My sister in law has kids that are in the 7 - 13 year range. The girl specifically (she's 9 or so) will just put on a youtube video and then just watch whatever it recommends after that endlessly.

To adults, the content is absolute garbage, but to her its entertaining. I noticed that most of the stuff she watches is just some tweens or twenty somethings doing every day life stuff (sitting in a pool, making spaghetti, etc). The only real difference is that they do it with high energy and make a big deal out of everything.

WOOOOAAA noodles feel weird! NO WAAAYY the sauce is RED!! HOLY COW this hot TUB is SO HOT!

I guess it works because these videos often have 400k to millions of views.
