I have kids that I allow to go on YouTube and am happy with them receiving monetized ads...The FTC stopping targeted ad is going to do more harm than good for kids! Kids content will shrink as a result and more mature content will spread

Sounds ideal, but the channels my kids enjoyed and learned a great deal from are no longer on the YT kids app.

It may be because the content is no longer appropriate for kids/families, or the channel got suspended. We’ve taken a number of precautions to ensure that families searching in YouTube Kids will see results that are appropriate for younger audiences. Hope this helps.
