Why We Need To Talk About The Insane YouTube Kids Problem…  

Philip DeFranco I watched it too. Really good show

Yeah I watch it due to my sister, for 2 hours

I Love Paw Patrol.

Philip DeFranco Me too mate. It’s so relaxing to watch it with my younger sister.

You just was doing your research on the show lmao

JamesBacha this is actually a really good idea

I thought that this was how they did it in the first place- it’s the only sensible way to do it though. I hope they start doing this- that they do a whole entire overhaul.

JamesBacha The only thing I would worry about is someone buying said account and posting videos to it. There’s actually quite a few dead accounts that were hacked and have Elsagate videos now or ones that have 1 popular video, no activity for years then Elsagate videos.

This is the correct solution. It's such a ludicrously simple problem to solve. They can even throw their algorithm at the approval process to cut down on bad actors trying to get through but every channel that gets through should have a person who is accountable for its existence.

ZeiaZeh after a period of inactivity just blacklist the channel and whitelist their existing content

RU-vid is massively incompetent. Nothing new there.

the Algorithm DOES NOT WORK

Bobby Duke Arts RU-vid’s days are numbered

H3H3 did a video on this like a year ago! Maybe even longer. RU-vid doesn't watch their own shit. I get don't get high on your own supply but you gotta test the product to make sure it's pure.

That's the system you're signing up to. It is exploitable. Until one day when we have good enough software to get closer to being 100% correct, which will take atleast a few years.

Rainbow-Unicorn-Teaparty. Lol ikr

XD ye but srsly.

Rainbow-Unicorn-Teaparty. really though. My parents plopped me in front of the tv as well, but I was usually watching G to PG content. The worst I ever watched was a few episodes of The Simpsons.

My mom would be furious if my brother and I, or now even our kids, were to watch that type of stuff. We weren't allowed to watch The Simpsons, King of the Hill, any adult swim, or other late night TV shows unless it was Fresh Prince or The Nanny or whatever. My response to those who get defensive would be like, "so you're okay with them watching that? You'd rather let an electronic baby sit your kid rather than know what they're doing?" Kids being quiet usually equals them getting into something...

I know exactly how that feels. I work at Disney and I get families like you described. While parents looked around and did whatever the kids would be in their strollers glued to an iPad or their parents phones and would look up this garbage. It can range from surprise egg cringe to the joker kidnapping Rapunzel and jabbing a syringe on her hand. The sad part is that I mostly get the “you’re not a parent, you don’t get to tell my child when he can or can’t watch!” bull crap.

YES OMG FINALY SOMEONE GETS IT

It gave me nightmares not even joking

Also this update they did in December i read commemts in some videos now because of this dumb RU-vid kids

Then the algorithm just lumped anything it thought was "kids-centric" into the mix, like clips of the English dub of Ghost Stories. Because there's no way a cartoon could be for not kids! Family entertainment is defaulted to kids, like the Animaniacs songs, ultimately leading to entire playlists being deleted for the crime of being approachable by kids. I get the point of it, but good god, algorithms aren't the all-solution, Google, Jesus H Christmas.

Even im afraid......

"Grooming videos", riiiiight. Because predators are going to monitor which kids watch the videos and go to those specific kids' houses. You may now remove your tin foil hat; your brains have been cooked to a nice consistency and are ready to be served with braised carrots and a side of potatoes.

HarpsiFizz it's not about targeting specific children, it's about normalising behaviour that is clearly predetory in nature. The more children familiar with it, the easier it is to get close to individual children.

Grooming videos to what? Dressing up as a Disney princess and going on a rampage killing Minions merchandise?

Genevieve and Kenji, HarpsiFizz already spoke about tin foil hats so obviously he's very smart and knows everything without even having to bother to think things through.

Cruxal be nice of the subreddit went all out on flagging it.

Top10Archive lmao truth

More like RU-vidrs like idubbbztv or filthyfranktv

Got 'em.

lol

Reminds me of vegeta's cooler moment..

That guy With dat laptop ain't that the truth

That guy With dat laptop your comment made me laugh more then I should’ve.

"Seemingly innocent children's videos" so much wrong with that phrase. It should be "Cashgrab fetish fueled channels, for kids".

Yea i saw a video of spiderman and a clown vaping

If y’all are really in it for the kids and not just profiting from them then you should be ok with it it.

I agree that the RU-vid admin is extremely corrupt and they need to acknowledge what mistakes their doing and improve themselves.

Cocomelon, "Toys and Colors", Clad and Nikita, Blippi Toys, BabyBus, and CKN Toys are destroying RU-vid. They need to be erased!

They are busy demonetizing political videos and removing harmless educational videos, no time to look at what the kids are watching!

Seriously. H3H3 has been covering this for a while. RU-vid should be ashamed

it is made to promote pedo culture, watching cartoon girls get abused gets them off.

DigitalImpostor agreed!

DigitalImpostor We downloaded RU-vid Kids and by evening it was uninstalled. My oldest was decent at managing what to watch, but my little one was off in strange stuff waaasy too fast.

Once we take out these channels, we’re heading for their app

Google thinks they know best since we use google everyday anyway.

We’re about to fight the app and we will win

“B-but it’s not as simple as that!”

People do that so the their kid will shut up.

The Mysterious exactly. How about actually being a parent like they used to have to be?

Geoffrey I don't know. But I do that I won't have kids.

Do you have kids?

BA3Y R1S Boys like Spiderman, Girls like Elsa, that way both genders are interested in it.

Hold same. I hated frozen in general but Spider-Man was and still is my favorite superhero. These videos need to stop!

Matt Wolf Lol ik this is old buuuut... I’m a girl and I like Spider-Man 😂 and I’m not a fan of Elsa XD

It depends on the person's favorites. A person can like elsa or spider-man, by any gender.

@@Coffeexcake05 Lol, I'm a male and I like so much Elsa xd

P.s we'll maybe decide to deal with it in 4 years ciao

yep

Game Vault it literally is not, regular RU-vid has even had porn on it lol

Still has :)

ReZisT Lust if you try hard enough you can find anything on the internet... even youtube

Lunerian Do you mean "if you try hard enough you can find youtube on the internet" or "if you try hard enough you can find anything ON youtube"? Your comment is confusing

Eli N.S it's ok, you tried, you'll get there little buddy

Or a toy or something that is appropriate to children....

Or tell'em to go outside and play. For working parents just simply send their children to either a relative's house or daycare. Who needs RU-vid

@@t.f.r287 you have a point.

@Jack send her to a daycare if she's an infant, orelse train her to not watch yt kids

or go outside (if its safe) or they could simply watch tv

Mega pixel Then stop him it's not that hard even if you get yelled at DO SOMETHING

Putting a password won’t do anything, it will only prevent them from signing into a RU-vid account. They’re still able to watch videos even if they don’t have an account.

This is sick I have a son and I won't let him go onto RU-vid kids. I would rather let him go onto RU-vid

@@dookie7299 I don't want to sound offensive, but honestly you shouldn't let him into any of these platforms.

It’s disturbing that RU-vid is less disturbing than RU-vid kids because of this.

theokchannel my thought exactly

OH MY GOD PHILP DEFRANCO SCAMMING EXPOSED CONFIRMED. lol.

We can have nice things... like censorship!

Torsten J haha that made me laugh

theokchannel Truer words haven't been said

NastyTracks Lol

you put caps on video titles? ugh

Ikr, me too and I draw animals

You fucking monster

Scribbles Scribbles I agree with you, but most parents are clueless about this kind of thing. The majority of the parents of young children that I’ve babysat have allowed their children to freely roam around RU-vid. It’s really shocking and terrible what children can stumble upon on this website.

My niece clicks off the playlist. We’ve tried playlists.

That would require them to actually pay attention

That Scottish Fur best solution

Yeah but they could also try this revolutionary thing called parenting! Don't get me wrong I'm not calling anyone a bad parent! But apps do not and *cannot* replace a mother or father minding their children!! NOTHING will ever replace parents who watch what their little ones are watching (or doing) online!

through her hands!

Jonty Lewis oh my God that's how they make their video thumbnails!

a hay in a needle stack

dearhoneylemon your going to need a big magnet to find that one straw of hay. ;-;

Epic Derp That's a neddlestack.

stalewich Exactly what I was going to say...

stalewich Maybe they've been running 2 algorithms. Only they used the wrong ones on the wrong thing. The children's in the main and the main on the children's. XD

Or charity videos are demonitized for mentioning disasters, or news and important video evidence is removed from the site for showing bad content, meanwhile "Elsa gives hulk a blowjob" goes unnoticed

#thetolerantleft

Philip DeFranco oh lawdy, I love this kind of IRL big-name drama you bring to us common folk.

Hay through needle stack

To some of the kids that watched this video of paw patrol family in a car crash can cause really intense mental illness, anxiety, and fear.

Michelle Yang lol yeah right, pay them a lot and then they will

Put in a bag and get your shit together. I don't care if you take it to a shit museum just get your shit together. Get your shit together.

Michelle Yang daddy o five is back, the disfunctional abusive family that blamed Phil for everything Yea RU-vid doesn't care about them being back, and still abusing children

tarrker These vids are optimised to show up on RU-vid Kids.

Oh

I’m late to this comment but I just did too. Seriously, as a kid, I was on regular RU-vid and I saw some smg4 but that was about it. Nothing even close to the hellhole that is RU-vid kids.

zammmerjammer Agreed. It's so simple yet why are they not doing it for such a terrible problem.

zammmerjammer great minds think alike! it seems as though this should be as clear as day..

zammmerjammer I agree this is a good idea if there going to have a safe kids app they them self need to filter the vids

zammmerjammer kind of like the Twitter “verified” banner but for kid friendly RU-vid channels.

@RU-vid hire this guy

I am amazing it didnt come up sooner. Pewdiepie, LeafyisHere and many others did videos about it about a year ago. Thought there was already enough awareness around it

The issue is not really the monetization of the videos. The real issue is the fact that this looks like an orchestrated campaign aimed at young children.

youtube isn’t going to do shit; they don’t care. all they care about is watch time and profit

bighands69 it is, look up pizzagate. it’s getting out of Control Pedophiles coming out, asking to be accepted in society.

Ikr

I think horror videos should have warning someone (description or the actual video) but I agree things are demonetized for all the wrong reasons

RU-vid’s broken

I love Shawn woods

@@fionn9852 i really hate horror videos, i wanna shoot them

Melanie Murphy hi

Melanie Murphy Right? This needed addressing!! I also love your videos!! 💚

I didn't even know about this(I don't have kids)...it's utterly disgusting and RU-vid needs to be more vigilant and not let children be able to view this stuff...let kids be kids for god's sake,sheesh.....

And one question...if Susan Wojcicki quits RU-vid, then why not have Hiroshi Fujioka as Segata Sanshiro in charge for a Day?

It's still your responsibility to conduct your own due diligence on the school's curriculum.

Damien Martinez Did you even read what I wrote? It's not part of the curriculum. The schools just give the kids access to tablets and let them watch videos on RU-vid Kids if they finish all their work. How could RU-vid be part of the curriculum?

Wait schools let kids watch this crap? What happened to good old educational shows on DVD or even VHS?

Dude, that went out the window with the Millennials. Being in grade school around 2001 put an end to that sort of system. I was one of the last classes that got to see decent shows about educational stuff like Bill Nye and shit.

Yikes those are stupid schools if they allow students to watch RU-vid Kids under any kind of circumstances.

Confused Witchy Woman but that would require effort.

But the whole thing now is kids have SO many ways to get online, not just at a computer. And you cannot ALWAYS be on top of your kid. Parents should be able to trust youtubekids to not be THIS HORRIBLE!

hoffy1138 Agreed that it is the parents responsibility to protect the kids, but that does not excuse RU-vid's responsibility to deliver content in line with the "safe for kids" ideal which people are clearly agreeing they have failed to do.

hoffy1138 true

Not going to lie, because of the internet, it opened up my mind that politics and media tries to hide from the common people. So, because of that, and knowing specific people who do such things -- you go and realize how much bullshit and evil are in this world. Especially politics.

The odds of them finding those videos accidentally are slim at best

Pillsbury DoughBane what’s sad is that H3H3 was covering this a year ago

I am surprised this is so far down - first thing that I thought of - these are the Bradbury brothers!!!! I am Effan Bradbury! I would say though, Difranco is putting a good spin on this. It will be good for H3H3 and the whole RU-vid community if Google puts some human eyes on the highly watched content. More importantly, audits that provide algorithmic feedback to the system and improve AI. That is extra investment, but likely well spent....

Reignbot was talking about already too.

I've also seen videos from other youtubers talking about this too, this was not a secret, not even remotely. There is a massive market for videos among kids. Really pathetic that advertisers all got so upset over some random video of hate speech but did crap when it came to the horribly inappropriate advertising.

Shane Dawson talked about it too. He contacted RU-vid about it but I don’t think much happened.

@@melon.the.felon2 Oh your 10. Me too.

@@inspector_yasmin me too!

Is that a joke, or is there actually a manga for that?

dapy loooooooool

Brendan Philbrick issa joke

I bet you haven't even read the original light novel

The manga was good the end was satisfying but a little anti climatic.

The RU-vid Kids app is supposed to be videos specifically for kids though.

True plus if they want to make youtube for kids it Should be restricted and an actual human being review it

Jacadamia I agree fully

ROADMASTER 97 yeah if one of reported enough and is this clear just shut down the entire channel

Andy Brice exactly, and since youtube kids isnt even safe for kids at all it's false advertising on their part. If it's impossible to 100% ensure it's safe for kids it shouldn't exist at all tbh.

These were my thoughts exactly! Parents should know damn well that the internet is not safe to give to a child unprotected and should be used sparingly.

I agree ! They should let their children have some fun at the park or with other neighbor kids, go to the library and read books ! And not have them on the internet just to shut them up ! It's time for those parents to start learning there are other ways to keep a kid entertained maybe they should sit down with their kids and tell them stories or put a movie they liked when they were a child, enough of letting them be unsupervised!

I totally agree. And to be fair it's totally ok to give them short amounts of internet time. I'm not against it completely. It's just when it becomes the babysitter and when they dont supervise their time on it that I have a problem. Especially as the kid gets older and they learn how to use the devices better, who knows what websites they could end up on. Just not safe!

Things change. It isn't 1960 anymore.

Okay but it’s not back in your day anymore. Instead of complaining about the times, we should get with them in order to protect our children. Kids like screens. Okay. Now let’s make these screens safe for them.

Spot-on!

Jackson Furlong Exactly turn on PBS Kids, go outside with them. RU-vid is no place for young children.

No u

@@sebastianoliver7807 it issss

Screw flashback

Puggernaut TrillTraks that 4 year old is smart

Heart breaking..

These people are messed up...

Puggernaut TrillTraks poor thing

Kivan This is exactly what happened in our family. I would let my son watch children's mine craft videos while I cook. I heard crazy noises and came in and saw mine craft porn (weirdly violent minecraft porn. But everyone was happy?) My son, age 6, didn't understand what was happening in the videos and didn't understand why I was being such a "mean mom" for totally locking down RU-vid. The worst part is when I went back and reviewed the history,... if that one show hadsnt caught my attention Idk how much longer it would have gone on. Mind you I don't cook super elaborate meals. 30-40 mins I was sick to my stomach We as parents can't become complacent! Nothing is "safe" unless we are there with him

Honestly, how apple convinced everyone "Ipads are educational" is beyond me. We just sort of followed other parents into the trap because everyone does it. Biggest mistake ever. The kids just get addicted to them, and it's all unregulated. At least if you buy kids games in shops, and watch kids shows on TV some regulator has said that's ok. Most of these "educational games" are actually just educating kids how to play freemium games on an ipad and nothing else, and youtube's just an unregualted version of kids TV where half the videos are often made by people I wouldn't trust to babysit my kids at all. To be honest though, it's just the addiction. It's so bad, and it comes on so fast. All of a sudden they're begging for ipads, it takes ages to get them off, etc. The negative effect was huge on our kids and it had absolutely no plus side. Some parents have said there's less fights if they each have their own ipad. I just found there were more fights about ipads, and less social kids.

This happened to me not so long ago. My little sister fell asleep with her tablet and like usually I go through her RU-vid history and I found this one video she was on called "Sims love story" and I was thinking to myself "hm... seems okay..." Oh my god I could not be anymore worse! I fastfowars to the middle and these Sims where NOT being PG 13!!! No matter how safe people can be, slimy snakes will always find a way to show their videos...

maybe I am being a little harsh but to me abandoning your kids in front of a screen is lazy parenting. As a parent, nothing should be more important to you than your kids well being and success in life, and there are so many alternatives to entertaining and educating a kid than just putting them on the internet. When we are young, we have an extraordinary capacity to learn almost anything because our brains are still fresh in a sense. Give your kids an instrument from an early age (not to early though) and they will play and love it. There are also tons of interesting toys out there that they could use as well. If the screen is really that attractive at least make them play a nice video game (all Nintendos are family friendly). Don't put them in front of a screen doing NOTHING, it numbs their brains. Playing, especially playing videos games and musical instruments, develops their problem-solving abilities, perception and even originality and reflexes. When I was younger, that's what my parents did. They worked a lot but they made sure that I would't just be a slave to our screens. As dumb as it may sound I spend more hours playing with legos than watching TV, more hours playing piano than exploring the internet. And even when I was watching TV, especially in the evening, they would be around, often checking if the content was ok and they would even argue over it until I turned 14. My mom was often against any kind of violence on TV while my dad was like "but it's fun, honey!" 😅 (come on my mom, Naruto isn't THAT violent!!! It's just kids learning how to fight enemies of their village, but you make it sound bad, like GAAAAWDD you are always exaggerating everything!)

I'm a millennial born around 2000 I grew up when this stuff was coming in smartphones, Ipads etc, Now from experience I was left mostly unregulated by my parents who have no idea how to use pretty much anything other than a TV. That being said I came out mostly unscathed because for a long time I didn't have a tablet(still don't and I don't want a tablet I didn't even get a phone till I was 16) the electronic I used most was my gaming console Xbox 360 and my DS's that being said I had an iPod touch and when I started coming on RU-vid it was far less political and a far safer place for viewing videos because I would mostly find stuff like Smosh and other let's play channels but the video landscape has changed drasticly now. Let's plays are probably the safer videos for kids to watch since most let's players are aware kids watch them and try to keep it moderately PG Yogscast would be a good example of a child-friendly let's play channel. My suggestion for this day and age would be to keep smartphones and tablets away from your kids like the plague, clarification don't outright ban them from using one if they go to a friends house and their friend has one but you stop them from using it or kick up a storm that's guaranteed to cause problems just don't buy them a smartphone and/or tablet because they are probably the most socially damaging things for children because of things like social media(which I barely use don't see much point in it). It can suck for a kid to be left out but I think the benefits from it are well worth it and get them something like a 3DS or a console because they are far less damaging but don't throw them head first into a PC or laptop that could be way, way worse than a tablet for different reasons. Now consoles and handhelds have RU-vid but it's a bit harder and annoying to use so kids probably won't try too hard to use RU-vid and games usually don't have damaging content unless it's PC games because they can be messed up but most things on steam are somewhat okay for kids if you get a kid a computer do it when they're about 10(maybe older this was about when I got mine but things were far tamer) because that's when it's kind of necessary just outfit their browsers with ad blockers, pop-up blocker, and site raters to help avoid any messy situations you could put safe search on but I probably wouldn't since I think exploring at their own pace is important then again things may have changed from when I started. I would recommend getting kids a smartphone or tablet at around maybe 12-14 (maybe older this is just around when I got mine) depends on the kid but don't restrict their access they shouldn't search anything too messed up and will likely use it to find gaming videos if they're into games. That being said this is from the perspective of a gamer if your child doesn't like games that may be more challanging since I guess they might search for comedy videos and I have absolutly no Idea what a child looking for comedy might find. This is all my opinion and from expirence growing up in this age.

No pls be trolling

Does Elsagate reminds you of Happy Tree Friends?

maybe it's just me but my mum just put me in the living room with a crate of building blocks. On weekends in the morning I could watch cartoons.

Yank the fucking tablet from him

I mean, there are official apps like Nick Jr that kids can use and it’s fine. Even then, download some apps for yourself and play it to figure out if it’s fine. I’m not a parent; but, I have babysat a four-year-old before. Whenever she wanted to go on the YT Kids app i’d keep a close eye on the screen and try to redirect her onto something else when it started showing a single hint of weirdness. Like, we’d take turns playing Fruit Ninja, ‘check on the kitties’ on Neko Atsume, put on a movie, or do something offline. I don’t have an issue with tablets as long as there’s strict monitoring depending in the age.

+Glacius I'm a Pedagogic Worker. I've studied kids' cognitive, social and emotional behaviour 3 year long, from the ages 0 to 21 (which is when you, on average stop growing.) You can tell your girlfriend that I agree with you. He'll be just as (if not more) entertained by a calm Netflix 'Postman pat" episode. Or DVD's or VHS-tapes. Repetition is no problem. Perhaps a Sesamestreet casette-tape while he plays, is fine as well. Give him a cartboard box to play with or a bucket of water in the garden. An interactive 'play with us and jump' casette or put some small bells on a band around his ankle and let him 'make music' by dancing. There's tons of stuff he can do on his own. RU-vid will over-stimulate his brain and cause him to act out of frustration and adrenaline. Postman Pat and a nice soft blanket on the couch, is a perfect way to start your morning. Limit the use of an Ipad to 2-times half an hour, if you must (assuming it's a bad case of Ipad-use). Nothing more and preferably less. Good luck!

Maybe you should download one of those apps where someone will read a picture book to him. Reading is good for children and shouldn't have the RU-vid algorithm problem.

SomethingReallyStrange honestly RU-vid should get their game together instead of demonitizing everyone.

Raven Same here.

Guys youtube is taking a cut whenever ads are played. Is it really a surprise that they don't want to shine light one of their most profitable sections on the platform? :)

Maybe if we didn't ban RU-vid Champions then we would have had the power to police our own community.

Rules, laws, banhammers, they're for enemies of power, not for whatever purpose they're presented as. They are really damn quick to ban Forgotten Weapons, a harmless historical gun channel, and banned all of Thegn Thrand over a dumb video they made years ago, because those are things they care about. But extremely inappropriate cartoons aimed at toddlers? No real effect on anything youtube cares about, so they take their time.

Maryam Mirza yay thanks for protecting your sister :)

Z Picasso Genius, but semi-flawed.

Mlgm8 yes 😂

Holy shit I got more likes on this comment that I ever got on an actual comment

Right but hey some parents are just so incompetent, that they were better off having no kids at all.

Urban_Foxtrot I loved paw patrol when i was a little kid tbh probs would watch now

Those people don't need help, they need to get their money taken away from them.

God forbid a parody ever exists.

oBLACKIECHANoo parody is one thing but labeled for kids isn't quite right. Example labeling porn as sex education for kids, or showing a murder of some one such as burning a homeless guy as a teaching tool for young kids in some way. Just saying.

This Little Critic omg I’ve seen those. Also there is a big page called 5 angles or 5 perfect girls or something like that.

Feck off.

Philip DeFranco fake scammer

I've seen something like that on youtube but I don't remember the channel it was from. I hope this comment gets seen and somebody like Phil speaks out about it;; ♥

We’ve all watched a video on RU-vid and thought ya I shouldn’t watch this.

thank you

I was going to say thank you as well...the internet was no where near as big when I was a kid or available at your finger tips 24/7...my kids watch regular RU-vid and only certain channels...I check in to make sure they aren't going down the rabbit hole....FGTV and channels with families interacting....now my 6 year old wants to have his OWN channel to show the games he plays...

@@MetahForeGenome do not get him a channel, he Will cry cuz he wont get 1 million subscribers in a week

I'm pretty sure most of the people saying that are around 13 to 15 right now

The Nocturnal Alchemist understanvle have a nice meme

No it's just parents are too lazy to learn how to either make a playlist and approve the content in the playlist before giving it to their kids or are unknowlegable but still giving their kids access to something they don't understand. Then when this stuff slips by they blame the platform instead of themselves. It isn't just an on off switch for stopping these things slipping through. Even the most advanced neural network in the world would occasionally let one slip through just to test the fringe cases better.

RU-vid MACHINE B R O K E N

"Even the most advanced neural network in the world would occasionally let one slip through just to test the fringe cases better." Test case: don't think of a white bear.

rordun1232 hahahahaha I love that "challenge"

Exactly! Have parental controls where nothing is shown until a parent allows a certain channel or video.

I like this idea.

WhaleWisper you can put a time limited on them for how long they can watch it for!

WhaleWisper you should work for RU-vid

Cause youtube is too stupid to understand this and let bots do all the work.

IKR.

SuperCosmicKuma Skynet would do us a favor and kill us.

Matthias Wichert Right? I was thinking the same... I've heard so much about this so long ago, I thought is was something that was already known by a lot of people.

adults don't tend to watch childrens videos so it's not that surprising

Jay Pardoe I'm an adult without children and I've known about this for a couple years now as well. Parents should be at least monitoring what their kids are watching, they don't have to watch the cartoons themselves. (Even though extra sweet parents like Phil here take the time to watch with his kid as he says here.)

Why are you surprised? Most people still think that #pizzagate is focused on a random pizza shop in D.C. where babies are raped and tortured to death. They refuse to see the bigger picture- although I think we're seeing the cracks in the dam beginning to form with all the sexual deviants in Hollywood starting to get accused. I'm hoping someone like Spacey fucking sings like a canary and blows the lid off the elaborate blackmail/human trafficking ring that was discovered from the Podesta emails.

B DeWit ugh you're so right

But not very inappropriate, tbh

At least it's better and it's not Messed up .

unlike these creepy "family friendly" kid videos

Exactamundo. Go figure, eh?

how tho

I'm wondering the same thing.

EMoloneyC whatever. These videos get flagged and th y don’t do anything about it.

EMoloneyC Well the more they strike, the less likely imitators might spring up as they'd be under the pressure of being suddenly banned without warning.

You may be under the false impression these companies devout a ton of resources to prosecuting, flagging and taking down stuff using their intellectual property. They don't. It's all automated. And the bots can't tell when an animated bootleg Elsa is being depicted. They specialize in flagging down anything taken directly from the actual movies. Actual people have to watch these videos. And since 300 hours of content are uploaded to youtube every minute, that's quite an herculean, boring task. They'd have to hire 54,000 people, each watching 8 hours of video everyday in 3 shifts, to make sure every minute is policed. And that is not including that two people will inevitably watch the same video, that you'd want to have many different opinions on a video before taking it down, vacation days, sick days... Though, in December RU-vid hired 10,000 people to police these videos.

Prime example in 2020 is Wabbit season by meat canyon which was taken down by Warner Bros.

I didn't belive that people would organize a nation-wide event where they scream helplessly at the sky, wishing that they would die. But, here we are.

Old news

Vanessa Blanco I do.

i kinda envy you, not judging you or anything but not knowing the depths people will go just to fuck with people regardless of who they are, that kind of ignorance is bliss.

Really? To be honest much of the stuff isn't any different than what was shown on Nickelodeon back in the late 80s and early 90s... in fact this stuff is arguably more tame than much of the stuff that was shown on "You Can't Do That On Television".

Human trafficking. It's horrible and scary, but it's what these sickos do. And RU-vid lets it happened because they want money

Apparently its got to do with trying to normalize this behaviour to kids so its easier to exploit them, lots of these types of videos (especially ones that feature child actors crying / screaming / being "pranked" in the shower) have many pedophilic comments

money

Kids are inherently interested in weird shit. They're curious about things. These channels exploit that to the maximum by showing them the most disturbing things possible.

Miranda Pink Lynn me too!

Yup

Me too

Do you naturally say that with everything?

Gravuun its a pile of junky needles in a playground.

to add- these videos have probably been reported a ton of times. if you look through the comments sections of them it's people freaking out about it and telling others to report them too. yet... they're still up. are youtube staff being told to ignore it or something?

The handful of hay is quite a generous sum you came up with.

+War Of Noise I think RU-vid is doing this as one giant social experiment.

Seriously, what's with all the needles?

OrlyZara traumatising? i think most kids are a bit harder than that

Autumn Grace the same thing happened with my nieces. When they wouldn’t scream and run from it, it caused them to do things like the vile videos showed.

Phil, has your channel been hacked?

So here's a tip... set up a playlist and set her down that path with it. The simple fact is RU-vid kids is a mistake, parents can easily handle giving their children access to the content they find appropriate.

Naj Adamu Nah, that's a fake Phil with a capital i replacing the lower case L

Autumn Grace same except my cousins don’t cry about it. They actually watch it and replay it

adam mac Exactly this!

ravenkrofft Thanks! 👍

Merry Weather Yes, very sad indeed.

Socializing? Playing outside? What's that?

Better yet don't have kids

I stand by this comment. It bugs me how so many parents are either irrationally petty or uncaring towards their children and/or general public surrounding them.

To make more money and increase trust in their system from dimwitted parents/guardians?

Easily triggered aint ya. xD

Joey FOR MOTHER RUSSIA

AllisonCat8 They don't. They support it.

AllisonCat8 they only care if lots of people complain and it getting media attention :/

Heavenly Athena They don’t care. Many people have complained about it and has gotten media attention (on RU-vid). Of course the news media won’t talk about it because they want you to think it’s just another one of those crazy conspiracy theories.

Why should they? the kids aren't theirs, the fault lies 100% with the parents....

Muskoka Mike For real?

Royal Buttocks please help your sister by making sure she doesn’t watch this stuff :( it’s really hurting children.

Your name is royal buttocks, and you have a cartoon picture of a butt, and then you comment this comment, this is great.

lol

Rpay yea heh... I try to keep things comedic, but this kinda bothered me, so I had to voice some concern.

Alvinsland2 and figge plays :( if your little brother still watches RU-vid, then it’s best to create a playlist of videos that are good for him to watch. I think he’ll thank you for it later.

But sadly age restrictions can be bypassed and hard despite as a kid (now grew up on the old youtube era without the days of these kinds of abominations happening) saddens me even i escaped restrictions to watch content that are OFFICIAL!(ex:the real dora,tom and jerry,etc), not mind brainwashing, educational and appropriately funny as long we comprehend and understand stuff we watch,we cant stop my generation but let em educate what's right and wrong may help which ones to avoid

Hey my niece watches your videos

Oof the nostalgia I used to be a huge fan of your videos and then forget about them. and I agree.

shit age range
