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.

This applies to videos that are specifically made for kids – you can see Section D1 of the FTC FAQs for their definition of child directed content: https://ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/complying-coppa-frequently-asked-questions …. We'll have more resources on this in coming months.

You're not listening. Your automatic flagging algorithms have incorrectly flagged me in the past and caused me a lot of grief. Right now YouTube is putting my videos in the Sesame Street category, which worries me because it means the system already doesn't understand my content.
