So, I just saw this, and while in general it's a good idea...it could have an odd and possibly negative effect on TokuTube. Thread time!pic.twitter.com/enFEQLUIOt

So within a few months, YouTube will require a disclosure of if content is "for kids". And even if you don't self-disclose that, they'll be "detecting" (YAY! More algorithms...oh excuse me, "machine learning") them, via things like characters they are about. Like...Power Rangerspic.twitter.com/jdtbd8xxp3
Limiting Data collection on videos for kids? Cool. No longer serving personalized ads? Cooooool....? Not targeting ads at kids is good, but content created for kids will see less revenue. DISABLED COMMENTS FOR KIDS VIDEOS - It's a POSSIBILITY, but not a great one.pic.twitter.com/a6aL4jvNEv
TokuTube is a weird little corner of YouTube for this. I review Power Rangers...but my reviews are targeted AT ADULTS. I'm okay if kids watch, great! But my analysis is mature. Not inappropriate (it was a big deal when I said the F-word in my Power Rangers movie review)...
But as I'm seeing this, yet ANOTHER YouTube algorithm could look at my videos, see Power Rangers in the tags, reduce the ads served on my videos and disable comments. I get the MEANING behind this, but this doesn't sound like the best way of handling this.
@YouTube @TeamYouTube Will these new rules about kids' content on YouTube allow for content creators making videos about a kids' franchise, but targeted at an adult audience?
It’d be a shame if they were to label all of these things as “just for kids”. Especially in a world where superheroes and geek culture has evolved into something everyone can enjoy.
Just please be more specific about these rules @YouTube .
