I though that Cocomelon videos are just dumb videos to keep children distracted, but I didn't know that they are purposefully designed to keep children hooked. What's your stance on their videos?

comparing Bluey and Cocomelon

ugh, that's not even a comparison.

Fun fact btw: Bluey started off as an Australian public broadcasting production. Bought by Disney now, but I suspect they made a deal that gives them artistic freedom. Still sad that money wins.

Good news for you today, Disney does not own Bluey. They're just paying for the rights to stream it on Disney+ - https://www.themarysue.com/bluey-is-on-disney-but-is-it-a-disney-show/

Disney licenses the distribution/streaming rights to Bluey, and just signed the theater and streaming rights to the upcoming Bluey movie (scheduled for 2027) but doesn't own merchandising rights. They did, however, just recently sign a deal for rights to use the characters in theme parks and cruises.
