    My almost 50 year old officemate watches this shit all day long. It 100% affects her negatively in a multitude of ways, including her attending span. It’s not just the kiddos.

      Exactly. My gf can’t sit and do anything. She always had to be on phone watching shit vids.

      Can’t tell me what she’s watched or what she’s looking for. It’s just overloaded brain fart
