Why not get a dvd player? Simplify the whole setup, and I bet you’ll spend less money.

- Get a laptop with a disc drive. Do not enter a WiFi password into the laptop.
- Get a library card.
- Get an HDMI cable.
- Check out DVDs at the library.
- Play them at home.
Ta da. 🎉 You have a way to entertain your kids, a reason to take them to the library, and a way to control what they’re watching.

DVD players don’t have Handbrake, VLC, and 2 TB of storage. 😉

Are there no mobile apps available with human-curated collections of children’s videos?
YouTube is not going to be a place where you’re going to have any reliable quality control. It’s literally (by design) videos uploaded by anyone on the Internet. That’s not by itself a problem, but the idea that it’s a good way to keep very small children entertained is definitely not one I would agree with.

Libby will let you check out library books with your local library card. But they’ve started trying to replace their remote librarians with chatbots.

Ok, books might not be what you want for children who can’t read yet though. 😉

This will work for maybe 2 years, until all the corporate kid shows lay off their writers and replace them with AI

We still have around 80 years of media to go through 🥲
