(1/5) If you’re a creator of children’s or family content, you’re probably wondering what the changes we announced today mean for you and your channel. More details here https://yt.be/Bnqp , but keep reading this thread for a quick summary:

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

-
As stated by the FTC, creators have strict liability for their content on platforms like YouTube. The ability to self designate allows creators to upload content made for kids in a COPPA compliant way–if you don’t self designate, the FTC can pursue regulatory action against you.

My videos are "safe for kids", but are family friendly and intended to be enjoyed by audiences of all ages. The majority of my audience is kids because I make gaming videos. I don't target kids specifically but I "know my audience" is generally younger. What then?

The problem here is that YouTube is right. We have to follow the guidelines. However, this causes some majorly bad consequences and effects a ton of people. Because Youtube kids did not work, they now have to try a different tactic to protect child privacy laws.
