Ok, so here is the unspoken reason why COPA was enacted. It was ALL Youtube's fault. Does anybody remember the "Youtube Heroes Program"?
It was basically youtube wanting to cut corners & hired a bunch of Youtubers to police videos. With enough clout you were given access to all of Youtubes powers as an admin, you could flag, ban, suspend & most important of all, you could contact any creator.
Long story short, it was not Youtube that was gathering Children's data, it was Pedos that were gathering data & contacting children. By the time Youtube woke up it was too late. The program lasted a few short months but it was enough to cause all this collateral damage. Why do you think that all of a sudden, all the childrens' account had their comments disabled by Youtube? Why do you think they increased the amount of subscribers needed to livestream from your phone? (that is what kids use to stream from generally)
Kids should never have been allowed on Youtube unless it was a family channel with mom & dad. I have long contemplated making a video about it but it is a very volatile topic & I would rather not have that on my channel.

Here is a very interesting article from Bloomberg outlining how YouTube plans on deploying its $100 million "kids content fund":
"Courage, curiosity, teamwork and self-control. These are four of the 12 criteria that YouTube will use in deciding what types of kids videos it will fund, according to a document the company sent to partners recently.
YouTube plans to spend $100 million to fund original kids programming over the next three years, following a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission in September. The programming will be for audiences aged 3 to 8, and be available exclusively on the YouTube Kids app."

yt manager sent this to us. They want us to give them ideas for new cartoons and if they are ok then you have to make so many of them. I think it's not worth it since producing animation is expensive.
I thought kids content is 13 and under? So if our audience is for kids 9 and older should we start marking it not for kids. It just goes to show you the YouTube kids app is truly for younger kids. Kids 8, 9 and up are not using the kids app and it's not geared for kids 9 and up.
I know. 100 mil views per day. It’s nuts. 3 billion views per month
