I've heard this, but I don't think this is actually true (save for some other services that target children).

The problem isn't just the content, though. It's also the medium. SFV as a medium cripples cognition and attention span. It feeds bad habits, emotionally and intellectually.

How many of Gen Z/Alpha have the attention span to sit through a movie, let alone a book? There's even a joke that if someone says they've binged on a Netflix show, it means they're a millennial: younger generations would find that kind of sustained engagement with a subject boring.

SFV is opposed to the kind of engagement you need for deep work.
