I know I'm probably late and I know that COPPA did a number to the site, but this is new to me.

Unrelated, but I learned today that your channel has to have at least 1000 subscriptions and at least 4000 hours watched in the previous week in order to be monetized. Which means at absolute minimum, all 1000 subscribers have to watch your channel for four hours.

I'm never getting that.

Seems a bit silly to implement these on the main site when Youtube Kids exists.

I honestly have no idea what Youtube is trying to appeal to. Pretty much no one likes their bimonthly UI changes and removals of features. Who are they even trying to appeal to?

I don't know if YouTube "fixed" this workaround, but you'd be able to add them to your playlists anyways if you did it through the search list rather than the actual video URL

Sometimes their algorithm gets confused. I've seen videos listed as for kids that had f bombs in them. I think one time I watched a mature parody of some old cartoon. And youtube thought it was for kids.

I think it's funny how pretty much any anime clip is "for kids" even if they're super serious with violence and such. I guess it's the typical "cartoon = kids" line of thinking. It's a shame how the comments are turned off for them.

YouTube is run by a whole bunch of dumb algorithms

Same with Google in general really, the developer for Terraria just cancelled plans for a Stadia port because his account got banned by the algorithm

Oh yeah, they also recently just disabled all comments on song videos on those "Topic" channels and many other Soundtrack channels for seemingly no reason.

Has Google made a statement about that btw? I heard about that. When I heard about it, he was still unable to reach anyone at Google. Like they were ignoring him

Yeah, I hate this as well. I'm watching interesting clips from shows and sometimes I like reading people's reactions to them. But half the time, the comments are disabled.

wtf when did they make Nyan Cat youtube kids?
Incidentally, Youtube's collapse began right about the time Nyan Cat's custom rainbow time-bar vanished.

Yeah this sucks. It was really nice hearing about other similar songs from users.

Or what movies and scenes a song might be played in. Honestly, I believe all the bad flack youtube comments got were mainly mitigated by the upvote downvote system on most videos while the videos it doesn't work for are political videos and those still have their comments.
