Massive drop in views on kid channels

This is an interesting occurrence, but it is too small of a sample to make any conclusions about an algorithm change. The chances of kid channels even remotely returning to normal statistics is simply not possible. At least in the sense that ads are regularly displayed on them. We know that the FTC and the DOJ are going to heavily sanction Google and a consent decree will be entered to enforce the rules moving forward. We just don't know the specifics. We know Google will want to keep kid viewers, but at what cost is the question. I feel very comfortable in saying that Google will move forward with selecting content creators for the kid space. This goes against Youtube's open policy of promoting and allowing all creators; however they simply have no legitimate alternative. Who gets cut and can they appeal is a big question mark.

Before I applied to enter the partner program I originally was asked by them if they could place ads next to my videos. Human vetting of my channel was how it was done. It should never have changed to an automatic membership . This alone ruined everything good about the partner program. Scammers and click bait became the norm. And we all got lumped into the gumbo. I hope they manually review from now on.
 
It does look like something changed today for some, many of the channels I monitor have gone up and are in the green, while others are even worse....not sure if they are reviewing them manually or not but definitely something is up . At least it is good to see something happening. even cocomelon is down by about 60% or more...
