#2YouTube responding to users' serious concerns? And it only took about 3 years? Well, may wonders never cease.

#3Earlier I suggested YouTube start to use actual editors: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16758397
I guess this is their response.
AI will never replace humans in judgement. Sorry Silicon Valley. It's not going to happen. Stop trying to make it happen.

I would be surprised if AI doesn't assist in the near future. Now, even.

#5This sounds good but I see another side: Targeted advertising to kids.

Sure. But AI is notoriously bad at detecting edge cases of things. This is particularly true with user generated content, where new, unfamiliar cultural contexts come about all the time.

Of course, most programming for kids has been just that for decades, with a few notable exceptions (Sesame Street, Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood, others probably). The programs themselves when I was a kid typically took the form of a 22 minute toy advertisement, interspersed with more advertising. Of course, they didn’t have data on my particular viewing habits and a psych profile, but honestly it still worked pretty well.
The best bet if you care about your kid is probably to try and curate yourself. That’s definitely doable if you’re well-off in a two parent home with one child at a time, but how many families does that describe on average?

#8Hmm, my nephew already saw pepa pig having her teeth extracted on YouTube kids so I'm gonna say this is too little too late.

Downvotes right off the bat? Ok, parents are happy to give their kids a screen to give themselves a momentary reprieve but if that trust is broken good luck getting it back.

I've heard Joe Rogan talk about this on his podcast. It sounds like there is an epidemic of cartoon styled videos with dark endings that wind up autoplaying after kids' videos.
