It would, but it would also decrease the video quality. I'm not opposed to letting my kids watch YouTube, there is a lot of good quality content there, but having some agency in what they pick would be a lot better than the current behavior of short after short after short. Just like snacking on fast food.
Interesting points and some things I've been exploring too:
Video quality does decrease, and sometimes that's good a good thing.. :)
- Lower video quality is lower resolution = less addictive.
- Decreasing saturated colors reduces children's brain heroin. (Try to put the tv in normal or movie color mode and see the addictiveness fall off).
- Lowering the sound helps kids hear less of the background addictive noises and strain their hearing a little more and can help them get tired.
- Lowering brightness can help with as well.
- Kids device for viewing could be different than adults to allow filtering and shaping.
As for content, I agree.
- Recently I heard there's more and more fraudulent content under official channels that includes bad content inside the good stuff. This needs to be caught.
- Managing access to shorts is important, if not limit outright.
Do you have a youtube premium account that removes ads by chance?
