I saw a girl saying “You’re pissing me off!” in 4K! What kind of app is this?

YouTube

YouTube is cool for kids, but there is some bad stuff. I recommend you redoing that YouTube with like YouTube kids for no inappropriate stuff but although that it is great.

Warning to some parents!

In this app, don’t get me wrong, it’s wonderful, however from time to time highly inappropriate videos sometimes make their way onto this platform! Make sure you know what your kids are watching, cause when I was much younger I used this app and came across a few videos that did heavily unsettle me. Some horror, a little gore, and there are quite a few adult jokes that I understood now being more mature to understand them. Please be cautious of what your kids are consuming online! Even “brain rots”, a term used by younger generations can be bad! Too much of that sort of contest, especially AI, can really affect them! In my teen years, I learned that using AI can turn into an addiction and it took me multiple years to get out of! Please stay safe, keep your kids safe, and make sure you know what they are consuming!
