The Tubsy Rabbit Hole Simulator is a simple tool for parents: paste a YouTube video or choose a suggestion, and the simulator follows several levels of recommendations.
How it works
One starting video, several recommendation levels
You begin with one specific video. The simulator then follows related suggestions and shows the chain level by level.
That chain is often invisible in everyday life. Parents may see the first video, but not always which choices appear next on the screen.
Context
The simulator is a warning signal, not a panic button
Not every recommendation is bad. The point is that recommendations are dynamic, hard to predict, and not tailored to your family rules.
The simulator helps make the issue concrete without giving your child an open feed first.
Next step
Turn observation into control
Once you see that suggestions can drift quickly, the obvious question is: How can my child use YouTube without entering this chain?
The answer does not have to be a full ban. Often, a controlled frame is enough: no open search, no endless feed, only approved content.
