That's all well and good, but YouTube Kids lacks the TOOLS that parents need to help protect their children from the junk.
The problem is that there's no money to be made from curation and high costs in doing so, therefore Google/YouTube simply does the bare minimum to avoid critique.
You can ban individual videos and even channels, but this "solution" scales poorly with near infinite videos/channels, much of it unsuitable for your parenting goals.
I agree that there is some fantastic content on the platform, but it is like a 5:1 thing between trash:quality. That's a problem.
- trentnix 6y agoI have no interest in Youtube (or the government) deciding what is suitable and unsuitable. They've both failed miserably at similar efforts elsewhere. I can get behind the idea that I'd like better tools to monitor and curate the video content being streamed to my kids. I'd even be willing to pay for it! But I am not compelled at all that government needs to do something.
