- detaro 8y agoBecause it wasn't made the way the parent suggests, but relied on algorithms trying to identify appropriate content and after-the-fact moderation in case of complaints.
- toast0 8y agoAs a parent of a young child, what I want is a very limited list of videos; not the vast wastes of content that is YouTube. Marble run videos ok. Crazy Russian science guy, mostly ok, as long as it's not too pyromaniac or alcohol. Thoughtful Minecraft videos ok, annoying kids playing terrible games and freaking out about nothing, no thanks. YouTube kids was totally worthless. Either you turn off search and only see featured videos which nobody wants to watch, or you enable search and basically everything is there, because it only blocks a few categories.
