Who would have though that letting your kids watch videos on the internet without supervision was potentially dangerous?
Who would have thought that YouTube's algorithms don't actually detect the content they are supposed to?
More than that, it's a GMOD video with a clip of filthy frank IN it
better question in this age of curated content and endless variants of the childrens video app, why the hell would you trust a user generated video platform like youtube? I guess its free and has lots of minecraft but that's about it, especially since a lot of people can afford a netflix or other subscription which will have a children variant.
I really thought you were being memey, holy fuck.
Hope they don't go nuclear and nuke Filthy Frank's channel because of this. Those videos cheered me up through rough times.

At this rate, they will think that GMOD is some secret acronym that stands for Garry's Message Of Death and that all those GMOD vids on YouTube are meant to brainwash children into commiting suicide by throwing toilets and barrels at eachother.
Dear parents,
Stop expecting a company who makes billions from ad revenue to police your child's content. Actually watch, review, and set limits on your kids internet usage. Be a fucking parent and actually be involved in selecting your kids content, stop expecting YouTube to do it for you.

To add to the list of FF green screens..
Will Garry answer the media's questions about him promoting suicide?
He'll probably just ban them.
the bigger question is how the fuck did filthy frank end up in youtube kids
Why wouldn't a beloved children's TV star be on youtube kids?
~Magical algorithms.~ What most people would think is that if a channel wanted to be on Youtube kids they'd have to apply to be manually reviewed by say, a human being before having their content appear on the app. At this point they'd be subject to constant inspection so if inappropriate content did somehow end up on the app through such a channel, they'd get a strike and have their kid friendly status revoked immediately. However, Youtube is still uninterested in figuring out how to tackle this problem with humans due to the scale of the site so they let algorithms have at it.The algorithms then proceeded to shit all over the place as they usually do so parents find Little Timmy watching shit like this https://pedimom.com/youtube-kids-inappropriate-videos/ because from what I can tell the system is just looking for cartoony visuals and whatever shit tends to be popular with kids on youtube like Minecraft and anime with no ability to consider whether the content is truly appropriate.
i bet that poor animator dude must be confused as fuck about that video takedown
You can't really blame Youtube completely for stuff like this. Every day 49 years worth of content is uploaded to the damn site. There's just no way to manage all that
But if you're going to have official channels that reflect the company, maybe you should have an application process for individual videos, not accounts, and someone there accepting/rejecting them, not an algorithm that depends on the INTERNET'S collective decisions
Giving kids unsupervised internet access is just a bad idea.
To be fair I feel this is more Youtube's fault than the parents for supposedly creating a section where it's expected for there to be only content for children, this is like letting the TV on in a children cartoon channel and come back to it running a violent movie, it's not the parent's fault for expecting a children channel to NOT play anything other than children content in my opinion.
If Youtube can't handle curating Youtube Kids then they should just remove it.
On one hand yeah, it's a no-brainer that youtube should actually learn how to curate its content. On the other hand, no matter how curated a platform can be, if parents are too dumb and irresponsible to make sure their kids stay on the curated parts, there's no saving them.
Didn't Cartoon Network air Evangelion in 2003
yes

There's been allot of fake kids shows uploaded recently. First 10 mins or so will be legit then it cuts to some gory messed up version of the show. Currently it's peppa pig and paw patrol. I know better then to let my daughter have free reign over youtube but I'm seeing this being plastered all over parents pages on Facebook.
Seriously this I fell for the "go to lemonparty.com" trick back in the day when I was a kid. That was back when internet explorer wouldn't let you close out of a tab when a prompt from the webpage which would keep popping back up. I freaked out and pulled the power cord.
This is where I'm landing on this - if it was regular old youtube then yeah I'd say the parents just need to be careful about what exactly they're letting their kids watch, but youtube specifically created a supposedly kid-friendly space that apparently isn't curated very well, that's a bad move
Here's a crazy idea. YouTube shouldn't be for kids! 'YouTube Kids' should be removed, and you should technically only be allowed to use youtube if you're a certain age.
I know that's stupid because youtube kids videos get millions and billions of views, but y'know also, this will never work morally. Children's entertainment only works if it's done by curated professionals. You can't throw children's entertainment to just any rando with a computer and expect good results, and especially not on a platform of this scale and size.
Trying to make youtube family friendly will never, ever work. The only way I can imagine kids content on youtube coming close to working is if;
YouTube Kids content consisted of like a very small amount of channels that were HAND curated, hired by youtube, and were made in to actual productions a la hulu, netflix, or amazon.
OR
The entire point of youtube was nullified and the ability for just anyone to upload a video was removed.
It's one or the other. Changing the standards of who can be monetized won't work. Demonetizing people won't work. Blacklisting channels will not work. You could remove monetization altogether! And there would still be this kind of content on youtube because people make youtube not just for money but for fun.
Stop trying to fit a square youtube in to a round hole, and just admit that youtube is not, and will NEVER be, 'for everyone ".
I can't take this mom seriously after seeing this lol
