Daytime TV is at least somewhat regulated by the FCC. Youtube is not, to my knowledge. > This is basically the all-American argument of "sure, the advertising is a complete lie but it's the consumer's fault for being gullible". No, it's your fault for believing advertising in the first place. I only judge youtube through my personal knowledge and experience of using it for the last 6+ years. Just because someone, or a PR team, says "it's for kids!" does NOT mean it's quality programming or acceptable content. That is your responsibility to determine, as a parent or guardian. Do not blame youtube when you know that it is a website where anyone can upload anything. And it's run by a company that thinks ML algorithms can filter videos adequately. No, this is lazy parenting, just blindly trusting a corporation to actually do things right, when they're not even regulated adequately. Nothing is stopping you from downloading videos beforehand, or finding better content platforms or content producers, like PBS. This is you throwing up your hands in the air and wanting to shift blame to a corporation when you didn't take the time or effort to screen things before putting your kids in front of a screen + opaque algorithm.
