? Reduces stress levels: going for a walk is one of the best ways of reducing stress levels.
? Feel better about yourself: getting outdoors and exercising improves self-esteem and body image.
? Improve your concentration and focus: looking at nature improves our ability to restore concentration.
? Improve mood: did you know that regular exercise can be as effective as antidepressants.
? Sleep better: going for a walk in the early evening can help you relax and improve the quality of your sleep.
? Worry less: the effect of exercise of worry and feeling anxious is rapid and effective.

What are content farms and are they harmful?

We work collaboratively across industry, government and with schools to reach UK families with tools, tips and resources to help children benefit from connected technology smartly and safely.

Quick ‘hacks’ on various video-sharing and social media platforms have become popular. And content farms have found a way to engage lots of people in short periods of time. But many of the videos they create have content that could seriously harm young viewers.

What is a content farm?

The phrase ‘content farm’ describes a large company that quickly generates content in large amounts. It is often viewed as low-quality content. On YouTube, a lot of this is in the form of crafts or ‘hacks’. Some are harmful or dangerous.

In many cases, one larger company owns multiple channels on YouTube that put out this content. For example, one of the biggest media publishing companies in the world, TheSoul Publishing, owns the popular channels, 5-Minute Crafts and Bright Side. This company also posts on other platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.

Content farms exist to make money. The videos are monetised to earn money from ads. As such, if they get a lot of clicks, then they get a lot of revenue as well.
