Just block YouTube, your kids will find other things to do. If you find a good video then watch it with them on your device
My kid is still too young for YT and I’m not sure what age group you’re targeting but there’s a huge mass of people that do not like YT for the early years. And try to avoid it for as long as possible. I think this is a niche to tap into if you are interested in monetizing this as a better experience for these types of parents. This could be the toddler to 10+ just whenever parent decides to allow it but wants to do it in a controlled way. I don’t know if I’m in the minority, because I’m kind of
Knowing that that's what the kids are watching, why are you still allowing them to have access to YouTube?
You mean YouTube Kids has questionable content?
i had the same experience. my solution was to configure youtube kids to only show my whitelist of mannually approved videos.
Yes. YouTube kids in my experience wasn't enough - I didn't like the fact that it had recommendations of more videos to watch on the side, which allowed kids to move to another video every 10 seconds. Also, you need to manually block channels you don't like, so you keep discovering more channels when they've already watched them and it's too late.
youtube kids should have better addiction and content controls
FYI YouTube kids is not a safe place.
Youtube is not for kids; TOS does not allow it.
Your parents had youtube? The internet?Have you seen what kind of bait and switch content is on youtube? It can look like a children's show, but turn out to be something really creepy.If you think it's the job of parents to curate content, that's also fine, but youtube should allow for a feature that lets you whitelist content.It sounds like you had lovely parents, though. Congratulations.
