Massive drop in views on kid channels

Our camp shares a lot of the frustrations that you do Terrors (with the organization). We're done here, but we're not just going to turn things off, because YouTube ultimately won't care if we turn things off. Susan's pocketbook will continue to grow bigger. There will always be more creators than advertising dollars - the well is designed to not run dry. We've been kind of quiet over the last few weeks, spreading our assets out over other monetization platforms that smaller creators can't really touch (none of them come anywhere near to Google Ads - but we don't care at this point). We then intend to take our channels and focus on kids niche creator advocacy, highlighting the steps that YouTube made in the wrong direction and emphasizing various aspects of the organization that don't make sense. YouTube is going to turn into a minefield if enough creators do this. We understand that the result of this will be a spiraling of our channel out of control and a net-loss of revenue for the company. We've managed to grow big while staying small(ish) and so our employees won't be impacted because of the diversification of our assets to other platforms. It'll set us back a few years but we can afford it.

Completely agree. I feel a sudden relief of stress no longer caring about what the algorithm will do next. I have instead focused my efforts on bringing down this monster. I hope to have a federal lawsuit filed in about six months. Let's see how Youtube does outside of the friendly confines of California where judges bow to silicon valley.
 
I have 2 similar channel with "DIY for Kids and Moms" videos. I change one of my channel's videos to "not for Kids" other is still "for kids"

When i changed my channel's videos to "not for kids" views are down 80% in 2 days. But "page RPM" increase %300 (similar to 1 month ago level)

should I change my other channel now, i don't know..

Shouldn't you change your channel based on who the target audience is and not where you will earn more money. We all know right now the money is with not for kids videos but that is not a factor in choosing who your videos target.

I show the children what they can do. I show the families what they can do with their children as a family activity. Who should I target?

Unfortunately, I am not doing a social responsibility project. This is my professional job to make money.

I'm not showing children in the videos.

I use semi-advanced crafting tools that can not suitable for children. I show just my hands and what i do. Like 5-Minute Crafts videos.

I guess that too many children watch because it attracts the attention of the children.

But they cannot make most of my videos without family guidance.
