Dear diary
I think one of the best things I've ever did for my family was to teach my brother how to administer, monitor and control my nephew's YouTube and overall cellphone usage. He's a perfectly happy, smart and well educated 9 year old boy who's doing way better than his peers, and doesn't show any sign of possibly trooning out (I unfortunately can't say the same about his maternal cousin about the same age).
For those of you who are tech savvy: find the middle ground to help your family without scaring them off. It doesn't matter if you think all big tech is pozzed and we should all live in the woods, normies will never accept it. I would never be able to steer my brother and my nephew to "alternate sites" or any shit like that, but on the other hand, it was very easy to set up Google's parental controls, teach him how to use it and warn him about what he should be on the lookout for.
Summing up: don't be spergs, you'll be able to help people way more.
