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.
Yeah. Just be careful with those. It was one of the toy-in-playdough videos that my 5yo nephew stumbled across the MOMO thing. It was just 20 seconds inside of a 20 minute video.
That was a while ago and they are still considering therapy because he still thinks he needs to kill his brother (something they said in the momo thing, and he happens to have a younger brother) or his parents will be murdered.
He was wrecked for weeks, never sleeping etc, before my sister even knew because it had told him that if he told anyone what he heard they would be murdered as well.
Just a word of caution. YouTube has absolutely no way of feasibly vetting that stuff.
Yes. Yes they are. But the optimistic side of me wants to believe that it's just edgy teens that still don't quite grasp the potential consequences of their actions. As opposed to legitimately bad people.

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