Cocomelon is designed to be addictive
-
I'm fully aware that I sound like a snob when I say this, but the world building in Paw Patrol seems like a mess. And sure, I get that people get bored of the same rescue plots over and over, so they had to introduce a villain (Mayor Humdinger and all his cat allies trying to cause trouble), and then some kind of supernatural meteor that gives the dogs super powers, and then some mermaid dog society in the mix. Like, pick a lane: is this show about first responders or superheroes or mermaid dogs? And what should I make of the fact that cats are inherently villainous, unless they can talk, at which point they're good guys?
Just seemed like it's sloppy world building and I don't like it, so I don't need my kids watching it, either. Not a particularly good reason, but my kids aren't really clamoring for it.
I'll take it! -
My twins were hooked on it for a while. Made us parents absolutely insane. The kids learned a lot of simple English words though, so it wasn't completely for nothing.
Agreed. The toddlers I taught loved to watch cocomelon, but not addicted too much. They just followed the characters to act and play. They learned some words and also learned to get along with others nicely.

I though that Cocomelon videos are just dumb videos to keep children distracted, but I didn't know that they are purposefully designed to keep children hooked. What's your stance on their videos?
Yeah fuck cocomelon. This is apparent immediately
