Completely banning YouTube for kids pretty much seems like the way to go, especially given the content creator incentives to leverage ads, or product promotion -- even in the kids subset of the content. With that said, there's also some really great creative content for kids to explore if given the opportunity. My oldest learned some new drawing techniques from YouTube -- I would not have thought to expose that content to him if I were manually filtering everything.

bboe Link ParentYou're welcome. And you're the second person to use the word "legend" in this thread. Again I'm blushing. I would also like to add PRAW was the product of over 100 unique developers. Without them...great to see the big praw legend over here too and thanks for all your hours making the work of academics a shit ton easier!
You're welcome. And you're the second person to use the word "legend" in this thread. Again I'm blushing. I would also like to add PRAW was the product of over 100 unique developers. Without them and people's interest in using the tool, I definitely would not have spent as much time with it.
What sort of things did PRAW help you out with?
Maybe one day we'll spin up some sort of tildesdev community here too
From my read over the Tildes philosophy and documentation here it seems like there may be less of a need from a moderation perspective, and it seems like it would be counter to the philosophy to make it easier to archive/collect data. With that being said, I wouldn't mind having something that sends me a daily summary of replies to my content.

There is some language, and I guess the LEGO consumerism hurts its score, but I'm 100% on board with LEGO as a brand.
Vlad & Nikki looks terrible. Kind of reminds me of Ryan's World which we put a hard stop to.
I love Bluey. Our kids' interest in it comes in waves -- I wish they'd stick with it a bit more. That and Daniel Tiger.

bboe Link ParentI'm blushing. Thank you. Regarding kids shows, my wife and I have a love/hate relationship with Cocomelon. It's so mind numbing, but when my kids sing the songs after learning them from the show,...Honored to have another living legend among us! PRAW is a fantastic library.

Regarding kids shows, my wife and I have a love/hate relationship with Cocomelon. It's so mind numbing, but when my kids sing the songs after learning them from the show, it's incredibly adorable. My favorite show to watch with the kids is LEGO Masters. I love LEGO, and I love that as a competition show, the competitors almost all have mutual respect and adoration for each other. To top all that off, Will Arnett is the perfect amount of cheesy.

Those were fun days back on #reddit-dev on Freenode. Thanks for those contributions, and your work on AutoModerator -- it's amazing what all that grew into.

I was a Redditor since November 2009, and as of this week have lost a significant amount of trust in Reddit. This loss in trust is particularly difficult because I easily spent upwards of 1000 hours working with Reddit's API between 2011 and 2022 while creating and maintaining PRAW, a python library to interact with Reddit's API. While PRAW isn't directly impacted by the API changes, the treatment of other long-term developers does not sit well with me.
Outside of Reddit I have a passion in Computer Security. I work as a Security Software Engineer at Netflix. I am a member of Order of the Overflow, the team that organized the DEF CON CTF between 2018 and 2021.
In my personal life, I spend most of my time with my wife, and two kids, both of whom are under 10. When I get the opportunity, I'm currently playing through Tears of the Kingdom.
Thanks @Deimos for making this community!

bboe LinkAccording to the penalty sheet, it seems none of the counts have mandatory minimum sentences.According to the penalty sheet, it seems none of the counts have mandatory minimum sentences.
I love that! That's the most rewarding thing about having worked on PRAW, hearing that people were able to get into programming because of it. Thanks for sharing.
