Its the only device in our household that I have utterly failed at securing or blocking content from our children on.
My son has found about 25 different ways to access YouTube across our Android, Android TV, Apple and Roku devices. I have found ways in almost all of them to "nicely" block youtube for him (while keeping it for me or keeping the device functional).
Roku is the only one that just doesn't give a crap. Screw Roku.
- nosioptar 6mo agoRoku loves auto changing to really innapropriate shit after the kid appropriate episode ends. For example, start an episode of Mittens and Pants for four year old, at end of episode, instead of playing next episode, it switched to Married With Children.
- ffsm8 6mo agoFrom your first paragraph I was expecting something from the old degen meta like "naked yoga" or "transparent haul" or whatever they're currently doing... Or maybe some of the brainrot genai content that's been booming on kids tv Kinda surprised you consider a completely banal sitcom to be problematic for children. I mean I'd expect the kids to think it's boring and not get any of the subplot... But it's completely family safe?
- Eddy_Viscosity2 6mo agoThe kid is four. There is a difference between safe and appropriate. The recommender could at least suggest something in the same genre. It could also have suggested a deep dive into financial markets, not unsafe content for kids, but also not kid appropriate either.
