You're speaking of a specific instance and declaring all instances bad. This is unhelpful. If that specific video exists and if it's common, this conversation could be had; but, it's relatively uncommon, making it a surprise. The real answer, as someone else has alluded to, is that YouTube is something that parents should watch or be aware of with their children. There is a great deal of valuable information on YouTube and cancelling it wholesale is absolutely the wrong approach.

You realize that this comment section is in response to a story where YouTube is suspending educational content, right? Someone else already mentioned Elsagate which is still an ongoing problem as noted by the GP. YouTube is not interested in providing healthy material, which is not surprising since they are owned by the world's largest advertising company. I would advocate that parents should look for better alternatives altogether rather than use it as source of education or entertainment, even with supervision. It's simply the wrong place to go for that sort of thing.
