Kid's video streaming is like a tattoo: You get what you pay for. (Really disturbing stuff on the youtube kids app)


Has anyone else noticed weird perverted kid's videos on Youtube??Peppa-the-pig eating shit, Elsa dismembering her fingers and them going in the toilet(???), Spiderman groping breasts, etc etc etc. Then the "related videos" keep playing in a never-ending stream.A lot of the videos look and sound normal. All the parent will see is a Micky video, but then 5 minutes in, Micky will shoot himself in the head or something. No weird sound effects will accompany it and it'll happen quick. This is intentional on the part of the sick content creators, to keep parents from noticing. Toddlers won't react or act scared...they just silently watch and take it in.To make it worse, these videos get millions of hits through the YouTube Kids App that is supposed to be "child friendly". The idea is that a parent can "safely" give their child a tablet or phone and let them watch videos through the app, one after another after another. You can turn off the search function, but the "related videos" will keep popping up.Kids keep clicking related video after related video and viewing mind-numbing garbage.Creepy AF.Why would ADULTS spend so much time making these weird videos? Other than ad revenue what is their motive? Are they trying to screw up the kid's mind or what?Never let your kid on youtube unsupervised! Pay a few bucks and give them a movie to watch or something. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2huOdtv
