Will O'CallaghanHOST
Yeah, also multi-device as well, which is the other big advantage of all that.
Will O'CallaghanHOST
YouTube Kids.
Will O'CallaghanHOST
How restrictive or non-restrictive is YouTube Kids then?
Andy O'DonoghueGUEST
This is really interesting because I asked some people, friends of mine with kids, if they were familiar with it and many people aren't.
Andy O'DonoghueGUEST
So YouTube Kids is free and essentially it's approved content only.
Andy O'DonoghueGUEST
So parents can choose the videos, the channels and the collections that their kids can watch.
Andy O'DonoghueGUEST
And so in this mode, children can't search freely for other videos, which is really useful.
Ian MurrayGUEST
Well, we're looking at an Australia Plus ban, if that's the best way of describing it.
Ian MurrayGUEST
So YouTube Kids isn't banned in Australia.
Ian MurrayGUEST
YouTube are trying to develop new services at the moment for teenagers that might come and fall out with provisions of the ban.
Ian MurrayGUEST
So watching YouTube on television will be age-gated unless you have an account an adult can access for you to watch on your family television.
Ian MurrayGUEST
You can only watch YouTube Kids as we are sitting here today if we go with the Australia Plus ban.
Ian MurrayGUEST
In terms of gaming, the reason we're doing Australia Plus is to look at those features and functions of gaming.
Ian MurrayGUEST
So it's the stranger pairing, it's the stranger communications, that's where most of the harm happens, the loot boxes, those kinds of things, the chatbots that go alongside them.
Ian MurrayGUEST
So going onto YouTube to learn how to play the guitar is not harmful content, but going onto YouTube to play the guitar does lead you to harmful content.

stay on the app.
Kris FadeHOST
A few of you are messaging, there's YouTube Kids.
Kris FadeHOST
I know, he doesn't, we've tried that.
Kris FadeHOST
He knows the content on YouTube Kids is not what he likes.
Big RossiHOST
There's no pregnant women.
Kris FadeHOST
So when you know you open up YouTube, like when you open up Netflix, it's got different accounts, like Brianna, Chris, you know.
Dark DomHOST
Please comment on my video.
Dark DomHOST
Try YouTube Kids, an app made just for kids.
Dark DomHOST
This is a tale as old as time.
Dark DomHOST
Of course, also, you know, the kids trying to get people to comment on the video.
Sunny GaltHOST
And it is when I go in and I see my son.
Sunny GaltHOST
My son loves to play with the iPad and we have the YouTube Kids app on it.
Sunny GaltHOST
Which really, they should monitor that a little bit more because there is a lot of stuff on there that I'm like, what up with that? But the biggest thing on there that drives me crazy is when my kids watch the videos where I swear all they're doing is unraveling plastic Easter eggs to find out what the prize is.
Sunny GaltHOST
And my sons, both of them, will sit there like it is.
Joseph BirdsongHOST
Everything's cringe to them.
Joseph BirdsongHOST
When the kids come over, they say everything's cringe, and then they proceed to watch YouTube Kids, which is the most cringe.
Joseph BirdsongHOST
Right, it's like...
Joseph BirdsongHOST
It's backwards.
Allison OchsHOST
But almost all kids watch YouTube.
Allison OchsHOST
And even YouTube Kids isn't safe.
Allison OchsHOST
And then parents let their kids play Roblox.
Allison OchsHOST
And that's not safe either.
Brian SchulmeisterHOST
And we did.
Brian SchulmeisterHOST
And, you know, we did things like we paid for YouTube Kids, which still managed to have, you know, Fucking horrible videos sneak through, horrible ads sneak through.
Brian SchulmeisterHOST
It was it was bad.
Brian SchulmeisterHOST
Like it was really bad to the point that like my wife and I just said, that's it.
Tony DunnGUEST
But at the time, YouTube wasn't really controlling who came on.
Tony DunnGUEST
And YouTube Kids had launched, and that was algorithmic as well.
Tony DunnGUEST
So people were producing these weird versions.
Tony DunnGUEST
So copycats in Russia and other YouTube farms would essentially recreate these videos that were successful shot for shot.

I'm Herb Weisbaum, the Consumer Man, and you're listening to Consumerpedia, powered by Checkbook.org. Consumerpedia Fast Facts.
speaker_1NARRATOR
A study by researchers at the University of Connecticut found children ages 3 through 8 are frequently exposed to promotions for candy, sugary drinks, fast food, and salty snacks while watching YouTube and YouTube Kids.
speaker_1NARRATOR
During just 30 minutes of viewing on their own devices, 75% of 6-8 year olds and 36% of 3-5 year olds saw ads for unhealthy food and beverages, with an average of 7 marketing messages per session.
speaker_1NARRATOR
More than half of these food ads were from companies that participate in the food industry's voluntary children's advertising program, despite pledges to market healthier products to kids.
