Ads are only half the problem. The real problem with kids using YouTube is it's too easy for them to access any of the content on the platform. If I could pay YouTube for the privilege of using an app where I choose exactly which videos are available, and no other video will ever appear on or can be accessed from that app, then I might pay for it. IMO the only way YouTube can be kid-friendly is if there is an app where the primary utility is the ability to whitelist on a per video basis. There could be convenience methods like whitelisting an entire channel's videos with one action, but the whitelist needs to be built around a per video model. Last I checked, they had nothing remotely like this as an option.
