Massive drop in views on kid channels

yt keeps telling me that being in yt kid app and in suggested have nothing to do with each other. I think there is a connection. They only suggest kid videos that are in yt kids app
 
I apologise if this has already been posted / mentioned, but I think it's important:


YouTube has announced that in addition to disabling targeted advertising on videos apparently intended for children, it will disable comments, live chat, subscriber notifications, Stories, and the ‘Save to Playlist’ function on all channels making content for kids.

Full article:


I think that it is inevitable that kid's content will be moved exclusively to YT Kids. Kid content creators do not want to do this, so they are making things uncomfortable on YT main to encourage them to make the move themselves. I expect them to sweeten up YT kids as well to encourage this jump.

You can't choose to be on the kids app. Youtube controls it.
 
I think yt got a good chance to nuke lots of kid channels and stop new ones from forming that's why comments and end screens disappeared and retention time requirements are now a lot higher so only good content is left

It feels like they are leaving big companies that have other monetary sources to keep creating content

Isn't that always the way it is. Whenever the lower classes begin to lift their heads out of the dust, the upper class finds a way to push them down again, and make up some silly excuse lie, "We are protecting the kids!". Protecting them from WHAT! Please! Someone intelligent tell me what horrible DANGER this is protecting kids from. If you really want to protect children, how about outlawing MURDERING them before they are BORN! Yeah! Nobody can intelligently argue that they care about children in a country that promotes the genocidal murder of 60 million of them. Buch of idiot, hypocritical, narcissistic, bureaucrats and social agenda pushers!

This is a perfect example of the problem with Youtube and their complete failure to control their platform. This channel is part of a huge fraud being ran by a group running a so called company called MKTD or Lor Media. They claim to be based in the United States, but they are from Vietnam. They steal content and every time they get shut down, they open up another channel with instant views. This is an absolute abuse of the system and these people behind this should be criminally prosecuted. This is the problem with Youtube allowing people from countries that have inadequate governments to create channels and make money. There is no one to protect these kids because Vietnam law enforcement is utterly incompetent and corrupt. It has been over a week since reporting this to Youtube and nothing has been done. I wish I had the ability to indict these people and hold them accountable. It appears to be connected to a person claiming to be named Mark Palow. This person appears to be heavily involved in the operation, https://www.facebook.com/xuongrong.hoa.1. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRgfJSpWm-HpvaXHLzfKDuw was terminated by Youtube. You see how popular this channel was at one time here https://tz.youtubers.me/mark-palow/youtuber-stats/en

Update... This appears to be associated to some phishing emails that resulted in some kid Youtube accounts being hacked. Either way, Youtube needs to wake up and hire some people that can police their platform.

The more I look at this, this may be part of some type of hacking of youtube accounts.

Breathe deep... Ok... Now relax. I'd say most of the views are from paid advertisement... At a guess. Also they are tier 3 rate views so they would not be collecting the revenue you estimate... And that new channel is targeting Thailand by the looks. I wouldn't blame the country of the poster for this... Or am I missing something?
 
some days ago i put one of my videos which gained lots of views from kid video "as for kids", it fell really hard, then i put it back to "not for kids" and the views is going up again... even revenue... so maybe, things are going to adjust by themself over the time...
 
Because of my videos are "how-to / DIY (For Dolls) " videos, I have right to mark "non for kids" or "for kids".

"For kids" are currently marked in my videos.

Income is very low. The number of views is low - average.

If I mark "Non for kids", the income may increase but the number of views may decrease.

I can't decide what to do. I am curious about your comments.
