I just have to post this because I am soooooo tired of all the videos and stuff I see all over the internet about how dangerous YouTube Kids is. It isn’t! It’s actually fine! You don’t have to let your kids have access to aaaaaallllll of the videos! There is a whitelist feature! It’s literally part of the set up process! JFC! My children only have access to videos and channels I specifically chose for them! Like PBS Kids! Please spread the word so I can stop running into these goddamn fearmongering videos.
Wish this worked with regular Youtube and a child account. Youtube kids literally cuts-off access to 99% of the legit educational content on Youtube. Most of what remains accessible is near-Caillou-level garbage, which is honestly the stuff I wish I could keep my youngest away from the most.
This has been my issue trying to get bilingual channels registered, for some reason a lot of channels for one country aren’t allowed in YouTube kids in another.
Oh I agree. I wish it was just a standard youtube feature. My kids are young enough still that the educational content on youtube kids is engaging for them, though

It really is bad, I agree completely! The few good things are usually available elsewhere anyway.
