Who is 'Candice L. Odgers'? The article's author is 'Monika Neff Lind, PhD'. 'Candice L. Odgers' isn't mentioned in the article anywhere that I see. What was your goal of implying this is a quote/this person was relevant?

The link is only to the marketing fluff piece, the paper is here and has three authors [1]

Thanks for the clarification. For others, here is the full conflict of interest disclosure from the linked paper in the article:

ML has an equity interest in Ksana Health Inc. No Ksana Health services or products were used in the current project. SS serves on the scientific advisory board for Headspace, for which he receives compensation. He has received consulting fees from Boehringer Ingelheim and Otsuka Pharmaceuticals. CO serves on the Youth and Families Advisory Committee for YouTube.

I agree that this could be a conflict worth noting but I don't know the structure of that board to say how big. The link to the board is here [1] and implies independence and doesn't mention that youtube does or doesn't give funding/other support. (at least I didn't see any)

Always good to look into potential conflicts of interest though.

Too much social media in young years?

Cigarette manufacturer's research concluded smoking is a-okay for you. AI slop peddler CEO says, if you don't buy their stuff, you will be left behind. Biotech company says taking their pills can be only good for you.

This lady says you should let your children get hooked on YouTube, who knows what could happen if you don't!

Looks like biased research, fake coverage amplifies it, it's all manufacturing consent.
