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".

(1/2) This is why creators will also be required to self designate whether their videos are made for kids – you know your content/intended audience better than anyone.

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.

Additionally, even though the target may not be anyone specific, that means the target includes children. Therefore, it must abide by the laws set in place for children. This hurts, but what other option is there?
