Personally I think a fee would make more sense. You have to have at least 20 videos, and then you submit an application for a $100 fee, if your approved you can be shown on YT kids.

Even better: 30 videos, 3 months active, 1M+ channel views, 1k+ subscribers, $250 fee. No problem meeting those criteria for those who want to seriously work in the space and are committed. That would still make it the cheapest business ever to start. Even a crummy old food van will set you back $30k, or a centre-aisle stall in a shopping centre at least $15k, so starting a Yt kids channel business for less than $1k is fantastic.

I am YouTube certified and I have access to some additional tools that normal YouTube accounts don't have, like CMS and ContentID, plus I have contact with big YouTubers, that also have CMS. Additionally I have reach to some parts of YouTube that I explicitly asked for them in the past, and YouTube enabled them for me after long discussions and convincing from my side. YouTube is much bigger than what most people think and even I was amazed to find that you can combine YouTube with IBM Aspera for mind-boggling amount of content delivery.

If you don`t mind me asking - what is the daily views amount necessary to make a request to be entered in the Content ID system?
 
This really isn't new behavior for Google/Youtube. They really don't care what their algorithm rollouts or changes do to the livelihoods of content creators. The Google algo constantly screws with people's websites, and many sites that are completely whitehat will get penalized because the rollouts aren't perfect. I got started in online marketing in 2011 and was finally making about $20 a day for a few short weeks until Google made a change to their algorithm which is now known as Google Penguin. I remember feeling proud that I was actually starting to have some success, only to have it wiped out overnight. Thousands of whitehat sites were wiped out along with the blackhat sites, and it caused many website owners to go out of business.

I learned something that day: Google/ YouTube don't care about us, and we should never leave our fate in their hands.

Yupp, as long as YT after that commits to treat creators as proper business partners and not cows to be milked and then butchered as soon as the next scandal goes mainstream :D

So true, I lived (survived?) through those days and the EPN (Ebay Partner Network, is that still a thing?) era, can`t wait for the day when Google, Amazon and the likes will be forced to treat their affiliates as business partners and not as throwaway milk cows

I really doubt those days will come in our lifetimes. The nature of capitalism is profit maximization and the expenditure of resources. There is no better epitome of capitalism that Google, Ebay, Amazon and the like. They exist purely to exploit resources. For this to change, the fundamental nature of human society needs to change. Ain't going to happen in any foreseeable future.

Ebay suppliers, Youtube creators, Amazon authors, all are expendable resources. I like the words milk cows though!!

So true. Every few months Google does something else to try to prevent people from making money online: ads pushing down the search results, featured snippets, etc. I recently came across an article about the guy who created CelebrityNetWorth.com. The site was extremely successful until Google decided to start featured snippets which displays the information at the top of the search if you were to search something like: "how much is george clooney worth?" The guys traffic tanked.
