On YouTube they want to avoid problems and now they are discussing their videos for children. As we can read in the Wall Street Journal, company executives are discussing if they should remove all videos of children from the platform and move them to YouTube Kids. The idea of moving all kids' content to YouTube Kids could save a lot of hassle and would be a big change.
This is one of those ideas that would help improve YouTube and we find it very interesting.Another of the ideas that they think YouTube can do better is to remove that feature that makes YouTube play one video after another automatically, although that would not help generate views in the application.
Moving all content to YouTube Kids would be a lot of work
About 500 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute The only way to move all this content from one version to another would be to alter the status quo of the platform. Google has the means, but does not know if it is really ready to carry it out. There are many vloggers who use their family as a lure and they are growing fast. What would happen to these communities?
Moving all the videos to YouTube Kids for kids is very complicated, especially since there are many channels that mix adult content (not porn, but for adults) and children on the same channel.And we can't forget that YouTube Kids also has its problems, as porn videos were recently discovered in this section, with explicit sexual language and all kinds of things that shouldn't be there.
YouTube is not able to control all your content
Very recently, YouTube assured that they are aware of all the mistakes they make but they also ensure that it is impossible to control all the content that is Get on your platform. Thanks to the combination of robots with humans, video management and categorization has improved a lot but it is still far from perfect.
It seems highly unlikely that all kids' content will move to YouTube Kids because there would be a lot of affected channels, all of which would be in a limbo. What is clear is that YouTube is doing everything it can to solve its problems with content for children and videos that are not appropriate for them.
