Damn, when I was a kid we had to hunt around in the woods for our obscene material.

Looking under benches in parks worked well as well.

So Elsagate never stopped?
This has to be a state actor thing, nobody else has the resources to deploy such a long lasting and changing content farm.

According to the article, the videos feature nudity and possibly sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is unfortunately a fact of life, and it’s probably better that children recognise it, and see it condemned in the media they watch, than not know what it is at all. And you would have to be a puritan to think that children seeing naked people is somehow so terrible.

But their channels for children… not just random channels. There is a difference.

Imagine arguing that it’s actually good for kids to watch women being harassed. Peak incel.

If you bothered reading the very short article, it would be very clear that people are deliberately getting children subscribers than replacing the flow of new content with attempts to brainwash them or expose them to obscenity.

Ok I definitely get why you don’t want that content to be seen by children. I watched some of that shit.
But I also must say most of the scenes won’t be understood by children. However the overall content is bad and makes people dumb.
I am sure that you have children whose parents say, that’s a comic, nothing bad can happen there, watching that.
6 million views on that shit…

The whole: youtube has to be children friendly is the dumbest thing ever. If you let your children unsupervised browse YouTube you ar ea bad parent, if you let YouTube raise your children you are also a bad parent. Just because youtubers say frick, it’s not child friendly it’s annoying

Hard agree. Buy your kids DVD sets or pirate if you know how and limit their screen time.
Dropping kids in front of youtube is shitty patenting.

Kids ask for a YouTube show, I get to evaluate and then they get safe watching

Just like I got DVDs as a child, my kid would get a hard drive with approved material.
