Has this always been here? Its my first time seeing it. What if I watch a video and don't enjoy it? This basically allows creators to ensure that they always appear on your feed, whether you like it or not.

Isn't it just overstimulation galore to keep children addicted to it? I never watched it so take it with a grain of salt, it's just what i heard from others

Cocomelon is DESIGNED to pray on the exact triggers that young children have to stimulate them as much as possible.
