Picture this.
You're a child and you see a video, you click on it only to find out you have to wait until you're 18 to watch it and you would have to watch something similar but G rated until then. That is when you come across this:
You go "That looks ok for an under 18" so you click on it and boy are you are wrong.

Some years ago, the YouTube Kids app was launched and I remember my dad said that yit would have kid stuff on it like "Peppa Pig" and "The Magic Roundabout" on it but we brushed it off as there wasn't any real kids that were in the age demographic in the family at the time that would watch YouTube Kids. Now with my godfather and his wife having thier first daughter last year, I realised that she will be first in line in the family to watch the Youtube Kids app sometime soon and that would mean she would be exposed to the nature of them.
These YouTube Kids videos are basically clickbait videos with characters doing stuff and sometimes that involves nudity, violence and anything that is against the YouTube Community Guidelines but these seem to get away with it somehow. However, they are being tracked by YouTube themselves recently but that would probably only make them stronger. I will try and catch some to review even though they barely have any stories but I will try and decipher them.
