These rules are so incredibly stupid. I'm a homeschool mom. I use KZbin in my lessons A LOT. Everything from nature videos to science experiments to history lessons. Not everything I use comes from "kids channels". You know how many King of Random experiments we've done? I rely on the website to create and maintain playlists for the whole school year (and for future use, since I have more than one kid). Not being able to create playlists just because it's considered "kids content" is going to seriously throw my curriculum off track. I don't want to have to go and look up the videos I need every single time I need them. Parents need to take back responsibility and start monitoring what their kids watch, rather than expecting Big Daddy Government to solve all their problems.

[@WitherRakdos]

The biggest problem is KZbin, not Coppa. The FTC has said that they understand that some content is general audience, KZbin just won't let people do it. Either you're shoved off the platform for being family friendly or make no money for being too edgy.

And ONLY allow what they deem as appropriate for their kids to be consumed. Its NOT the governments responsibility to take responsibility for and hold kids' hands and do what the kids' parents should actually be doing.

The way the FTC explains it is if your videos are with kids, think of Clifford the big Red Dog, and you talk like a preschool teacher would, your video is for kids only. If you're building something with Lego's, or walking through a theme park, and you're giving tips and tricks on something, your video is for adults.

can someone comment for me this:I just want to say that I have seen many family-friendly videos and many videos that kids would like, and seen my cousins watch them, that is awesome. those videos make children laugh, and they learn stuff, like safe science experiments like, for example, how to make playdoh, or how to make slime, that these new rules might make them have to leave cause they need to pay bills. and I know that my cousins and even I would be sad to go. and daycare videos that make adults and kids laugh that have to stop for the same reasons. I get that your goal is to protect children, and I want that too, but I feel like you can do it less harshly. the way I would do it is that I would keep the "for kids" switch, but make it so that you keep the same rules as regular videos, but if there is swearing, cursing, or inappropriate stuff that children shouldn't see, then fine them. youtube is a job for all KZbinrs, they need it to pay the bills, and I feel that these new rules will put a lot of people out of their jobs.

In any case, you affirm that you are over the age of 13, as the Service is not intended for children under 13. If you are under 13 years of age, then please do not use the Service. There are lots of other great web sites for you. Talk to your parents about what sites are appropriate for you. So if you’re 12 and under on here, you’re violating their terms of service. That’s a liability that falls on your parents, not on content creators.

A very important UPDATE and a COPPA WORKAROUND. I'm starting to see that these kids vs adults videos is confusing the machine learning systems. The Thomas toy train adult buyers guide I did was set as my to be adult, but KZbin flipped it to restricted ad's kids video. I now see KZbin has flipped it back to being an adult video. I am getting screenshots of this, so it may look like there are ways of presenting toys and still remain an adult set video. It's all in the core context of the video. Make a toy, game or anime video in the right context and it will be an adult video on KZbin. Sad so much fear mongering is going on it's destroying the confidence of creators. KZbin have never backed down on a decision, but creators have always had to find a workaround.

Signed and left comment on the FTC’s comment page. Good thing I’m skilled in the fine art of being cordial, because my thoughts on their law looked a lot kinder in writing than they did in my head :)

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

They even marked WW2 tanks as "made for kids" so if that's made for kids, I don't know what isn't. A lot of communities on YT (like animation and Lego) will be affected by this and I hope they make some changes before January. I don't think they realize there are adult fans of Lego and Disney, not all the sets Lego makes are for kids. Yes there are alternatives to YT but I have a feeling the FTC will follow us if we go to Vimeo or Bitchute

[@dracos0024]

@@authorjoannawhite Oh, I wasn't saying that targeting kids content was gonna work, cause the person who came up with that can go get driven over by a bus for all I care. The problem is that KZbin already has an age limit of 13+, but kids just lie about their age.

Why can’t KZbin get rid of personalized ads

[@thebackup2121]

Google owns KZbin, and this is how they make their money - Collecting private information and selling it on for the creation of personalised ads

[@thebackup2121]

Really any free app or website was only kept around or bought by big companies, because it could be monetised with advertising

[@SilverHawk214]

It would cut the amount of money that the KZbinrs make by 80 to 90 percent. Therefore also reducing what KZbin makes.

[@heartfullbutterfly314]

As he said in the video personal ads make up 60-90% of youtuber revenue. If the got rid of it youtubers would either take a massive pay decrease or youtube would need to figure out another system to categorize how much the creators make

[@TwentyPercentDash]

We need to write to the FTC and request that anyone of any age can make a KZbin account. Then propose making the user's site experience change based on the age of the user, so that comments and targeted ads vanish across the site if a user is under 13. In other words, COPPA needs to shift the focus to the viewer, rather than individual videos. The reason this whole thing started was because YT didn't allow those under 13 to make an account. Kids lied so they could make an account. But by allowing kids to make an account, the incentive to lie about their age to get onto YT vanishes, fixing the whole issue.

[@victoriabell9546]

This is a great idea. You should put this in a comment on the FTC's website. Here's the link: www.regulations.gov/comment?D=FTC-2019-0054-0001

[@shel1352]

Thank you Brian for bringing this up. I had know idea what this was until I watched this video. Then I looked more into it because my friend is a KZbinr who would also be affected by this change. The KZbin people are billionaires and to them the fine isn’t even making a dent in their money. $42,000 dollars is a lot and I guess they think KZbinrs are rich because after they take away 80% of your money you can’t pay that fine. I would love to sign the petition but I am a young viewer, but not young enough to not understand what’s happening. This has been great but I can understand if you quit if this all happens.

[@rikuwisteria583]

Can't the moderators of youtube have a system put in place that one, will auto choose if old videos are kid friendly or not, and two, also give you a warning via email saying that the video is kid friendly, if you post new ones and forget to label it kid friendly, or better yet, have you go through a process that you submit it, and then the moderator chooses the age level of the video for you, to eventually get posted at the right level? Next thing you know, the service will be telling us the site is strictly for purchasing movies and shows no longer on television.

[@TheMunk23]

Hey Brian, I wanted to say that I’m sorry for the events taking place to you and other content creators. I would like to say that I have seen many of your videos and I find them to be very entertaining and enjoyable to watch. Watching this video breaks my heart because all you want to do is be a entertainer. I myself have consider starting a KZbin channel but I can see that the FTC and Coppa has other things I’m mind. Keep your head brother because we all believe that this isn’t right. I work at a theme park so I know the enjoyment you can get out of stepping into a different world to find yourself and be who you really are. I appreciate you and other content creators for inspiring me to want to start a KZbin channel but I’m sure viewers will agree with me to say that this sucks, but support is going to keep coming. Stay positive my friend. A kind message to keep your spirits up.

[@Androssverse]

Just say “F***” at the start of every video and you’re good. That’s a joke but judging by what you said it might work lol.

It might not. If you fall into at least 2 catagories of child friendly bam get fined up to $42k. Regardless of how many times you say anything non child friendly; if your videos are bright colored and contain animation bam! Breaking the rule There just are too many gray areas

[@Androssverse]

heartfullbutterfly Yea, I know. I don’t think Brian would even be opposed to labeling his content as “kid-friendly” but, like you said, there’s too many grey areas and he would lose like 90% of his ad revenue. It’s not fair at all :/

@@heartfullbutterfly314 That second bit concerns me, I have a couple videos which are not what I would term kid-friendly--not horrible stuff, but not age appropriate for younger kids--but I used some animated films which might draw younger viewers in...debating on just taking those down. :/

[@KamakazeTaco]

They're not making a mistake, you just don't understand their goal. Protecting the kids is just a cover, the goal is censorship. You know what appeals to kids? Video games. You know who tends to say non PC things? Gamers. We've already seen some channels who only play M rated games have videos marked for kids, even after they changed the rating to not for kids someone manually goes through and sets it again to for kids. And unfortunately this means channels like this and those weird slime channels are going to get hurt for no reason. Because you're right. If this was just an attempt to protect kids then it's pretty dumb. But if you look at the bigger picture you can see why they do it.
