Kids waste too much time on short videos

A RECENT SURVEY of 1,974 parents shows that 92.1 percent of them think that kids like to watch short video clips, and 66.3 percent worry their children might imitate bad behavior they see. Beijing Youth Daily comments:

The survey also shows that 70.6 percent of the parents worry that their children might lose interest in studies by becoming addicted to short video clips.

Watching short video clips has become increasingly popular among young people, as they are easy to watch and can be interesting. However, some short video clips contain bad, vulgar, and even illegal content, although thanks to the efforts of the internet-regulatory departments, such content is not as common as it used to be.
