And they even get a seizure when you take their ipads away

People when kids screech at a restaurant: 'Must be shitty parents.'
People when kids run around at a restaurant: 'Must be shitty parents.'
People when kids use an ipad at a restaurant: 'Must be shitty parents.'
There's no winning here. Children just aren't allowed to exist.
We are the exception because we most definitely weren't like that at all as a kid. /s
#2 is shitty parenting. Kids running around a restaurant puts them and staff in dangerous situations with hot food and steak knives etc

Maybe that was the case where you grew up, the world is a large place and people live different lives, I grew up on bottleg and official CD's and DVD's, physical comics and novels, mp3 songs downloaded from limewire and torrented movies, friends and family would exchange flash drives and other media regularly for new content, all my content was both curated and organically found and diverse, and I consumed content from all over the world and my life was better for it. And I still rely on some of these methods to get my media, tech companies benefit from taking away ownership of things from people and packaging it as convenience, I'm not falling for that, I'm building my own home server now to host my own open source apps and services, it's not even that difficult anymore.
Yeah, I was a teen in the early 2000s too. Most people still consumed most of their media through live TV. Anyway, you're right, I should build a home server and start burning my own torrented DVDs. That's the only reasonable solution to, "apps suggest crappy shows to my kid," and it's definitely the thing a parent of a toddler has the time to do.

I've recently gotten a hold of an older ipad. I've been installing apps and stuff on it and playing with all the things.
And godDAMN that os has problems. I'm back on my android phone and it's so much smaller, but Jesus Christ having a back button and responsive apps and ui and os feels like coming home.
Android isn't without its problems though. The apps are all definitely aimed at a poorer/cheaper demographic, the audio drivers suck big fat rectum, and the hamburger-scrolly-floating-button design philosophy is straight up garbage.
But there are so many missing QOL and presumably standard features on Android. On iOS, I get so lost in the loose ux standards that often end up bewildering me. I used procreate for like 8 hours today, and by the end, I had memorized a ton of really really bad designs. They work, and within the app, they're.................... Mostly consistent. But I have this deep down rage for whoever made some of these decisions.
It's entertaining, at the bare minimum, to see UX and UI slowly develop over the years, and neither OS (or Samsung's OneUI) are perfect. It's fascinating to see what the other camp is doing.
But yeah... Kids crying over having their ipad taken away? Shame.
Get them something better.
Like a desktop computer.

Set YouTube kid to only show selected channels. My kid is actually bored of youtube now.
Which channels did you select?

I’m guessing it’s because the perception of people who don’t have kids have the thought “every time I’m in a restaurant I see kids on their parents phone/ipad so that must be what they do 24/7”, and I’m totally guilty of that too. Once I had a kid, I think me and my partner had a pretty good no screen time rule but when we wanted to go out to eat at a restaurant that rule was relaxed not just for us but for everyone else as well.

Which channels did you select?
We did some shows that we both liked, like bubble guppies, sesame street, ABC mouse, cool school, paw patrol, peppa pig. Then there's also some like packages that were okay like BBC and discovery kids, Disney channel. The most brain rot one we let them keep watching was pinkfong (baby shark).

Why are you approaching other people's kids and take away their ipads?

Imagine portraying Homelander judging anything as an argument for agreeing with him.

It’s when it’s A, B, then C with subway surfers on full blast for the rest of the meal then yeah the vibe sucks and I wish I wasn’t sitting near your kid.

Have you considered that that self awareness might be a level to the meme you didn't recognize?
No. You didn't. Because you're the REAL Homelander! /S
