I have looked into it. I don't have kids, but I would never allow them access to autoplay videos on youtube. Given my knowledge of Google, Youtube, and their overall ineptitude in this regard. Just because something from them is marketed "for kids", doesn't mean it's necessarily good.
I still blame the parents, especially after Elsagate. It takes some mental gymnastics to allow children to watch random videos on a site where anyone can upload anything, and a site run by a company that thinks algorithms can work by themselves to filter content correctly. There are other platforms that have content for kids. Youtube never was a correct option, unless you yourself download videos beforehand to ensure their quality.
Please don't blindly trust things just because they say "it's aimed at children". Its still up to you, the parent/guardian, to actually make sure that it's acceptable content. Trusting an internet titan of a company to actually care or get it right is an enormously stupid idea, in my opinion.
