Massive drop in views on kid channels

Instead of trying to transition your channel and deceive the system, designate your content properly and show the FTC that kid content creators are law abiding small businesses that want to protect children, not hurt them. All of these stories about channels just doing it for the family bonding and they had no expectation of making money is really showing to be all bogus. It is all about the money. For those kid content creators that are proudly designating their channel and continuing to make quality content, good job. Youtube may not appreciate you, but parents and the United States government does.

No one is talking of deceiving the system or harming kids here.

it's not just about the money. Animators have bills to pay too. You expect to get paid for your work. Content production is EXPENSIVE. So for Disney it is all about the money. They buy a company after a company.

I hope that this video helps to further outline the fact that there is not a light at the end of the tunnel for kids nichers. YouTube has not absorbed the backlash from creators in this segment, and is responding on the same exact level with the same exact messaging that was used in September. No personalized ads, no comments, no infocards, no endscreens, no stories, no community tab, no notification bell, no save to watch later, no save to playlist. Throw a fit about it, but also make provisions for your future. Change your niche to try and develop an alternative revenue stream, and sue in the process (lawsuits take a long time) if you feel that laws have been broken. To those who are thinking that they are going to slip through this situation by not clicking a simple checkbox, Google Cloud Vision AI (look it up - you can even play around with their demo) is crawling your content frame-by-frame, and Google can easily use that technology to provide bulk recommendations to the FTC for which fish to shoot in the barrel (FTC's words, not mine). The math shows that in order to obtain a family sustaining wage on YouTube, you have to perform well. Those top performers will rise to the top, and will be targeted. You might think that you are fine because your channel is small and not overly-visible. You have to look at your endgame if rising to the top is ultimately your goal. Do it in a niche where you can succeed!

Why no end screens? How is this against privacy?

End screens contain an option for a behaviorally targeted video. I personally disagree with the assessment here, as end screens can be used for other purposes with other video options. This however just further illustrates and emphasizes my point on YouTube's feelings on the matter. The walls are closing in.
 
So will they delete all our playlists and user made playlists?

Last year: No adult content allowed on YouTube.
This year: No kids content allowed on YouTube.
Next year: No content allowed on YouTube.
