Well I'm glad they are doing SOMETHING. Probably they will need to make modifications as time goes by. I'm less worried about data collection than I am worried about a kid watching what looks like Peppa Pig and having it switch into something horrible halfway in that gives the kid PTSD. Why would people do such terrible things to small children? That I cannot understand.
tailrustedtealeaf - I absolutely agree that social media was a mistake x) Especially the awful trend of just putting EVERYTHING online, often under your real name! I swear, some of the stuff I've seen people plaster all over their Tumblrs, it's shocking/terrifying.
I can understand wanting to reign in the toy review community. So much of it is PR opening and I'm not sure who I can really trust (I do trust GreatBigToyBox but she seems to be the exception). There's a difference between CookieSwirlC and GreatBigToyBox, too. If this dominos into causing blind boxes to stop being so prevalent I'll consider it to be one good thing coming out of it.
I think the real problem is, kids are going to be watching no matter what the content is as long as it's entertaining. It's not like there is an actual boundary between what kids like and what adults like. As a kid, I watched a lot of MASH, violent Cowboy Movies and so on. Because it was on.
I don't see why any of these have to be demonetized - it's not the kids themselves who are paying to watch the videos, and actual kid's channels on television have adverts on them. Or by "personalized ads" do they just mean adverts that the YouTuber chooses to put on them?
Really anymore I just want Youtube to die. It's outlived it's usefulness. It's slowly turning into one big pile of junk.
A recent thing I found out about are vids were women just eat large amounts of food for the pleasure of men and then purge it all when the cams are off to stay thin.
