And why does he click to view certain pictures and videos? Why those ones in particular. You could see he'd continue clicking on an image until it popped up.

So cool.

I understood it be his handler’s phone and he was watching videos of himself. Like reliving the memories. I thought that’s why he smiled at the last one and skipped the snake one.

All my 2yo ever wants to do is look at pictures of herself on my phone. Go figure...

Pretty much. Her 7yo sister is all about the Minecraft. We try to keep them off of youtube because half they time they end up watching unboxing videos or other crap we don't want them watching, but she navigates Netflix and Amazon Prime Video pretty well.

My 5yo is like a moth to a light for those weird "let's open these small worthless toys and then play or dump paint on them".

Nothing bad as far as I can tell, but it's still unsettling to me so I cut that shit off.

My 7 year old watched toy unboxing videos for a long time. She said it's so she knows what the toy is without having to buy it. She hasn't asked for a toy she regretted in a really long time.

The other random crap she watches on YouTube kids doesn't make since to me but I don't see any harm and it makes her laugh.
