In case you were wondering, here is our data in 2024 when we were not so popular yet on YouTube, and then the demographics after certain YouTubers talked inaccurately about us in 2025. We increased a 6% on viewers that are between 13-17 years old since they started to make videos about us, from their followers. Before that 96,5% of our audience was over 18. Since those videos we dropped to 91.2%. Coincidence? We don’t think so. We still also insist, this app is for 13+, if your kids are younger than that you have 2 options to comply with the rules like we do as creators:
1. Give kids under that age YouTube Kids instead of YouTube
2. If you allow your kids under the age of 14 to have an account, don’t forget to restrict it with the tools that the app offers. If you don’t restrict it, even if you must confirm that account with an adults account, they will still be able to see everything. There are different levels of restriction that this app offers so use them!
We, as well as our favorite haters, are all tagged not for kids, and that’s what YouTube requires us. Not for kids does not mean you are only not suitable for YouTube kids, it means: that a video is not intended for viewers under the age of 13. This classification is part of YouTube’s compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which mandates that content creators specify whether their material is directed toward children. This requirement aims to protect children’s privacy and ensure appropriate content delivery
