I think you got it backwards. What are some categories an adult would never watch? Fucking Does the Explorer and Blues Clues and the like. Although it's very likely they just play it from their account for their kids.

So, if you’re a child, watch some videos about budgeting, maybe a few cooking videos?
I dunno, what are some categories of video no youth would ever watch?

I regularly watch kids shows in Korean. Not because I’m a Korean baby, but because it’s a lower level vocabulary to learn the language
Atropos@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Hmm seems suspicious.
Can you prove you’re not a Korean baby?

You do realize that there are a ton of adult fans for kids shows and games right? How quickly the bronies are forgotten with everything happening in the world.

There are many reasons why mentally mature people also find an interest in content designed for immature minds. The first of which that I can list, in regards to My Little Pony, especially Generation 4, is:
- That kids shows are chock full of moral lessons that everyone can benefit from.
- MLP may have more compelling drama plots per episode compared to ‘adult’ soap operas.
- The desire for a fantastical escape from a world that’s becoming increasingly negative.
- Psychologically I suspect the characters or settings were very relatable, perhaps in terms of innate desire to:
- Fit in (Twilight)
- Be happier and less depressed (Pinkie)
- Be useful to society/have a loving family (Applejack)
- Be peaceful/coexist with animals (Fluttershy)
- Be popular/cool/more confident (Rainbow)
- Have self-pride/be helpful to friends (Rarity)
- The fantastical idea that conflicts can be solved without violence.

Adults arent watching cocomelon or aphmau

Maybe not, but I’m gonna bet most aren’t taking the time or effort just to make a separate account for their child. Or even if they did, that the child is checking to make sure they use that account and not their parents. There’s going to be a lot of overlap.

They’re looking for people under 13 I assume.
In other words, I think that’s the diving line. So I don’t think 12 year olds are budgeting.
Lyra_Lycan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Makes sense, as all services I’ve encountered that mention age in regards to data collecting imply that it’s illegal to harvest those under 13. Mobile games and other services would not harvest data if you state your age as well below 13, but the increasingly vast majority just say “we will be harvesting you; by clicking this button you confirm that you are over 13 years of age…”

Vanlife videos, cooking shows, and politics should make YouTube believe you’re an adult. But hell I subscribe to gaming channels, with watching gamers play games. Will that get me labeled a child.
atomp@piefed.zip 2 months ago
It's interesting that you mention the gaming thing, I've realised recently that I'm still watching the same folks I was 10 years ago, so it's really content by millennials for millennials - not a child thing like I'm used to assuming. It does come in part because if I mention YouTube to a younger person I get a blank look when I say who I watch.

I watch videos about Sierra games, nobody below the age of 30 played those

Define Sierra games? They’ve certainly published bangers this century too (NOLF) and even developed some (SWAT 3)

Yeah I mean look how long Markplier been on YouTube it’s crazy. I been on YouTube since early part of 2006. And it what only 20 years old? That mean we have kids who used YouTube who are now grown ups. So this is crap. I remember following Lisa Nova, and watching crazy vine videos. 5secondfilms. Along with gaming videos. I even have posted videos myself. Plan on doing it again soon too.
