Massive drop in views on kid channels

this will never happen except in your dreams. Content will always be driven by the algorithms

This has nothing to do with my dreams. This has everything to do with a consent agreement with the FTC after one of the largest corporations in the United States of America has been found to be flagrantly and explicitly violating a federal law designed to protect kids. It is not often that Republicans and Democrats agree, but when it comes to protecting kids they do. The vast majority of content on youtube will stay as is, but Google has no choice but to stop letting a machine make decisions on kids content.

Don't know if people can post links to other forums here? If it gets removed, you can search kids+views drop something like that.

"Google has no choice but to stop letting a machine make decisions on kids content"
Don't think that's going to happen. The amount of content coming from just kids Partners is nuts. Those still need review.
Ask anyone who's worked in content review for Facebook/Google. Their AI isn't perfect...but it's pretty freakin' amazing and getting better.

Our channel is in the same position as everyone else here with a reduction of over 50% in traffic but the super scary part is that unlike normal ups and down where the revenue is approx proportional to the views in this case its far worse. What this translates to for us anyway is a far grater reduction in $$ as our views have now predominantly shifted to YouTube kids where the potential earn is close to nothing. In addition as YT Kids does not allow users to subscribe, comment or even like engagement is also a thing of the past with a huge disproportionate drop in Subs. So what does this mean? Well in my opinion those of us that were caught up in this change are basically holding channels that now have a significantly reduced ability to generate any revenue and almost no way to engage with our audiences also resulting in no ongoing possibility's of brand integrations or other additional revenue streams. Where to from here? Personally I believe those of us smashed by this change represent a broader testing of what will be the new antilogarithm for kids content on the platform - there is simply no way looking at the channels currently affected when taking into consideration size, content, demographics etc make any sense than a subsection of the platform chosen/selected/who knows to determine the impact and fine tune the final platform wide change. There is simply no way that in its current form the change will satisfy FTA and their desire to have no data tracking and (basically) no advertising to kids further of channels unaffected most don't seem to have any major point of difference that would seem them escape permanently. My only holdout is that maybe YT will be analyzing the data from this experiment and tweaking it resulting in a positive change for us all over the next week or so - fingers crossed!

How do they get monetised so quickly, within one month and millions of views.
What software are they using to make those vids.

Good idea to try out Chinese and Arab tags. I thought youtube was blocked in China?

it seems that stupider your content is more successful you will be on youtube and the algorithm fully supports it! Actually they used korean and arab tags. Not sure why. And this video leads to hundreds of other with similar titles and channels
