grandparents were always left aside when the family discussed about tv shows or viral videos, so they got a xiaomi mibox a few months ago, i personally recommended it cause of the voice search function and easy to use interface

​

i tought they were going to be using netflix to catch on tv dramas and youtube to check news and cooking tutorials and stuff, but they instantly gravitated towards awful and alarming new age garbage

​

at first i thought we should treated them as adults and let them decide what they want to watch, but its time to face the truth, they are getting senile and have trouble recognizing real documentaries from any pathetic badly edited video about flat earth, climate change denial or reptilians pouring mind control gases over the crops

​

and im afraid its getting dangerous, in the past they have been vulnerable to serious telephone frauds, and being ripped off by fortune tellers and such, and now they are getting kinda paranoid over the illuminatti and any number of other stupid stuff, they actually lose sleep over this BS

​

they are now starting to refuse taking their medicines to instead buy homeopathy, stopped eating certain produce cause "it has microchips in them" and a lot of other stuff that makes looking after them really hard

​

i know just censoring their tv box wont be the answer, they need attention and guidance, being treated and explained respectfully, they are not dumb, they superated their iliteracy to raise and get their sons to college, but they unfortunatelly are very gullible, so while we consult with a geriatric and or psychologist, we need to stop the stream of garbage that its being beamed to their TV

​

seriously, in this country the stuff thats on youtube its like "infowars" combined with buzzfeed, jhon edward and jerry sprinfield all at once. so other than cleaning their search history and subscribing them to good content, what can i do to filter their TV?
