I guess it might help with some sites, where kids just scrolled into it but don’t care about it. In cases where they want to see the feed/‘for you’ page, then yep agreed.

If it works out the way I’m hoping for, this might help a lot of OTHER people avoid the algorithms/feeds/suggested posts when they intentionally want to avoid them. I’d love to have a filter like this where I can toggle it off.

• YouTube’s recent change has been really nice, I like only seeing content from subscriptions
• I’d love to remove suggested posts in Instagram, I don’t like random suggested posts mixed in with content from friends/family, and I snooze it every 30 days. If this also blocks the suggested reels page, I’ll probably save a lot more time.
• I don’t use Facebook/Snapchat that much anymore, but it would probably help there too

So honestly, don’t even need to focus on the kid aspect. Make it mandatory to include a toggle to turn off suggested posts.
