Are you concerned about the fast-paced videos your kids are watching online? Are you angry because someone is serving valueless, addictive and potentially harmful content to your kids just so he can get more likes and views?

This is much needed. Many of my peers who are parents have unknowingly fell victim to how harmful and addictive successive rapid scene changes can be on children.

@jakecasas @jakecasas Thank you for the comment Jake. It's hard to watch even for adults. In the past, content for children was created by experts. Today, on the internet, anyone can create it. And people are creating it with only purpose to keep the children attention at any cost, so they can grow their accounts. This is simply wrong and my wife and me didn't want our kids to be victims of this.

Congrats @tahireu I dont have kids yet but this seems like a quite valuable use case

@leo_wendler I could easily extend this for adults as well. People are anxious from the Insta and FB stories and other fast-paced content. And it's distracting and taking valuable time. For example, I am using this extension that I found here on PH: https://www.producthunt.com/prod... by @buff

Congrats on the launch, and very refreshing concept. Definitely can understand the motivation for building such a product. What happens when the block is activated - the videos just won't surface in search, or there's a message saying that this video can't be watched?

@charmandro Thank you Charlotte! Blocked videos will just skip, with short message that says they are blocked, but unfortunately they will still appear in search and related videos. There are plans to make this more sophisticated in the future, probably already in the mobile apps which are coming soon.

@tahireu Good to know you're also working on mobile apps! All the best for the development of this product :)

I have observed kids mindlessly scrolling videos on YouTube. Of course, they don't realize how the content and the fast changes manipulate their brains. As an adult, I have always pondered on the idea of warding off kids from this type of content. Kaini seems to have got it. I'm going to install the extension and try it out for sure. Thanks for sharing, Damir. You have done a great job.

@tanoy27 Thanks Tanoy!

Awesome! To be fair this really seems as ''must have'' tool for every parent nowadays... Bravo for the idea, and for the implementation! 👏😊✨ It is really big question nowadays even for grown ups - how to control the flow of information, the content and the frequency, and I can just imagine how complicated it is (and how worrying it can be) for kids and parents... 🍀🙌✨

@maria_brm thanks Maria. Yes, there are a lot of direction where this can be extended, and it is interesting how you named the problem - control of the flow of information, which makes it much wider than a toddler parenting tool. Thank you for the valuable feedback.

A real problem indeed, especially in the post covid era, where children's screen time has shot up multifold. Congratulations on the launch. I'm not a parent yet, but will definitely share this around. Good luck!
