nation, and they were great words BTW, I was in tears seeing him again as an adult. Reading Rainbow was also great, actor who played Geordi Laforge on Star Trek TNG. The garbage programming started in the 90's folks, got worse in the 2000's, and no 2020's.
Reading Rainbow was so great, I always sing along to the intro song. I also watched Barney and Madeline. But I did have a phobia of mascot suits as a kid, so maybe Barney wasn't a good choice 😂
@@sianais Exactly. But it's not only the amount of time spent watching per day, it's also that TV programming was time locked. If a show started at 4pm and you missed it, you missed it. Now with the internet everything is 'watch it when you want to' or the rather bossy sounding 'on demand.' Saturday morning cartoons were on Saturday morning and only for a few hours. Now they are available 24/7 and they never end. Ditto for any after school type kids programs.
We've gone from kids watching for a couple of hours a day, and probably a lot less, to studying what happens to 5 year old's brains when they watch more than 5 hours a day.
At this point, we could confidently classify Cocomelon as an SCP
Big facts
As a parent myself, theres definitely a fine line between "educational content" and brainrot slop like Cocomelon and the dozens of other cocomelon clones like little angel. There are alternatives and much much better shows for children to watch, the problem is most parents have brainrot themselves and are so addicted to their phones that all they want to do is shut their kid up by giving them the brainrot slop theyre consuming just made for kids instead. I think its a much bigger issue with the parents than anything else, however I 100% agree with Asmon on the idea of things being labeled as healthy or educational and there being no real standard for that, it seems like if you slap colors numbers and letters on something you can then pass it off as educational even if you have 0 background in child education or psychology. Its a problem on both ends but at the end of the day its up to parents to get off their phones and be a damn parent and interact with your kids, go play outside, do arts and crafts, go for a walk, play the good old school games on emulators when the weather is crappy, theres plenty of things you can do with your kid other than hand them cartoons, I mean seriously one of my kids favorite things to do is walk to the gas station with dad and get a juice and a snack, parenting is not hard it just requires you being present.
"Beautiful 3D Animation", I would never call Cocomelon that, those babies are nightmarish
I know nothing about animation and feel like I could do this after learning it for like a month or two
People need to realize boredom is good for any age. You shouldn't be constantly stimulated.
Good to know my life is super healthy 👌
Just need to find a proper alternative - toys, fairy tales and kid's science pop exist for a reason.
I swear this show is automatically on a ridiculously loud af volume whenever I hear a kid watching it.
I've always refused to let my kids watch it, my missus is a psychologist and she was mortified this is what so many kids are watching
The Cocomelon generation is terrifying
Easy fix
My daughter used to watch this during quite time at my mother and aunts house while I was at work. We noticed her irritability went up, and she stopped verbalizing her wants. It's like she reverted backwards. All I did was find some old Barney and Rugrats episodes on TH-cam for them to use instead. My argument was that they had me watch these on VHS for my quiet time, so it should be fine for her. We noticed her going back to her old self within a week. She was only getting exposed for about 20 minutes at a time. I can't imagine the effect this would have on children watching these for multiple hours throughout the day.
If only the people who complained about Barney the Dinosaur back in the day could see what was coming 20 years later.
Did you talk about this issue with your mother and aunt? They most likely do not understand the severity of the situatiom.
@@fraskf6765 It was a few years ago, and they never watched coco melon again. My daughter is now in love with Wild Kratts and Gumball. She says the coco babies look creepy. My mom said she never thought that after watching Barney episodes again, she'd actually prefer him to coco melon 🤣
So you’re not a fricken weak victim parent like these people who act like they have no control of their kids addiction
Most parents probably don't even notice at first. I was a homemaker and mother and when it's time to do chores, you have to find something to keep your little ones out of trouble in the meantime, so you find it. My kids sat and watched Disney channel until I was done. Also, there is an uptick of parents working from home. The parents fell into the "This will keep them busy until my chore/ job is done". Then, AFTER you notice something is up, you search for the culprit.
@RichSmithson So parents are home more then ever due to “work from home” and they STILL don’t have time for their kids?
You expect to play with your kids as your working? You must have an amazing job. I'm glued to my desk 8 hours a day when I WFH. Some people.. it's a lot worst; like if you work for Verizon - they're VERY strict. Even if you WFH.. you don't always have time to play with your kids. You're working!
Boohoo, you still dont need to commute
This is 99% the parents' fault. If you can't choose your child's entertainment correctly, you shouldn't be a parent in the first place.
Go on to youtube and watch anything made before 2000. Darkwing Duck, Gummy Bears, Inspector Gadget, Mask, Transformers, Monchichi, the Snorks. Kids were watching this back in the day and never once did they become zombified. Culture died once the smartphone was invented.
bluey really shines man. i stumbled upon that cartoon bcuz it had pretty cute dog designs and cool music and actually good story lines in their episodes. i always play it for my disabled bro and he likes it bcuz voice actors actually sound like normal beings
Bluey is the goat. Wholesome as hell. Me and my little ones love watching it together.
Bluey gave me so many parenting ideas too that work for fun times with my kids
it encapsulates culture over here in Australia so freaking well too, which I feel is one of its big selling points
Turn on bluey to get shit done... nothing was done 😆
Mighty Morphin Power rangers had me hooked bad in the 90s.
Same here man. Kimberly was my childhood crush.
Power rangers, thunderbirds, captain scarlet, pokemon, dragon ball z, wwf, etc
My late dad didn't let me watch it at all as a kid...
Transforming to a Ranger made him say hayl naw... (was in the Adventist church as well, so if you are religious and in that church, it's cranked to 10 when it comes to shows) My mama had to quit watching Bold and the Beautiful (Soap Opera, also did similar watching As the World Turns and Guiding Light) because it was this cracked like cocomelon... But to this day, 🌽 is like that for me because of one quote from Samantha 38G and I quote "🌽 is love stories for men"... I only had one... In high school. I still wait for that very experience as an adult now...
Hell yeah, those Brady Games strategy guides for all of my squaresoft games. Had a whole collection, man!
I think a good thing about this, is that a shi*** generation of parents will be showing the current generation of will be parents that this is unacceptable. I refuse to hand my kid a fu**** iPad to “shut them up”.
Most millennial parents I know aren't doing this. We're focused more on creating experiences because that was what our own childhoods were like. I worry more about Gen Z parents. I watched a Gen Z mother at the store shopping while her child swiped her TikTok algorithm on her phone. It was an otherworldly, dismal thing to witness.
Just know my 2.5yr old will take that iPad, turn on Disney, load a movie for the background noise. Slide up on it to minimize it to the top, then load a learning game and play for 20min while I make dinner. but my 2yr old is also already in a pre k class for 3-5yr olds cause he can talk, knows 1-10, the alphabet and working on colors this next week, The iPad will teach him the colors btw just like they talk him to count to 10 and build a Minecraft base. Lmao I laugh at parents who hinder their kids cause technology is scary. I'm a software engineer and literally work on apps designed for children educational programs. They've paid the best the few years is why too.
@dingoledingus9039 yea gen z grew up with lots of social media being normal. I'm millennial. My parents limited our screen time, we had to do chores to play Playstation. They would take the Playstation away in the car sometimes when went to town shop or visit ppl lol so we wouldn't just play it all day. Tho we didn't have this kinda stuff as no real internet and only a few tv channels. Its bad now with being able to see anything all day.
My kids will get internet access later in life, but most of all the only time they get a "tablet" is in airplane mode on the long (2.5+ hour) drive to our families house as a last resort to beat the boredom. (At my son's age, I had a Gameboy, so I cannot be too unfair.) That or they get the Switch to game and pass time. The tablet has two things they can do. Watch shows we downloaded to the tablet, or color, which they also love. When I do ever let my kids go on the computer/tablet for anything other than the controlled environment, they're starting with a desktop PC in the living room with family around, and controlled/timed access.
@@hyprjaywe’ll see what kind of attention issues your kid has in the future then. Just always staring at a screen and all
This is why Barney avoided saturated colors like bright green or vibrant purple and why clowns only wear dark muted colors like browns and blacks. I think these "tricks" aren't anything new.
makes me think of the porygon episode of Pokémon
These aren't even tricks...kids just love colors just like they love candies. The problem begins when it's the predator that offers those candies instead of a grandma that wants good for that kid
No shit its 19th century psyche ....
I remember I was allowed to watch Barney when I was 3, but it was one 30 min episode and then I had to play outside
@@cursedimageseveryday5559 the colors are the science. in advertising bright yellow, red and orange colors are used because they are colors of fruit, and our brains instinctively like these colors because our primitive side wants to pluck fruit off of trees and bushes to survive. which is why mario is red, why taco bell ads are always orange or yellow, etc. you have no idea the lengths these people go to hack your mind.
This kind of stuff genuinely makes me worried for the future. Our parents and grandparents never had access to such an astronomic level of dopamine brainrot overdose, but kids today have such easy and instant access to it at all times (assuming parental skill issue, which let's be honest seems to be rather common).
As we get older, we'll still be sharing this world with these kids who will grow up into adults without the faintest idea on how to actually function in society. When you look at the results, it'll basically be due to greedy people who made it a calculated science to profit off of obliterating children's attention spans right from birth.
All planned. A docile, dependent population requires governmental oversight.
Look at what asmons generation was raised off... Barney and Teletubbies... probably why we have a trans generation
It gets worse because the media convinces adults its "educational" on surface level description of their channel, but in reality the subliminal messaging is the opposite.
@@sneakypeteog9968Probably, but in my childhood, the older kids mocks the younger ones who watched such shows, which luckily broke the brainrot.
Notice that platforms are too intolerant of slurs and mockery these days that it helps protect brainrots.
Mr. Beans said it himself in a past clip, ppl needs to get used to profanity and mockery more to be resistant.
Its freedom of speech and critical thinking.

Bluey is the only safe one right now. Also Sillwater from Apple TV.
A lot of 90's kids got "The Cable Guy" parenting, where parents would use the TV as a babysitter. I used to play video games for hours and hours and my parents loved it. I wasn't bothering them. I turned out alright I guess 🤷♂ Though I will say, Nintendo games could be really hard. You could really only play for so long before you got tired of retrying the same levels.
I kind of think video games might be better than something like Cocomelon. But everything in moderation I suppose. The video games of the 90s were not as "optimized" for addiction as some of the games today.
Cocomelon saw MK Ultra and took that personally
Plot twist: Cocomelon is MK Ultra rebranded.
It's 100% the parents fault, kids too often get sat with their tablet and TH-cam as a convenient way to keep them occupied instead of doing the hard thing of parenting the child. Doing this makes the kid dependent on things like cocomelon for stimulation and creates an addiction. I'm a parent and yes it is hard work keeping your kid amused but you signed up for this job, don't neglect it and complain about the problems that get created.
back when we were kids, we didn't have tablets, but we had TV.
what was the difference? the content.
There's definately better quality educational content to be had than cocomelon brainrot, the issue is parents thinking "the most popular" might be "good" for their kids.
This needs more likes.
But what about pregnancies from 🍇?
Fuck this. This is not 100% parents fault. You can't claim something is safe and educational, then engineer it to be the most addicting and developmentally disabling show on TH-cam. How is that ethical? How is that moral? How even is that legal and not false advertising? The show is designed to be binged watched. That's the entire intent. When a kid watches this show for hours, they are using the product in the intended way. The gas lighting of Cocomelon saying to use their product in moderation when it is designed to be binged is comical and very sad. It's basically just a cop out to allow them to make a dangerous product. This is like shooting someone with a gun and then getting mad at them for not dodging. Excusing Cocomelon for purposefully trying to make a very harmful product and advertising that product as safe and educational is just wrong. Am I saying it is 100% their fault? No. But like most things in this world to those of us with a functional IQ, I can see that there is plenty of fault on both sides here. No one should be giving Cocomelon a complete pass on this
@@pharoah327 no one ever said it was ethical to produce the show. But that is besides the point. Youre obv one of the parents who feels degraded by the truth.... just dig your head in the sand. The problem is not the scientist who found the drug but the person who tries to get people addicted to it. And that would be the parents. Bc its parents JOB to protect your kid from shit in the outside world. And this is part of it
The addiction is with the parents, just dumping your responsibilities on a youtube channel is so much easier than raising your own kids...
It’s cause they’re addicted to Facebook and tiktok. They don’t wanna get off their lazy butt to pay attention to their kids, and no I don’t really care if they’re “too tired from work” parents have a responsibility that quite literally supersedes all others
It's also very easy to judge people on the internet you don't know, don't know anything about their lives and situation. We live in a world where having 1 of the parents being stay at home parent is almost impossible unless you are very well off and the money loss from 1 parent not working is not an issue. The ones who are able to work from home, they have to start working only after few weeks because the paid maternity leave is 10-12 weeks on average so a lot of these parents need to start working again to make money, even if it's from home that's still work that needs to be done and needs concentration, then when parents see their kids watching this average looking cartoon they like and makes them calm, most of the parents will take it so they can do some work in the meantime. Sometimes you don't realize the dangers of something or the mistake until it's too late, that applies to everyone, not just parents. Everyone has done mistakes they didn't realize it is until later on. That doesn't also excuse what channels like Cocomelon are doing and preying on these kinds of people and situations and purposefully making it to keep a toddler addicted. Can you make the argument that some parents just want to dump their kids in front of a tablet because they just wanted their kid to shup up? Absolutely. But does that mean most of the parents are like that, very unlikely. Unless you actually know a person very well, their life, habits and parenting abilities, it's unfair to make a judgement without knowing anything about what's their situation is and being in their shoes.
True, but I also think companies that purposely try to make their products very addictive to children are shitty companies. Two things can be true at the same time... But yeah, parents should not let their kids watch Cocomelon if they are concerned (if they do that step and then call out Cocomelon, then that's fine, we should call out companies who have practices we don't agree with).
Seems a lot of parents actually think teaching kids values, morals etc is school and tv responsibility.

You have to work endlessly to pay usury taxes to the state which gives it to invaders to replace you. None of that is possible under a capitalist system.

It would be great if the industry could find a balance between educating and entertaining kids, without causing any developmental issues. Vigilant parenting and regulated screen time are a must in this digital age.
That balance is you as a parent raising your own kids and not putting them in front of a screen, it's not hard it just takes effort which modern age parents are too lazy to give
Ive got a child who we used to let watch it. It’s true, immediately her outbursts would stop, she’d lock on to the tv. Nothing could get her to lose focus.

The first mistake was parents putting thier kids in front of a screen to begin with.

The first mistake was allowing governments to become so big and expensive that fathers could no longer afford to support a wife and two kids on an average salary, and instead had to have both wife and husband working full-time, just to manage the burden of all the taxes, regulations and inflation/currency debasement done by said governments.
Just a parents perspective here. Years ago I would put on Cocomelon for my toddler as it was on Netflix and I would put on a kids show for 30mins just so I could do a few house chores. We'd cycle through different shows and cartoons, but when Cocomelon was on I, the parent would become overstimulated by it. I couldn't figure out why I became so annoyed when it was playing. The nursery rhymes are GRATING. The bright colours are overwhelming. My toddler would sit there in a TRANCE. Any other show she'd be working with her play doh or colouring in on her art table, but with Cocomelon she would sit there in a trance. When you're a parent that's dying to get some free time in the day to do house chores or just sit and have a cup of coffee in peace, you think wow this is amazing! 30 minutes of complete quiet and she's learning about numbers/words/it's educational etc. But I quickly realised that every time I turned Cocomelon off, she would have a meltdown. Toddlers have meltdowns over everything - but these meltdowns were different and full on. It was like dealing with withdrawal. Before this stuff even came out about Cocomelon, I had a gut instinct that this show was complete garbage, even though it was everywhere (toys, recommended on Netflix, my Mum friends all played Cocomelon for their kids) so I removed it from Netflix. It wasn't enough to just not put it on because my toddler would point to the tile on the screen and scream over it. There's a lot of comments about "just raise your kids" etc and I can tell most of these are from people without kids. Cartoons and shows have a place, but not for endless hours every day. And I also believe there is a huge difference in the quality of shows that we had when we were kids (I'm an aging millennial in my late 30s) and the shows we have now. TH-cam Kids is the worst thing ever for children as well and it is banned in our house.
Screen time now for my kids is the public kids channel here in Australia (it's heavily regulated and reminiscent of when we were kids in the 80s/90s), a heavily restricted kids Netflix account and curated downloaded movies/tv shows.
I just want to say too, I expressed all these concerns to my husband years ago who just thought it was a cartoon and I was being a bit much with it/overly worried, even though he agreed to remove it. We're both subbed to Sunny V2 and as soon as I saw this pop up I was like YES LOOK AT THAT, LOOK AT IT!!!!! I was right!
No one is stopping you from only showing your kids "the shows you had growing up" instead of youtube kids brainslop. But good on you for banning YT kids

its not like you let your kids watch some obscene murder. parents aren't able to determine the problem with cocomelon immediately.
Sure, we limit screentime but that doesn't mean the effects of cocomelon won't eventually get to them.
Vindication is a wonderful thing. I think you made the right choice stopping them from watching it. That was and is a good display of parenting. The quality and design of TV shows now days are in no shadow of a doubt, designed using sophisticated methods that capture and maintain attention. A lot of money goes into production for this reason. You did the best and only thing you can reliably do. You watched the show. You watched it, you hated it, you recognized its effect on your child and you deduced that it wasn't necessary for your child's healthy development.
I suppose the problem is people talking about it. Awareness. There's a strange phenomenon online where it can feel like you aren't able to talk about concerns. Due to response or lash back. However, regardless of opinion, talking about something encourages thought. This is the true goal. Thought provoking leads to education. I'm glad that in some twisted way, Cocomelon teaches parents about harmful design that is used routinely. Note: The design used in cocomelon isn't just used to target children. I'd encourage a deep dive into media targeted at adults. Social media design is a great start.
Crazy how much these companies nowadays know about the human brain and can use this knowledge to manipulate us.
Yea, tiktok is another example
I was raised on video games and television, because no one wanted to raise me properly. Guess what? I watched Sesame Street when Mr. Hooper's death episode. I watched NOVA (even though I didn't get HALF of the stuff because all the neat pictures). I watched all the cool 80s movies. The Smurfs. Saturday Morning Cartoons. Nick and Nite. Stuff that traumatized me when I was a kid, and learned to get over it. Ducktales. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Ninja Turtles. NOT. THIS. CRAP. Holy sh*t do we make fun of Barney and Teletubbies but this is on another level entirely.
My son is 2 nearly three, he never got attached to cocomelon and he just finds it boring and goes off to play with his toys and he loves making cause and effect things like filling things up then pouring it out. My SILs son however zombies the fuck out and doesn't do anything and if theres nothing on the tv he gets very upset. They are roughly 4 months apart and my son can link three words together like "I am hungry" etc, my SILs son just nods, points and grunts. I never really thought about this until now.
I love how this video about video manipulation techniques has a heartbeat-like, high-bass, anxiety-provoking soundtrack constantly playing.
Now we gotta ask him to show us how Mortal Kombat and GTA are the reason behind school violence. Maybe afterwards talk about how TMNT is the cause of school fights. That's all my grandma needed in the 90s.
The pokemon tv show was actually good though, cocomelon doesn't have any substance, kids won't grow up to remember cocomelon stories
Bye bye butterfree
No I disagree. I live with a 2 and 4 year old and those dumbass songs get stuck in my head for weeks.
@@ayeyuh6920There's a difference between having and remembering an emotional experience, like the butterfree story as mentioned above, and having simple trash music, engineered to be as catchy as possible, get stuck in your head.
@@bigfoot9049 Bye Bye Butterfree, the Pikachu vs. Ash feud episode with their reconciliation at the end. Ash vs. Brock. Pokemon is underrated for its moral fibre and ethical development, imo. Bye Bye Butterfree is a core, formative memory that engaged my capacity for empathy early
Coco Melon is a show meant for younger ages then Pokémon. They are both meant for kids tho. Its rediculous I keep seeing people making comments comparing cocomelon to kids shows they watched but they never use examples they watched at the same age. U weren't watching SpongeBob, Danny Phantom, or any kid shows u watched growing up. That's past the cocomelon age range. Cocomelon should be compared to other shows for toddlers which u certainly dnt remember substance from like blues clues or teletubbies. Idk about you but I dnt remember shit from those I'm sure u probably dnt either. Rediculous to compare it to shows u watched alil older that would actually sick with u
My new favourite sentence is 'Bro, this baby's _cooked.'_ 😂😂😂
One of the inspirations behind the Mr. Rogers show was that he thought children's shows even back then were too stimulating, colourful and fast-paced for children. That's why he always spoke in a slow, soft voice, avoided flashy colours and quick camera cuts etc. His goal was to help create well-adjusted children rather than to cash in as much as possible at the expense of the next generation's mental health.
honestly, I found mr rodgers boring
I think it might've been Canadian only, but I found mr dressup like 10 times better
the guy behind mr dressup seemed way more interactive, and seemed like a real person, that actually would interact with people
mr rodgers came across like he wanted to be left alone
@@justanobody0 I forgot all about Mr.Dressup! I used to watch that all the time, and even went to a live tour show!
Wage war in TH-cam kids. TH-cam kids was a mistake
21:05 actually using a little bit of fentanyl is really really good😂.
Just a smidge though🤣
PewDiePie and Jacksepticeye being right all along
That mom whose kid turned into a zombie is exactly the type of mom I expected.
Timestamp?
As a kid, I was obsessed with visiting junkyards with my grandfather. He would take me there, and they even dropped a car from a crane a few times just for me before it went into the crusher. Looking back, it was my strange childhood addiction.
Everyone has 1. For me it was to see construction build up from slowly and go into the discover new places. Important part was u were with your granpa and you were safe without any injuries
There is nothing I hate more than jogging at the park, and seeing kids on an iPad watching Cocomelon type stuff.
This worse than that show Teletubbies in late 1990s.
Teletubbies would turn your kid into a moron but would recover with intervention.
Oh oooh stinky. Yeah there was no intervention for me.
I remember when my uncle walked into the living room, saw me watching that shit, turned to my mother and said "this is gonna make him **tarded"
I make my kids watch Tucker Carlson.
Eww brother eww 🤢🤢
Smart
You must be religious yikes
Still healthier than Cocomelon
nice. They will learn to speak that way. Listening to words and complex sentences is probably good for the kids.
I'm pregnant and I'm glad I saw this video. I mean, i wasnt planing on raising my child on a tablet device in the first place but this turns all kind of alarms as well. The sad thing is that by raising my child the proper way, (montesory teaching method, actuall building toys to train neuro motricity) what will happen when my child has to interact with his brain dead peers? It already happened a bit with me. My mother always had the sense to make us read, to keep us interested in stuff beyond "the current thing" on tv. And I struggled a bit to make friends and interact with children my age as they seemed so dumb. I dont want my child to be a social outcast but I dont want her o be a tiktok drone either (i hate tik tok btw) ...
Find pregnant friends around you that share the same vision
A lot of people homeschool their kids to get away from the toxic school system. I do remember meeting kids in my public school who had been homeschooled up until high school, and they were very smart. They took AP classes and had over 4.0 GPA.
Better to be outcast than braindead. I have found peace in spending time on my hobbies, sports, doing simply what I like and with my family. Meeting someone decent from time to time comes as a nice surprise.
Easily enough your child can interact with older kids so that works out better.
Raise your child without modern technology. Give him/her toys, stuffed animals, coloring books, children's books, board games, etc.
