The first issue that pops into my mind is "community of parents curating content" doesn't scale. Or at least is hard to protect from bad actors injecting into the stream. The best way a group could maintain control would be to build a site with embedded YT videos, but YT would rather folks watch on their site with comments, engagements, and the ability to serve up Recommended links (plus easier tracking of user accounts and watching habits). And don't forget the Watch Next stuff popping up that will redirect them out of your curated garden back into the YT wildlands. And if it's only banner ads, those are much lower value for YT and advertisers. So you're fighting YT, and they intentionally don't give you the tools to build such a project to successful scale. And you can bet once one becomes semi-successful, others will quickly swoop in to exploit that market diluting the impact. In theory custom TY Playlists is how YT supports this curation on their site, but it's plagued with spammed algorithmic playlists associated with any semi-popular video trying to direct traffic towards their own content. YT's goals aren't to let groups curate a custom set of videos to then redistribute to others. It's to have users engage in an endless stream of content and maintain those sweet sweet watch times to get ad revenue. Yeah, YouTube has lots of great content, and can be a great creative outlet for many. It's the weird black holes of predatory folks that try to capture children's eyes for monetization that cause issues.
