The two failing extremes
Zero-screen homes fight reality; open-screen homes fight consequences. The workable middle is environmental: screens whose entire menu is acceptable, with time boundaries the device itself keeps.
Environment beats willpower
FilteredTube is that environment: an approved-only catalog, kids mode with a daily cap and PIN, one stream per account, and a standard no one in the house can loosen. The argument ends because the option doesn't exist.
The framework lands in practice as three settled layers: WHAT can play (the approved-only catalog, sealed by one written standard), WHO is watching (per-account lenses and kids mode), and HOW LONG (daily caps kept by the app, ended by a PIN, not a plea). Each layer is enforced where children cannot reach it and parents do not have to police it. That is the difference between a rule in the house and a rule in the architecture — and architecture never gets tired at bedtime. Family plans run $9.99 for three accounts and $14.99 for six.

Key takeaways
- The middle path is environmental, not willpower-based.
- Caps, PINs, and per-account limits are kept by the app itself.
- A standard nobody can loosen ends the daily negotiation.
