Just thought I would share.. while I’m sure almost everyone here is aware YouTube is poison.. a family member got my daughter a kids tablet that is mainly math and reading games, and just other games you can play.. however kids YouTube is an app on this device.. so I clicked on it to see what it had on there.
For the kids YouTube age 9-12 setting, the very first video was explaining genders… the first damn vidoe.
If you look at the ages 5-8 setting it didn’t populate on the main page, but if you searched the word “gender” about 75% of the videos were gender reveal parties, but you better believe the other 25% were explaining genders, the genders of different cultures, names and genders don’t always match..
Anyways, I was disgusted.. and while I assume most here would automatically shut down any form of YouTube, the “kids YouTube” is just another indoctrination tool. This crap should be illegal.
You should proactively teach it not to show that content. If you use the feature to tell it you are not interested in that content it will stop showing it. On the TV app I just hold down the select button and it brings up the options such as "Save", "Go to Channel" and one option is "Not Interested".
Once you have done this a bunch of times it will stop showing that type of content.
