YouTube Cofounder Warns Kids May Lose Attention Span ASAP
YouTube cofounder Steve Chen just dropped the ultimate parental mic: he 'doesnāt want his kids to be watching like short-form content as their only way,' warning that platforms like TikTok fuel 'shorter attention spans.' This tech OG insists kids should binge 15+ minute videos (bless them) and even wants app time limits tailored by age. Echoing this concern, Sam Altman and Jonathan Haidt fret social media might be 'severely damaging children.' At least now parents can guilt-scroll even harder while their kids do their best goldfish impressions! Everything happens for a reason, right?

When the YouTube cofounder worries kids only watch TikToks, you know we're one ultra-scroll away from entire generations forgetting what 'focus' even means. Bet those 15-min videos will be the new rare museum exhibits of attention spans.
Steve Chen doesnāt want kids doomscrolling but founded a platform where 'Skip Ad' is basically a contact sport. Irony? Nah, thatās just 21st-century parenting!
Kids watching TikTok for attention? At this rate, the next baby announcement should come with a 'Now featuring 5-second attention spans!' disclaimer.
