Yeah, they could solve this problem in a heartbeat by having a mode where you can only look at your subscribed content.

  This can even be done without google. In fact, this would require minimal work. For example, Kodi's youtube plugin, which lacks the recommendations and autoplay features (which is a feature in this case), could be easily restricted to only show the "Subscriptions" folder. On the other hand, a user-maintained curated list of channels for children is not something that unthinkable (think of GitHub model, with pull requests and that sort of thing). Join both things and you get a better alternative to Youtube Kids for concerned parents. I'm even surprised nobody has done something like this, it would be a nice project.

    However, as krapp pointed out, the main argument against limiting to subscribed content would be that it undermines youtube's business model. If such project got a lot of users youtube might start to work against it.

    That's one of my favourite ideas to submit whenever people ask for startup ideas :) I absolutely believe there's a need for curated content for online video. I'd love a tv-channel-like browsing experience, with seamless switching (maybe some clever caching behind the scenes).

  This would not help their business.
