So there's a huge problem going on Youtube, and it may prevent you from viewing Furry Situation, Buggy Situation, Thrill of the Hunt, and other content that my group dubs for you.
This problem is called COPPA, and it was created because bad parents blamed us creators for their kids' bad habits.
>>Copied and pasted this from a my friend's post, because it sums up the root problem<<
"Children watching adult content on YouTube (and other sites) isn't the fault of the artists or creators. It's the result of poor parenting. I'm a parent. I should know!
Solutions? Simple! 1) When they have screens open, keep them withing eye/ear shot. Don't let them view things behind closed doors or headphones. If they're adamant about privacy, then they're aware they're viewing something you disapprove of, and thus should be disciplined. If they don't understand the adult content, explain to them why you don't want them viewing it. If they throw a tantrum, discipline them!
2) DISCIPLINE! DISCIPLINE! DISCIPLINE! The point of being a parent isn't to be your child's friend, or servant. It's about helping them grow into a tolerable human being. Spoiling them or leaving them to their own devices DOESNT HELP. Neglect falls here too. You're not a horrible person for setting rules and boundaries toward your child's screentime and content availability. It's called tough love. Love them, but set rules.
3) Teach them why something is wrong. If your child chooses to access a video of two yahoos getting pink, that's not the creator's fault. They didn't make your child click the play button via digital mind control. Teach them right from wrong, and keep reminding them until it's engraved in their little brains. If it doesn't stick? Take away the bloody ipad and give them a coloring book.
4) Set up am account that has child safety features! Browse their history, and block the content you don't want them to see! Don't know how to do that? Ask me! Better yet, google it like I did! I'm a simpleton that relies on tutorials created for ADULTS.
5) Most sites have a minimum age requirement of 13. Your 5 year old shouldn't be zoning out on a screen when there's sunshine outside. Let your kid play in the yard. Keep an eye on them instead of browsing Facebook. Your child is more important than that shaggy neckbeard posing as a fellow Karen.
Seriously, I can't stress this enough. Your child's activity isn't the fault of creators! You control your children, not us! YOU.
It's like trying to sue a cigarette company because your child found a used cigarette on the sidewalk! It's like suing a hospital because your child found a needle in a bush!
Rather than get pissed at YouTube because your child stumbled on adult content, RETHINK YOUR PARENTING METHODS. Seriously!
Stop blaming others for your shit! Forcing YouTube to set ridiculous policies against its users will result in: users losing income and moving to a new site, YouTube losing its members and risking shut down, Karens losing there Grey's Anatomy clipsand How to kill your child with antivaxx tutorials.
It hurts everyone.
One last time for the really stubborn Karens, Shannons, Franks, Bobs, and Boomers...
Child watching porn = bad parenting Suing YouTube and punishing creators = You're a dongless dingus without a thinky
