I definitely see your point of view and agree with superstimuli. Not necessarily empty though, you do have colors, words, sounds, rhythm, surprise, movement but not patience, conscientiousness etc

But I think it's time allowed using electronic entertainment not the content of the electronic entertainment. I think all youtube is superstimuli.

It possibly should be ZERO time, but if youtube for short periods allows the kids to go on a family trip or keeps parents sanity to allow for a dinner out perhaps there's value externally.
