At least for shows for younger kids, if you’re in the US the PBS Kids app is pretty great. I’m annoyingly particular about what shows I let my kids watch, and pretty much all the PBS Kids shows are cool with me.
I guess technically that app has ads, I’d say about half the time there’s like a 15 second ad that plays when you start the app but it’s basically fine.
Yeah that’s a good one but there’s only so much content. My kid gets free reign on pbs kids only.
It’s kind of wild how many kids shows now in this year of our lord 2024 still have like gongs and dragons and shit for countries in Asia or kids donning pith helmets for trips to “Africa” (never a particular place, just the whole ass continent)
I wish I had a good solution for pirating kids content
Yeah kids shows just don’t get seeded very much.

Just download decades old kids’ shows that are still being seeded by nostalgic olds
Imagining Videodrome but with 70s Sesame Street
You can block the ads with a pihole or a dns, even in app ads
Yeah I need to figure out how work a pihole on of these days

And don’t get me started on how prominent copaganda is in kids’ show.
I’m the exact same way - kids have free reign on PBS Kids but everything else I’m pretty strict on.
