If YouTube is going the OF route, then it needs to lock such content behind an age consent wall. Advertising also needs to be regulated because again, people talk "watching your kids" as if it's the 90s.

Channels that are set as kids channels, don't make ad revenue. So many of these channels mark themselves as not for kids while making kid focus content and throw in adult jokes and themes into their content so youtube doesn't set them as a kids channel.

People are blatantly abusing youtube's system to make money off of kids.

This whole "parents need to be watching their what their kids watch" sounds good in theory, but often parents have their own stuff they need to do and can't spend every waking moment making sure the videos a kid is watching is friendly when people are going through such lengths to skirt around systems in place to protect children in the first place.

Plus sites do exist for the kind of content people clearly want, youtube does not have to be a space for it as well.
