A silver lining to this is new parents are very aware of the dangers of screen time. In my little community, I haven't seen parents of kids under the age of 3 give their kid any type of screen especially when they're out. It's a real generational divide, since I used to see kids with tablets in restaurants everywhere back 5 or 6 years ago. The new thing is screen free electronics, like a device kids can stick cards in and it repeats words in English or Spanish.

Disney, here to save kids from screens. Reminds me of when I saw a bunch of tshirts with the word "PUNK" written on them displayed in a window in a mall.

Even worse is what the screen is showing...Every new animation on youtube appear to involve some toilet reference, like if I look up dinosaur cartoons, most of the hits will be showing farting dinosaurs or potty training dinosaurs with animated shit (literally). Disgusting... WTAF? Thankfully there is also a wealth of 90s and older cartoons to be had if you care enough to search for them...
