It also swings the other way. Young boys are getting red pilled by YouTubers and influencers like Andrew Tate and his ilk, and I would prefer those kids to learn who they are and how they relate to and fit into their community before being exposed to that sort of toxic content.
As others have said here though, the right tact here would have probably been to legislate away the algorithmic content feeds themselves instead of regulating kids having accounts. YouTube will still push related videos without an account, so I don’t see how this particular route helps at all.

No it doesn’t, all redpillers do is posture. TERFs are actually out to get you

Redpillers might be posturing, but the people who consume it believe it and allow it to influences their behavior and beliefs. Both things can be toxic scourges that need to be stamped out, we’re both (probably) on the same side here.
