OH SHIT ALL MY LITTLE SIBLINGS WATCH YOUTUBE.
If you look into the current YouTube kids’ videos “industry” you will quickly find that it’s full of the CREEPIEST SHIT. Seriously, DO NOT just sit a kid in front of YouTube autoplay. DON’T DO IT.
A couple of informative videos on the subject:

Putting on my teacher’s hat for a minute:
When I was a kid, YouTube had zero filter and was a garbage pit of inappropriate videos. I was taught from a young age not to visit the website unless I knew exactly what I was looking for. That still reigns true today. YouTube has never been an appropriate website for kids and never will be unless children are taught how to use it and parents/guardians monitor it. When used probably, YouTube can be an excellent tool for entertainment and education. But avoid letting children carelessly browse through it. If you have young children, make sure you know what your child is watching. Watch the video beforehand or watch it with them. If your child(ren) are older, teach them how to surf the web safely. This doesn’t just apply to YouTube, but to the internet as a whole.
Don’t just ban your kids from YouTube or sit back and let them figure it out for themselves. Teach them how to be responsible with their technology so they will be better prepared to use it in the future.
signal boost the fuck out of this, my little sister is on youtube constantly and even though it’s not youtube kids it’s still definitely dangerous if you aren’t careful
