Parents should be made responsible for whatever their kids are watching online, not anyone else

[@Dori6584]

SOMEONE SAID IT!!!

[@dragonmaster1500]

You'd think, and hope, that would be the case but unfortunately we in the west live in a society where the mantra is, almost quite literally in some cases, "not my problem". Because the US and Canada are very capitalistic/materialistic focused societies the generation currently in their 30s to 40s, aka the generation with the largest number of parents currently, is so focused on earning wealth and increasing their pay check that anything which stands in the way of that, a smelly, annoying kid for example, is ignored in favour of spending more time making money. So where are these kids going to turn when they're ignored by their parents in favour of gaining more wealth? The internet usually. Either that or they get pawned off on teachers who are forced to teach children the basic skills that should have been instilled in them by parents, basically being used as free daycare, but that's a whole other can of worms. Because parents are acting irresponsibly towards the raising of their kids other people are being blamed for their incompetence while parents get off scot free, if they're lucky they might even get some money out of it because they'll sue the people who obviously aren't teaching their children properly, or are allowing their kids to watch inappropriate content. Anyway, sorry for the rant, but this is a subject that I'm rather passionate about, my mother is actually a teacher so I've seen her needing to deal with these kinds of issues whenever it comes time to renegotiate her work contract.

[@rewt3406]

Listen, its not that parents shouldn't let kids watch the videos, but its the parents job to teach the kids why watching videos that aren't suited for them is inappropriate. I have a younger cousin that loves watching horror (as well as Roblox) and she watches that KZbin channel that has creepy monster shorts. I think its called CryptTV. She's super young too. All this is, is the government trying to sanction more limitations on a platform that grew too large. KZbin has a monopoly on the Online Video market, and its why having other forms and ways to do things is necessary. I hope that different sites like Bing and Vimeo grow enough and improve their site's enough to gain more traction.
