Youtube Kids is an incredible app to keep children entertained while parents get things done around the house. Unfortunately, not everything on Youtube Kids is tasteful for children or young children. AI and algorithms are used to determine whether content is suitable for kids and sometimes these tools miss things. Malicious channels exploit these inefficiencies and sneak unsettling content through the cracks. In my household we have locked the youtube kids account down and removed the search bar. By doing this, our child can only view channels and videos that we manually approve. As a realist, I understand that not every parent has the time to vet each and every piece of content that’s out there so I’ve provided links to my list. The original list will contain all original items on the list, while the subscribed list will allow you to view a list that updates over time with new content and my opinions on the content. Additionally, I hope to provide the opportunity to crowdsource the list and hear from others on content that should be added to our approved list.
