I liberally use the "Not interested" and "Don't recommend channel" options in the menu. Works okay for me.
Where is don't recommend channel? I saw a video about this when searching how to block specific channels but it doesn't appear in the UI of my YT android app...
Curated and at least semi-professionally produced content, like PBS kids, is infinitely better in terms of providing consistently good content. I think YouTube is at its heart fundamentally incompatible with providing only high quality enriching content. Everyone being able to make content means there are gems that would never otherwise get made, and also vast wastelands of garbage to sort through, or get dumped into…
You could say that about any publisher or platform.

Admitting that black or autistic people exist is political now. Gotcha.

One unintended consequence of the FTC settlement mentioned in the article is that almost no-one wants to create high quality kid-friendly content anymore, because doing so forces them to accept huge restrictions on how everyone interacts with it - now no-one can add those videos to playlists or leave comments on them, by FTC decree, even if they're adults on the main version of YouTube. So anyone producing content th…
I struggle to understand how personal playlists need a user to work. And comments... well, YT Kids audience is not the most commenting one...
My kid had a great experience with YouTube kids. He learned so much from it, it shocked me. At one point he memorized all the presidents and very detailed minutiae about the dwarf planets, most I had never heard of. My friends had a worse experience. Their daughter started watching cosplay videos where actors would dress up like Elsa and the Joker, and the Joker would kidnap Elsa and tie her up. Borderline porn and p…
> Then she got fixated on makeup videos and they couldn’t stop her from watching those. If the kid has the last word on what she watches, the parents have their own problems. A family is more like a monarchy than a democracy, children can't outvote parents.
YouTube Kids is so bad, https://youtu.be/oEYUjI3mkB0 ... so nightmarish platform still same problem as 3 years ago ( https://www.engadget.com/2018-03-23-youtube-still-plagued-di... )
While horrible, that's not YouTube Kids. It's just normal YouTube content by someone who thinks this kind of parody is hilarious.
There is so much weirdness anyway there (see for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFfFMZQyxB0 posted few days ago )
It's clearly possible to see nobody moderated this content

> Also, youtube bypasses dns blocking Care to elaborate more on what you mean by this ?
You have to block all of google to block youtube basically and even then it may still get through.
