   YouTube should make it easy to view series of videos in order, without all the "related" video garbage in the way.
   
   For example, this is episode 1 of a series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGBJfw0VWw0 This time 'ep 2' is next, but the other times I loaded this page, it was someone else talking about a similar idea.
   
   Also: They need to stop trying to force autoplay. Probably 95 times out of 100, their next video is not something I want to see. And even when it is, I don't want it played automatically.

      Autoplay is nice if you hand your tablet to your 2 year old, because the child doesn't have to keep pressing things. But it also means they can be exposed to every sort of random garbage.
      
      When #A1 was doing this, he mostly found Thomas the Tank Engine videos and other train stuff. (So nothing like the weirdness that people used to talk about.)
      
      He found one where people set up model trains to have a train wreck and he emulated that with his Thomas toys for months.

         I sent #GS3 (age 2) a cheap Walmart tablet that I was dissatisfied with (but he liked playing with it when I was there). I don't know how much he uses it, because #sonTwo said he was not going to connect it to a network.
