I just have to post this because I am soooooo tired of all the videos and stuff I see all over the internet about how dangerous YouTube Kids is. It isn't! It's actually fine! You don't have to let your kids have access to aaaaaallllll of the videos! There is a whitelist feature! It's literally part of the set up process! JFC! My children only have access to videos and channels I specifically chose for them! Like PBS Kids! Please spread the word so I can stop running into these goddamn fearmongering videos.

We definitely still need to be careful about the overall time and stuff they spend online. I'm just annoyed at all the videos and posts and comments I keep coming across on various sites that say letting your kids use youtube kids at all is dangerous because they'll find inappropriate videos.
