The way they handle YouTube Kids is bizarre, the YT moderators can unilaterally decide that a channel is appropriate for kids with no easy way for the channel owner to contest that decision. That's repeatedly led to adult-oriented animations and mature parodies of kids shows getting the official YouTube Kids seal of approval against the wishes of the actual creator.
Maybe I'm being too generous by assuming there are moderators making the decisions, it's probably an algorithm.
- Tomte 2y agoYouTube Kids is bizarre in many ways. Why can‘t I add such a video to a play list (or at least „watch later“), if it‘s marked as for children?
- cholantesh 2y agoAnd why can't I play the audio in the background? These decisions make zero sense.
- jsheard 2y agoThat's deliberate, they do let you play audio in the background if you pay for YT Premium. I think hacked clients like ReVanced can enable it for free.
- cholantesh 2y agoYeah I use revanced, but find that if I minimize the video, it pauses; I don't have this issue with other vids. I need to switch focus out of the app entirely to actually get it to continue playing.
