I made something cursed but hopefully helpful to artists.

Here's a quote from Moviebob about fast food I feel is applicable.

"Fast food isn't generally going to kill you unless you eat to much of it or try to use it as a sole source of nutrition. And last time I checked, Ronald McDonald wasn't telling people otherwise. Now the counter argument to that is that some kids are in the unfortunate situation of having morons for parents who actually do try to build their nutritional lives around the Golden Arches, and you need to more closely regulate the foodstuff itself in order to protect said kids. And that's a nice sentiment but it belies the real problem. What ought to be happening is that someone should be intervening between the tykes and their dumbass parents, as opposed to intervening between the tykes and the burger shilling clown. But we all know that's never going to happen because the mere implication that some scientist or bureaucrat might know more about what's best in this matter than people whose sole dubious claim to expertise regarding children is the biologically unimpressive achievement of having made one is enough to get you branded as the second coming of Stalin. Hell if I were up against those kind of odds, I might give up and take it out on a clown too." - The Big Picture, Arch Villains

Restricting children's access to the internet is extremely easy. But it requires the tiniest amount of effort AND the child in question is going to kick up an absolute shitfit.

And the thing about a lot of parents is they're not interested in their child's wellbeing. They only want quiet. Nothing else, just quiet. If you are a quiet child who doesn't need attention, they will praise you for it and create a whole host of problems.

So they will just give their kids an Ipad because it makes them quiet. They want their children as low-maintenance as possible and they're not interested in anything else.
