That’s why I’ve blocked YouTube on all my kids devices. It’s just a pipeline of pure garbage content for kids.

There can absolutely be educational content for kids on YT, but compared to the egregious amount of mind-numbing/fetishy content, it’s totally not worth it. It’s a shame how there feels like a lack/decline of quality kids/tween TV shows being broadcasted, I was talking to my mom about how kids really don’t have a lot to watch once they hit age 9+.

In the time I allowed my kids to have YT kids, I did not encounter the content you speak of. I know there’s good content on YouTube, I watch it all the time. But I never saw anything good come up in the YouTube kids app. And we had it for a while.

Honestly their algorithm seems to mostly push low quality, South Asian, and/or AI generated content lately, when randomly playing off of something like Ms Rachel or Sesame Street. Nothing disgusting, although maybe a little trippy (in AI case). My daughter really digs the Bollywood inspired kids stuff though.
