Sounds excellent. I download whole channels and serve them on Plex. It requires a fair bit of management, and doesn't work when traveling, or if my desktop PC is VPN'd somewhere or off. This is all to prevent suggestions and random browsing. A much simpler solution is very welcome.
no gif to show it working? just a form to sign up?
but you're right. will do. thank you.
Related: I recently learned that in the youtube kids app the parent can sign in and select only pre-approved accounts, and can disable search and recommendations.
plus, there is no option for me :) i'm also thinking of myself.

This comment is bleak. Surely you can provide some feedback that's more constructive?
Im pretty sure they meant it is obvious that a flat random signup for some kid-focused product, without a demo, is a bad indicator for the longevity of the product; not to mention the ethos of the development. On the flip side, it is likely to last/be available a bit longer without drawing Google's attention, due to the unnecessary friction.
It's definitely not one I'd choose to showcase for child safety.

It says it plays "The best videos from the channel". How is that decided without algorithms? I'm not challenging you I'm just curious. This seems like a great thing, like the copy says "Now there's easily something to watch during dinner" I just don't understand if it's just most recent videos or what.
yeah. full disclosure, i go far back to get latest couple of hundreds of videos. (i may increase this in the future) and filter out the crap that is live, shorts, and all the restricted non embeddable ones. and i get all their stats. so i try to have around at least 100 "proper" ones of the latest videos. even for mrbeast for example it goes back till 2019. and believe me, old videos are not that attractive to "kids"…
Behind the signup form is a thumbnail for this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaiKVF2QhnM It's definitely not one I'd choose to showcase for child safety.

What you described is clearly an algorithm. But i assume what you mean by “no algorithm” is that you are not using a machine learning based recommendation engine.
