This exactly.
But to be honest, maybe this is an opportunity to create some kind of maturity level standard, where content shouldn't be above a set threshold, regardless of source. On YouTube For Kids, it would be lower than regular YouTube, which would be lower than RedTube. Advertising would be compelled to build in functionality that checks a page's threshold and serves ads that match.
I'm not saying I agree with the idea, just putting it out there.
- point78 7y agoSee my reply above. Content designed and marketed to children nowhere else has 18+ advertisements. Same standard should (and has to imo) be applied to "new" media.
- derefr 7y agoThat's because nobody else (in the streaming video space) is trying to serve ads based on who's watching the content. YouTube is in a different advertising market that nobody else has yet attempted to enter.
- point78 7y agoWhen it comes to children's programming...it shouldn't be based on who's watching, it should be based on if the content itself is designed for children or not and serve ads accordingly. That's what every advertising platform does...
