I think this ignores whether or not YouTube has a moral obligation to create better experiences for children.
You can have millions of parents address the issues themselves or you could have one company with massive resources fix the program for millions of parents.
Aside from morality, I think it's a clear product / business issue for them.
- mikeash 8y agoI see no obligation for YouTube except with their “Kids” app. That one really does need to be appropriate, and from what I’ve heard they are failing at it. But as long as they fix it (or even discontinue it) I see no reason why they need to accommodate children on their adult-oriented site and app.
- ascagnel_ 8y agoThe issue with the "Kids" app is they changed it's content filtering -- what used to be a human-moderated whitelist of content is now determined algorithmically. And that algorithm has been unable to filter "satirical" content that features characters from children's shows from actual children's shows.
