To be fair, nostalgia in the eighties was mostly made of cheap, sweatshop-manufactured animated tv shows for the whole family, even if some of them do have wonderful animation bumps. Heheh.
I started really watching RU-vid at age 12 back in 2008, I actually lied about my age by a year on my original account to be able to properly use it. Yeah, I watched a lot of stuff my parents wouldn't have approved of like AVGN, RU-vid Poops full of cursing, Nu Metal songs and such. That said, that was pretty average for people my age, I'm glad my parents didn't have the technical know how to censor our internet and that RU-vid Kids didn't exist back then as I probably would have just quit using the site then. Also it seems like they have cleaned the Elsagate out of this app but that stuff was ironically more harmful than the edgy teenage stuff I was watching. Anyway, I'm never having kids but if I did I would be making them use this app and checking their watch history. I'd probably let them into normal RU-vid at 9-11 when they could be trusted more and wouldn't want to watch just straight up kids content anymore. That said, I would make playlists of decent stuff for them to watch of shows that actually have a brain like Sesame Street and similar stuff. Does PBS Kids have a decent app? Maybe I would also throw in that. Also honestly that Pokemon channel didn't seem so bad compared to these other channels.
I would do that but there’s a feature in normal RU-vid that allows you to not show inappropriate video for your account so I would just do that if I had my own kids
“Masha and the Bear,” which is produced by Moscow-based Animaccord Animation Studio, is loosely based on a children’s folk story of the same name. The show, which debuted in 2009, relays the adventures of a mischievous little girl named Masha and a retired circus bear who keeps her out of trouble. Thought the series was “conceived as a local project, tailored to the Russian audience,” according to Animaccord managing director Dmitry Loveyko, it has huge international appeal. About two-thirds of Animaccord’s RU-vid royalties come from views outside Russia, Loveyko said in 2016.
The one thing I hate about YT Kids is COPPA. As COPPA exists, I will hate RU-vid for it even if I'm still using it and if they remove the COPPA law from YT, then I'm cool.
What I don't get is that a lot of age-restricted videos and "General Audience" videos are marked made for kids. I've been sending the RU-vid team feedbacks regarding this, but they never responded back.
All you guys need to realize that COPPA was never designed to protect children, it was to protect pedophiles and if you think I’m lying look into the policies and see who really benefits.
but coppa is a law protecting kids from telling their information about it to everyone online. but the one thing that's really annoying is stuff that's "general audience" being marked as for kids. happened to my friend multiple times on gameplay videos. also a yt channel I heard of got his lets play marked as for kids when he literally SWEARED in it. I wish they didn't put it on regular yt as well.
While all the cool creators like MrBeast, Casey Neistat and Dude Perfect are at the YT table, YT Kids is the one that sits by themselves thinking they don’t need everybody else...when they do
To be honest, I feel bad for today's generation growing up with absolute weird, somewhat obscure nonsense like "Mommy/Daddy don't leave me Sonic sad story happy ending" and "(insert color here) vs (insert color here) mukbang Korean street food gummy eye fnf spongbob blah blah blah pop it among us tournament poppy playtime". It's sad that really popular stuff is being thrown in these out-of-context nonsensical cheaply animated sweatshop videos aimed at like, little kids or something. I feel like we're slowly going back up to 2017 RU-vid kids level with all that colorful shit that makes your eyes bleed out. I fear these videos if they still exist in the future. God, those poor kids.
I was once put in yt kids, got pulled into elsagate, Oh sh*t it was an acid trip. Anyways, I'm thankful I have common sense now. Mind you I was 6 years old when I watched this bs.
good thing this didn't exist when i was a child, i may have gotten nightmares and stumbled across some weird crap when i was younger, but it shaped me into the mental wreck of a teen i am today. 👍
8:11 I mean there was a show called Player Select where they got actual RU-vid videos and had creators like Coryxkenshin, Jacksepticeye, and more play games(there own videos). Though it failed due to being overly censored.
I'm glad that i was born in 1998 and i had great shows on TV that encouraged kids to go outside and use their imagination to create funny scenarios. I often pretend to be a knight who fights evil monsters with my friends back then. That was the best time to be a kid. (My opinion)
@@allegro446 (OOC: I regret nothing- partially because I heard people being nostalgic about old stuff so I went and played and did that stuff. almost all my favorite video games came out before I was born. thanks people back then for being nostalgic on RU-vid so I could see these old gems! am 11 btw.)
The scary stuffs were apparently allowed due to over-rided servers due to massive amounts of content being processed at any one time. I could be wrong, though.
2:35 lol I remember this when I was younger I found this with my sister and we were like SONIC!? So we spent hours watching a baby show, and couldn’t find Sonic What? 🦉
1:23 Let me tell you this. I used to watch Steve and Maggie when I was in first grade and this brings back so much nostalgia. Steve is the human, and Maggie is the bird. I remember the time where I learned that you can’t eat a drink, but you drink it.
Conner: Who the hell is Masha and the Bear? Masha and the Bear, has one of the most viewed vids on the platform: 👁👄👁 If it wasn’t obvious already, it’s a Russian animation. While not an official symbol of Russia (the double-headed eagle is), the Bear has been always used by the West to describe the country and overtime the Russians have embraced this schtick. Instead of the big clumsy mean bear stereotype, they countered with a cuddly one called Misha that they selected for the 1980 Summer Olympics
When he said that, I was laughing. Because as someone from the U.S., whose first language is Russian (my family is foreign). While I did watch some episodes of the English version. I do like the Russian version better.
@@thesupershinymegagengar2034 Masha is a Slavic name, she is wearing Slavic attire. And bears are attributed to Russia. I know all this because I am part-Russian. Very obvious but you live under a rock...or perhaps in a Pokeball in your case :) gringo.
If you think American RU-vid is weird, just wait till you see overseas/Japanese RU-vid. It’s weird to say the least. Also, Elsagate was a weird time… 2016 was weird… Ps. The music in the cocomelon vid kinda reminded me of tomodachi life. I could absolutely watch this without any guilt, I need to download just for my own amusement. Pokémon kids is pretty legit btw. That deserves its own video.
(OOC: Pokemon kids is legit, yes. And when I was 4 in 2016, I watched a whole LOT of Elsagate stuff. It's weird. now theres just a part of me that will never forget it.)
They should’ve just made another version of RU-vid, called RU-vid Gaming. It would be SOOOO much better. I NEED MY MEGA MAN, DARNIT! Maybe Some Metal Slug, just Retro Gaming in general, ya know?
Same, been a huge fan of Mega Man since pre-teens and pretty much loved retro games for my whole life. I would love if there was a RU-vid side hustle that dedicated itself to that, or maybe about animation and cartoons/anime but not exclusively modern-day kids cartoons like RU-vid Kids partially does. But regardless, there IS actually a RU-vid Gaming(called exactly that), or at least there used to be, but it was essentially just a hidden extra browser for the main site that let you search by whatever game videos are tagged as. It acted more as a tool for the main website instead of a demographic-oriented replacement like Kids
@@kaiserschlachtfelder (OOC: I'm 11 and I guess I'm not a little kid lol. my parents showed me their favorite cartoons and games from back then and I'm so thankful I watched pinky and the brain while playing monkey island instead of this crap. though ive always been the only kid with common sense... other than maybe my bff. I'm not that smart, all the other kids my age are too weird and cringe. that's not an insult to the kids, it's to the people who allow them to be this way.
My little brother used to be so kind and innocent and always loved playing with his toys. Until, he started becoming obsessed with the tablet. I caught him watching these battle games where it shows blood and other stuff that is not made for 3 year olds.
Reminds me of when I was around 13 and my youngest brother was 4, we were on a camping trip and my youngest brother started playing this weird zombie game on his tablet I remember the game had a bunch of blood and gore in it Thankfully we made him delete it
I was born in Russia and grown up watching Masha and the bear if that's what you call it in US. It is actually a Russian cartoon for kids. I never thought they made an American version... It's kind of weird hearing the characters talk on English...
Are you kidding me, slavic kids LOVED Masha and the Bear! It plays on the kids' TV channels ALL. THE. TIME and honestly? The animation is good and, sure, the humor is for kids, but it's 100x better than most of the stuff on RU-vid Kids...
(OOC: Masha and the bear, as well as the amazing world of gumball, are some great cartoons. the latter has way darker humor and is for 10+ (I watched it at 6, when I was mentally 9/10) but it saved me from YT kids so why not? now I'm 11 and animating (GOOD fan animations with actually story and care, not... whatever the heck is on yt kids.))
Recently I've been watching videos of documentaries on disasters like the 1986 Chernobyl and 1984 Bhopal disasters, as well as videos such as the 1915 Quintinshill rail disaster from TunderBolt1000, and I've gotta say.... those videos are much more family friendly than whatever the hell youtube allows on RU-vid kids. Also (Ive commented this in another rant video about YT Kids), when I was young (Most likely around the age of 8 or 9 [Im now 18 years old]), I remember watching a video of a dub for a Mario themed comic on DeviantArt called "Cake in the oven", the main synopsis of the comic is that Princess Toadstool is pregnant, (This must have been sometime in 2013), and I have to say, those videos never bothered me in any way, maybe because the comic and the creators of the dub were people who were not at all interested only in money.
It was NBC's Kids news. That was in the older kids section, kids that age will know about it, they will see their parents watching it on the news and they will probably hear about it in school some. Now would a kid actually go out of their way to watch it? Probably not, they would probably just find it boring. For example I felt the same way about the War in Afghanistan and Iraq until I was 15 or so.
When I had to use it during middle school (my parents were protective). The only thing I would watch is minecraft and Baking. I was freaked out about everything else.
when my parents finally let me use youtube I was about 5 years old and guess which channel I watched all the time. smosh, I would watch it secretly with headphones on because they obviously didn't want me watching it
That baby Sonic in this video’s thumbnail tho… I think content farmers have discovered a new way to make Elsagate videos, except it’s not ELSAgate, it’s SONICgate.
@@SLINGSH07 (OOC: I'm 11 and I grew up with old dora, the first seasons of the pokemon anime, pinky and the brain, and gumball. most of my favorite games came out before I was born. old stuff > new stuff useally (some exceptions).)
The only thing I hate about RU-vid Kids is that RU-vid videos that use a certain theme that is related to children can get in RU-vid Kids even if it isn't a kid-friendly video, and it's not even because of the creator, but RU-vid itself. Basicaly, a video can randomly get classificated as "For Children" and the creator cannot do anything about it. Well yes, you can classificate a video as "For Children" if you want but same if you classificated as "Not For Children" RU-vid can auto-classificate as "For Children" simply because a video uses a theme that is somehow related to children, even if the video isn't kid-friendly. This can cause problems to the creator as videos classificated as "For Children" are harder to get in your recomended section and it blocks comments.
I agree when people say that Connor was blessed to never hear of cocomelon, it is literally a mind control device for toddlers. Also I will forever hate most modern kids content, key word "most" as I heard their are some gems hiding in the garbage. Let me know if there are good modern kids media, whether it's a TV show or film.
The amazing world of gumball is really an amazing cartoon. There are both funny episodes and touching ones (such as, for example, where Nicole met her parents after a years, Or the episode where Richard met his father, who left from family .) (I don't know English, so I use Google translator, sorry if there are mistakes here, Google translator is extremely bad)
