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.
Some of the kid shows that aren’t suggestive or woke have other problems such as materialism. Some kid shows on YouTube are pushing unrealistic rich lifestyles and are advertising products in the show. The useful aspect to books and shows aimed toward children is that the is a moral to the story—a lesson learned that is clearly explained. Content producers on YouTube are incentivized to maximize monetary earnings through views and product pushing. They are not incentivized to teach good values and morals.
