I just put on YouTube kids and let the algorithm take the wheel. What could go wrong?

If using on google tv, and you have Yt premium, Yt kids still show ads...(when Yt non kids does not show any ads). Plus my daughter found the most annoying whiny crybaby shows in her feed in Yt kids. Yt kids has now been removed from all devices. Regular YouTube with certain subscriptions/playlists are better

  > Yt kids still show ads Isn't that illegal in many areas? In the EU you basically can't target ads towards kids. That being say: YouTube Kids is generally terrible and there's little reason to prefer it over the regular YouTube.

      They aren't, more or less. Rules might be interpreted differently in different countries, but I think it mostly correct. What you can do is create something like Paw Patrol. The show is a product in its own right, but really it's a massive ad for their line of toys. You can also get catalogs from toy stores, I don't know if they are allowed to mail them out, or if they don't do it because of cost.

No education at all, extremely low quality of content. Please do not lose that precious time of a young human who can learn per day more than we the adults can learn per week for that hypnotizing no-brainers.
