That's my point: don't try to do content curation, pass it down to the next level. A limited number of manually vetted publishers should have access to the kids sections, and that access should be a very valuable asset which they lose when publishing bad content; as opposed to a burner Youtube account anyone can setup in minutes.
- crankylinuxuser 8y agoFine, lets say Google does that. Then they're blamed for allowing a media oligopoly form, whilst ignoring small content producers. We're seeing this play out with the demonitazation of popular vid creators. Long story short, with the public, damned if you, and damned if you don't.
- jakobegger 8y agoNobody would complain if Youtube offered a curated channel with guaranteed kid safe videos. If I type "Peppa Pig", I want the official genuine Peppa Pig, not some stupid knockoff. The problem is that Youtube wants to show you an endless stream of content, and they never ever want to show you an empty search result. So they show you sketchy videos uploaded by bots with no quality control, and their stupid algorithms somehow manage to always put the fake stuff next to the real stuff. And to make it clear: Nobody is requesting that Google should block questionable videos. They just shouldn't shove them in your face like they do now.
- s73v3r_ 8y agoTo make it clear: People are very much requesting that Google block questionable videos on their Kids app.
- jakobegger 8y agoThere is a difference between not including something in a curated channel (like the youtube kids app) and blocking it.
