I work for a resume company.. I hope we don't start to pick up because of this![DOUBLEPOST=1511805651,1511805055][/DOUBLEPOST]The past three videos we have posted have stayed green.. like I mentioned before, I think toy reviews are back in. No more skits, nerf, grossness, just about nothing creative. Which youtube is supposed to be all about.

I am curious as to what you feel is inappropriate for kids. Youtube right now is king of kids content and has a responsibility as a leader in this field to only allow appropriate content. There are limits on what kids should be exposed to. Part of the reason that this inappropriate content was popular was because kids were getting to see stuff they couldn't find anywhere else. If you let kids watch rated R material, they will happily watch that as well. It was shocking, provocative, and not appropriate. It was amazing to me what my kids found on the youtube kids app. Youtube should vet every creator that wants to produce content considered kid friendly and have zero tolerance for those that don't follow the rules. Skit type videos can still survive on youtube, but the skits have to promote lawful activity that does NOT violate social norms. Kids content might be corny, but there is no way around it. If you want to make gross creative videos that promote unacceptable behavior then post away on youtube, but don't market to kids. I would even support youtube suspending ads for a six month period in the kids space and let the channels that produce content for more than just money come to the top.

Definitely all the gross poop/pee stuff, adults dressed up like babies, sexual stuff in some of the superhero channels.. but some of our videos, like my sons spider-man birthday was "not suitable for all advertisers" and was confirmed by manual review.. that doesn't make sense to me.. nor does our video where we won a give away for stuffed animals, that one was " not suitable for all advertisers" as well.

Also, I keep hearing that alot of skits were getting the Yellow $ as well... because people are concerned about child labor.. making kids act in skits and such. I even heard Slime DIY's might even be a no no because it's gross.

One thing I'd like to point out is that popular characters like Disney aren't copyrighted. They are trademarked. Only a work can be copyrighted. So maybe an official Elsa mask might be copyrighted, but I don't think including it in a video would be considered infringement of that since you aren't making a copy of the mask. And certainly dressing up to look like her wouldn't be copyright infringement.

I've read all the posts up to this point and, wow, is this crazy. I wonder how much it would affect my channel because YouTube could decide that my content is being marketed to kids since I use a lot of stuff from kids shows. But I won't know for a while because my channel is down right now. Mine's for copyright, though. But there was talk of taking a break to let everything blow over, so I guess in a way I'm forced to.
 
I think the only way Youtube can come out of this horrible and mismanaged situation is to put human reviewers in charge of the Kids App.

Pretty sure they can afford to hire like 100 people, say each one of them review accurately 5-10 channels per day, and you can add 500-1000 new creators to the kids app roster everyday - to avoid people gaming the system just put a thresold of 100k total views on the channel or something like that *and* a zero tolerance policy in case a creator after being included start to put out disturbing content out of the blue.

They can amortize the cost of this charging more the advertisers for promoting on the kids app, telling them that they listened to the complaints and if they want to keep the quality control, a surcharge is needed.

In addition to that, STATE CLEARLY on Youtube main site that the parents are responsible of what they children could run into if they let them run amock the site outside the kids app - as no different in any other part of the internet or on TV.

I like this idea and in fact the creators themselves could be charged by taking an additional 1% of the revenue share to pay for review staff to ensure content is clean. A good example of what kids content should be is EvantubeHD. They set the bar high and then everyone else came in destroying the kids section. Youtube does have to take responsibility for letting this get out of hand. Many channels like babyteeth4 used to get a lot of views with good family friendly content. The algorithm killed them and because they were used to the money they turned to bad baby, creepy clowns, and inappropriate categories. A lot of channels rolled the dice in the name of money and boy are they paying the price now. Philip DeFranco did another good video on this issue today and included babyteeth4 as an example.

I honestly wouldn`t mind the 1% taxation on creators in order to be inserted in YT kids following a review.

Babyteeth4 is actually a pretty active user on this forum, wonder if he/she will reply to Phil, would be nice hearing the other side of the story.
 
So sorry to all of you that have your channels upside down.

It's tragic to see such a double standard for some channels. In particular nerf guns were talked about. And yet, Extreme Toys TV has mainly nerf gun videos and they have only lost 14 Million views compared to the size of that channel that aren't being penalized as much as others in here.
 
Even noticed Toy Genie Surprises lost 169 Million views and they are, I thought just a clean doll toy play channel. I don't remember seeing anything that would be perceived as dark.
 
My video with drawing of baby joker got marked with yellow & few days back . Kinetik Sand channels removing knifes from the old videos....
