Many of the top DIY and Craft channels are predominantly females. Arts, crafts, DIYs, and even toy customizations are not exclusively child-content and should not be considered as such just because they are playful.
Letter to Protect Female DIY/Crafts/Arts

Dear YouTube,
I am concerned about the new rules regarding content that is considered appealing to kids. The category is so broad, and mostly discriminatory towards majoritarily female creators.

Many of the “male” DIYers use materials like metal, wood, and heavy machinery; they will not be impacted because their materials are not considered to be “childish”.

A craft kit review can be played with (for children), yes, but it can also be a great way for consumers (those with purchasing power) to know how to save their money. THE MANNER the content is presented, should matter more than what is on screen.
