I'll pay Google when they start weeding out the utter garbage that is uploaded targeting kids. Things like frozen characters getting tired up and thrown in water, or their clay stomachs getting cut open. YouTube happily suggests these abusive videos when you are watching kids shows, and Google does stuff all about them


Are you taking about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elsagate , which was fixed in 2017?


The last sentence in the Wikipedia article you link provides reason to believe that the extensive and largely unfocussed show of action Google made in 2017 did not, in fact, solve the problem.


Are you sure these videos and their targeting are still a thing? Your comment is the first I've heard about it in years, and looking now everything I'm finding is years old.


Just get the youtube kids app. It only contains preapproved videos that are fine for kids. Works great.
