Melissa Hunter, quoted in this article, is an example of a kids content creator that did it the right way. Her channel was punished hard when Google started letting the crap channels proliferate. I'm not worried about the increased views for the Korean Arab channel. It won't last. As I previously stated, Youtube will only be allowing trusted content creators moving forward. There are even some huge kid channels that did things the wrong way in the past, deleted videos, and now act like they are saints once millions of dollars got put in their bank. Trust me, this will not get overlooked.

seems like everyone knows how youtube works but me 
I try to do things the right way but im not sure i believe in karma anymore. I see a lot of bad actors getting away with things and prospering. Im pretty low risk tolerant anyways so i try to keep it safe. But im not sure about things not getting overlooked. Too many channels and videos for youtube to micromanage.
Ive been following this channel dodobee that was removed for copyright infringement of chu chu tv. Dodobee immediately bounced back with new videos on their other channels. They already have millions of new views after their copyright removal. And theyre doing all that korean arabic stuff. Youtube smashes the ban hammer on bad channels but those channels just find other ways to game the system and thrive.
i dont know what youtube will do. Or can do. Just going to try to recover again from the collateral damage. Hopefully im considered a trusted creator and finally get some help with my channel. Its tough being on the losing side of these algorithm events.

Dodobee and all other ones with nursery rhymes especially use kids’ emotion and not their knowledge skills and just simple thinking to analyze the content that’s why they get all the views. It’s like junk food for kids. Like action movies for grown ups. YouTube is in its 90s. The matrix is coming soon. It will change the story line for all the movies.
According to this Bloomberg article YouTube told channel Tiny Tunes this:
So even though his content is fine according to YouTube, he is being punished by the algorithm too...BLOOMBERG ARTICLE said:
I have seen hundreds of Vietnamese channels spamming nursery song videos. Almost all the same.
I put some arab and korean keywords and video was marked not suitable for advertisers.
Also some big channels that did the same have deleted foreign tags and went back to English.
Probably because the Algorithm is punishing spam keywording which is huge the pass week.

Tubefilter have also written an interesting round up of the situation: https://www.tubefilter.com/2019/08/...-decimated-kid-friendly-creators-view-counts/
Extract:
A YouTube spokesperson tells Tubefilter that the change, which impacted both YouTube’s core platform and its family-friendly side app YouTube Kids, is specifically intended to “[improve] the ability for users to find quality family content.”
Essentially, YouTube futzed with its search and discovery systems — the cogs of its inner workings that hook up viewers with videos they might want to watch. Again, that’s not something new; YouTube does it a lot. (The spokesperson also told us, “We make hundreds of changes every year to make it easier for people to find what they want to watch on YouTube.”)
What makes this change different is that in action, the new tweak seems to have separated kids’ content into two classifications: content that should be promoted, and content that shouldn’t.
