Giving your kids iPads and stuff at 2 years old is absolutely crazy.

The worst thing about brain rot is that it’s directed towards children as a quick cash grab

[elizabeth-yef]

they basically described addiction. these kids are addicted to this content, it’s a virtual drug. literally destroying their brains as it’s meant to be developing. they need an intervention.

What scares me more than the brain rot content is the fact that so many parents give their children unrestricted access to the internet. There wouldn't be any of this if there wasn't a demand.

The problem isn't even all of these memes and shitposts as content, we had that as millenials as well. The problem is the very early age access to the internet granted by the parents.

I babysit for a kid who watches YouTube shorts and I’ve overheard them saying “If you don’t like this video your mom will die tomorrow” and it genuinely scares him. I told his mom about it and she just laughed it off

My fifteen year old son told me about this word brain rot. My thirteen year old son is showing symptoms of having it.

Parents traded their childrens future for a cheap baby sitter, the internet.

I noticed during my middle school years I experienced the effects of brain rot affecting my impulsiveness and my lack of motivation to study, now I am fully aware of what is happening and I was glad my mom stepped in to stop me before it was too late.
My heart goes out for those children ruined by the internet

I am a single father of a 4 year old living in a country where I barely speak the language. My kid’s grandmother lives nearby so she helps me with him sometimes. She means well but when I pick my son up from her house on Sunday nights he doesn’t want to get off her tablet and he’s watching this crap. Throughout the week he begs to watch it. Thank you for this video so I can share it with Grandma.

Today at work I met a family with a 1 year old girl who was VERY restless and cranky. The mom took her out of the stroller and gave her attention. Didn't help. They gave her a pacifier. Helped for about 10 seconds. Her dad and 4yo brother tried playing peekaboo with her. Did absolutely nothing. Then the mom pulled out Cocomelon. When I tell you this little girl INSTANTLY settled, started smiling, and became completely fixated on the screen as if nothing else existed. It was eerie to say the least. Of course when the parents took the phone back, she began fussing and crying again. I asked them how much she watched it, and they said "not a ton. But it helps when we're busy or in the kitchen."

It makes me wonder.

as a camp counselor i work with kids as young as 4 or 5. they'll constantly say things like "you're so skibidi rizzler gyatt" and i'll ask them "do you even know what you're saying means?" and they'll just be like "no" but spend all day speaking like that anyways

[greencityman]

I always thought my parents weren’t being fair for letting me watch that stuff when I was a kid. I’m thankful now because it genuinely rots the brain.

My friends boy is 8 and he knows every flag of the world. He knows how many countries border each other. He knows every state in America. He is 3 years ahead in maths than his peers.
This is down to his father giving him the time of day.
He has a tablet but just plays games on it.

Brainrot content is truly disturbing. The stuff we all watched as kids had much more substance.
No wonder their attention spans are ruined.

[PoshPigsHerd]

The fact that they found enough 1 year olds getting 4+ hours of screen time to even do a study is insane. 😩😑

[soupi]

I work in preschool and SO many kids are behind on their educational AND social emotional development! It's absolutely awful!

[mr.monkeytail]

I’ve ran into people who legit said “I got this from tik tok”
And had to correct them so many times. It’s a headache dealing with those type of folks🤦🏾‍♂️
