I have an 8 year old and I had to cut Youtube dramatically. I uninstalled it off the TV.

We have Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, Max, PBS Kids etc and all she'd watch is low quality Youtube family videos where it's just lame ass shyt happening for hours.

Then that was looping in her siblings who are 4 to just fiend for dumb Youtube shyt. I was like nah, yal better watch some regular cartoons or some shyt, at least spark your creativity instead of just watching brain numbing low vibration garbage just rotting your brain away

:unimpressed:

An no, she doesn't have a phone

What stuff there they watching?

My son is 3 and watches people playing with toys or stuff about cars. We try and ween him off the cartoon fighting stuff, but the general YT stuff just seems brain dead but less offensive.

My wife was on it early. He has an iPad but we don’t let him use it that often. And when he does, she updated the YouTube settings so he can only watch subscribed kids content, like Nick Jr, Miss Rachel, PBS Kids etc. That’s the best way to keep the algorithm safe. We thought just having the toddler settings on meant we were good but nope.


Exactly. Although we read that dangerous shyt can slip into kid safe YouTube algorithms, it wasn’t even that that started to worry us. It was just weird shyt that he was constantly swiping through, like Malaysian adults singing weird ass songs. Made no sense.
Good looking out, just made the settings changes on my daughter's account. My wife and I try to keep it to Miss Rachel, Sesame Street, Gracie's Corner, but my mother in law will have her watching it then I look up and like you said it's some weird foreign cats doing crazy shyt and I have the :gucci:
Download the Khan Academy Kids app breh and thank me later. A library of books, learning games etc. and most importantly can be used with no access to the internet.

My son is 3 years old and the only things we allow him to watch now on Youtube is educational content that isn't too stimulating (no music is key). Channels like this are great: Boey Bear - Toddler Learning Videos
Just added Boey Bear.
