It's not being talked about right this moment because a bunch of people have done research and seeked legal counsel and have concluded that this isn't the apocalypse that it's been hyped up to be. It's still cause for concern because making videos strictly for kids is just not gonna be a lucrative business anymore (so channels like Ryan's World are screwed, pretty much), thus hurting kids' content to the point where all they will see IS the more mature videos (like how weekend morning cartoon blocks effectively got the can in place of news and more mature shows). But the majority of content creators shouldn't be affected. And if you do get struck with a fee that you felt wasn't earned you can always legally fight it. But that'll be few and far between.

I do think this new system should be reworked a bit because it'll do the exact opposite of protecting children, but again, it's not an apocalypse for everybody on Youtube. Even FTC members say that there's lots of content on Youtube that is family friendly that will not be considered on the "for kids" spectrum. So all that will be safe. And besides, Youtube and Google caused all this to happen in the first place due to allowing data collection to be done on children's videos. That's shady as all hell.
FTC said clealr that they will target and hunt down content creators, and their definition of what is for kids is so vague so nothing is safe.
It doesnt matter if your video is about a childrens toy or an expensive collectors item, if it looks like a toy for somebody that dont know anything about it, it will be a toy and thereby for kids.
Is it animated? Then it is a cartoon and thereby for kids. It doesnt matter if it is a South Park clip of Randy killing Winnie the Pooh, it is a vartoon and thereby for kids.
Videogame? For kids. ESRB rating doesnt matter, it is for kids.
Fantasy? For kids. Doesnt matter if it is Games of Thrones, it is fantasy and thereby for kids.

Like I mentioned, they'd basically be going after 99% of Japanese media. I doubt Japan will be willing to allow that to stand.
