This is extremely vague and worrying for creators. Please be more clear about the content that this covers.

This will affect videos that both creators & our systems identify as made for kids (ex: emphasis on kids characters, themes, or toys). More specific examples: https://yt.be/help/pE5Q Creators will self designate bc you know your content & its target audience better than anyone.

This seems much more clear, thank you. Does this include video games?

It includes all content on YouTube (including video games). The key here is that we’re limiting data collection on all videos made for kids – it’s more about the individual video content and its target audience, and less about the game the creator is playing in the video.

This is even more vague!! I fear it will become a guessing game on a video-by-video basis as to whether the machine learning classifies our videos as either "in" our "out".

Legit question - Why would any creators tell YouTube the truth on this because if we do you’re just going to not let us make money
