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?
