Hey, fuzzy blue monster here who doesn't make kids content but consistently gets put under the Sesame Street category anyway. Is there any way I can avoid getting hit by these changes?

The target audience is what's most important here (you know your videos best!). If your content isn’t made for kids, no action needed. More specifics/examples here: https://yt.be/help/pE5Q and we’ll have more resources & content strategy guides over the coming months to help.

What worries me is the automatic flagging you mentioned. My content is family friendly, but there was once a time when every single video I put out was automatically deemed inappropriate and demonetized until I appealed. I'm afraid of the system ignoring my intentions.

From what I've read and what they say, this only happens if you take the time yourself to flag your own videos as "Meant for children" I think this fully only applies to those people who mark their own videos down as "meant for kids"

It's not just manual video settings though. They explicitly say here that they're also going to automatically flag videos themselves, which is where the problem comes in.pic.twitter.com/M1Xo6fmIx5

I guess I misunderstood that. I assumed that meant they would use creator's tags to find the videos and show them to kids specifically.
