This is monetizable for parents (or at least, highly needed). YouTube is terrible for child behavior as there are so many pranks and people screaming etc (in kids content) but there are a select few YouTubers who are really good for kids. For example our 10yo does well with: ZebraGamer, Half Asleep Chris, Mark Rober, Brick Experiment Channel, Ants Canada, etc. We have it locked down via safe app but it would be great to have this for the full home network with channels buttoned down.

Monetizing this would put YT-DLP in danger of having legal action taken against it, or at least being shut down.

What is “safe app”? Too generic to be googleable.

  On this same topic, I just launched an app that lets you use your offline videos in an interface that is easy to use for kids. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kaiserapps.kids_video_player https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kaiserapps... I stuck to a one-off payment, rather than the garbage subscription models all the other parenting apps use.

    What we find essential about safe vision is that the kid can search like normal but it's limited to the approved channels. With about 30 (highly curated) channels the kid can find a lot of safe content. It also generates an updated dashboard page from new stuff from all the creators, also essential. The offline thing has never come up for us. They do a yearly sub $29.99, happy to pay. Just an FYI.

      I'm quite curious how they go about licensing the content, maybe they just pay the creators a cut of the subscription fees. Or is it really just scraping youtube in some form? As for the search you mentioned, that might come into it for an older range, for my little ones they still can't read or spell yet, they just want to click on the thumbnail that looks the most engaging at any random time.
