I think the key differences are quality and time spent.
You stay up, watch a 15 minute (10 actually, ala US tv commercials) episode of ATHF and thats it. Maybe you watch Sealab:2021 afterwards too. At worst, youre extremely smoothbrained and watch Squidbillies too.
Okay, so what is the total brain rot time? Like 30 minutes a night? 1 hour tops? Only on weeknights really? You couldn’t watch it all day. You could change the channel to something else, but it wasn’t “that”, all day.
Whatever you change it to might not be “great” but it was still moderated FCC compliant content. Like, your channel scrolling isnt intermingled with a adult man telling children to be racist and abuse women. Not seamlessly anyways.
Compare that the never ending, ever scrolling, available whenever brainrot that is TikTok/YoutubeShorts/etcetcetc. Its not even close. Kids are watching Minecraft videos and then listening to Asmongold atop of SubwaySurfers. Engaging with content and comments all day, everyday on demand.
They are not forced to “change the channel” or go do something else. And what’s on “the channel” is (essentially) unmoderated content to children who dont know if something is real or the wider context.
