| i have a daughter(11) * i check her feed (together with her) on youtube/instagram once a week for toxic videos, and teach her how to manipulate her feed; either she modifies the feed or the feed modifies her * i encourage her to pay for the apps/games, for skins, battle passes etc, and if there is 'pay to remove ads' functionality i always pay * i have a good pi-hole setup at home blocking malware/adult sites etc * i allow her to watch 3-4 hours of youtube per day (but long videos, longer than 10 minutes per video) * i allow and encourage her to play video games as much as she wants, but real games, like spiderman on ps4 or fortnite, no lootbox shit * i dont allow tiktok and youtube shorts for more than 10 minutes per day (enough so she links sent by her friends) * apps and purchases are with approval, but for each app she has to tell me how this app is making money out of her, or for each purchase she has to explain how is the thing she is buying valuable to her |
I like the lessons however.
