Two of my sisters have in total 3 kids (4 to 6 years old) and all three of them need to watch youtube videos while eating.

Just few days back, my sister had a 'gathering' to announce her 2nd child (making it total 4 kids combined) and the 3rd kid needed to watch few youtube videos (usually they are of other kids playing or doing some stuff) to eat his dinner, which I found quite odd.

This thing is not only related to my sisters kids but for every new kid born in recent years, they will not eat 'peacefully' without youtube.

Also, TV cannot be used, it needs to be youtube where real kids are playing.

Edit:- Found the channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCmSidxfQmY

Part of reason I 'think' is that these new kids born were not allowed to visit outside, leave home, make friends with neighbours kids, visit other families during Corona crisis and lockdown and they sub-consciously got attached to watching other kids doing fun things on youtube.

Someone should look into this as they are not watching Peppa Pig on youtube (which is also a kids show with characters as kids) but other human kids playing.
