Hey appreciate this video, love what your doing tubics here on youtube keep the videos coming. Honestly, I know other people have been complaining about this new made for kids settings on youtube.. I agree it is a pain when it comes to monitization and having comments being removed on your videos. I wish youtube could go back to the way that it was several years ago and we could make our pages customizable kind of like how we could on social media sites like myspace. We used to have the ability to change our background color and even upload images of whatever we wanted and set those to our background. It seems as time went on the less freedoms and options we have been given. This is what happens when companies become more corporate, the end user has less options. :(

Ever since this happened I am just finding out now that most all my subscribers are not able to get notifications.

This makes it so they can not click "all notifications" while being subscribed to me. See if you are having the same issue. This entire issue came to light when they started the entire (for kids) and (not for kids) and I am just finding out NOW why my views went down CONSIDERABLY!!!. I have over 114,000 subscribers and when I post a video only 200 or 300 people will see it. Most are not even my subscribers. Now there is a fix but it has to be done by every individual separately. If I tell the person to unsubscribe from me and then resubscribe they will then have the ability to click "all notifications". Problem is I have no way to reach out to all of my subscribers and tell them this. I am currently working with YT to fix this. They are now aware it is happening and said they will get back to me when they figure it out. I will try my best to keep everyone up to date.

Did anyone else experience KZbin flagging your video as “made for kids“ although it‘s clearly not? My video has adult themes (like mild violence and sexual innuendos) but was recently marked as “made for kids“. I filed a complained but KZbin declined which is really strange. Not sure how to deal with this in the future..? My KZbin analytics also cleary show that my target audience is over the age of 25.

[@DeanAnderson_dean_a_plus]

I think the KZbin Kids platform is good for kids to use. But I also think KZbin is implementing it poorly on the main platform. What they should do in my opinion is when the videos are made for kids, the features such as comments, cards etc. should be remain accessible like any other video, but ONLY on the MAIN KZbin PLATFORM. On the KZbin kids platform, all the features should be off. That way, our revenue would be stabled, KZbin won't receive so much hate and COPPA/FTC won't likely be breathing down our necks.

[@youtube-agency-tubics]

We totally agree!

I agree as well. Whatever happened to our FREEDOM OF SPEECH? I definitely agree that anyone who posts inappropriate comments should be blocked/reported/penalized or the individual uploaders can choose whether or not to enable comments or other features, but the government should not be telling us what we should do all the time unless it is to protect innocent people who can’t defend themselves.

Thank you!

[@aestheticchilledtea.5954]

Im a way that's kinda wrong because im pretty sure that a 10-13 yo doesnt wanna watch a toddler educational video...they should categorize it by age better In my opinion...because I know 10-13 yo and they DONT wanna watch baby educational cartoons...they should break it up more...

[@LoudHouseCritic2018]

All of mine are not made for children, is what I set my videos too.

great! that's what we did too

Thank you so much for this video it really helped me best explanation

These are the shitty thing that KZbin Kids videos disabled: 1. You can't comment 2. You can't ring the notification bell if the whole channel is made for kids 3. You can't miniplay 4. You can't put it on a playlist 5. KZbinrs can't get their revenue, because there are no ads There's probably more Seriously, WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!

[@shannonraymartin3176]

I don't make videos and I don't have my own KZbin platform. Therefore, COPPA can't bother me. But sometimes last year, I came across some videos on a Health channel that features an adult male having open ❤ surgery. The notification bell was disabled and no comments were allowed because Coppa apparently thought it was content MADE FOR CHILDREN to watch. WHAT WAS COPPA AND KZbin THINKING, MARKING A MEDICAL SURGICAL PROCEDURE AS MADE FOR A CHILD TO WATCH?

[@youtube-agency-tubics]

This is ridiculous...

[@coolsunsgoldenclassics]

oh wow and I thought they had completely lost it when they were starting to mark my gunsmoke old time radio episodes as made for kids.

[@lolvivo8783]

Content made for Kids, I just cant add any of them to playlist, DAMN and multiplayer is off.

Miniplayer? Also, yeah. Why can't a browse while watching a *video made for children* ?

@@yeetirosina yep miniplayer

[@Madya1234]

So, if we select ‘made for kids’, can adults still view it? And vice versa- If we select ‘not made for kids’ can kids still access the video? Will it show up in KZbin kids?

[@youtube-agency-tubics]

Adults can still watch, but if you choose "not made for kids", it won't show up in KZbin Kids.

I have a solution. Stop letting those under 13 on KZbin Ez

@Tech Entertainment depends on what kind of tutorials

[@agenthenrygaming]

Glad we tripped across this video. The whole thing is confusing. My son and I set up this channel. Not everything is black and white with regards to the rules. For example we go thrifting. He likes to introduce the video and show what we found. It’s not intended for kids, nor is he an actor. Is this “made for kids”? We have done science experiments, some would clearly not be safe for children. Or if he is playing a sport - is this made for kids? We looked up similar videos; some are and some are not labeled as made for kids. This was something nice we could do together and I do a lot of the technical repairs that he shows but again we aren’t targeting kids with old Atari or Nintendo machines. Honestly I just think it’s so confusing. I love doing this with him and he has gained so much confidence but we don’t want to do wrong either. I monitor every aspect of the channel; he helps making the videos.

[@youtube-agency-tubics]

According to the rules, if a child appears in the video, it can already be considered as "made for kids"....

My son has autism and watches a lot of his favorite shows on KZbin. We even pay for KZbin premium! It’s very fustrating that we can’t “save” kids videos onto a playlist. To easily find it and watch it later. I’ve searched all over the internet and can’t find anything to try and tell COPPA to remove this. Tons of moms of autistic kids have the same difficulties. Moms with nuero divergent kids do also. PLEASE fix this. I’ve been paying KZbin premium for a long time, but because of this rediculous thing I’ve considering stopping payments until the problem is addressed. Please someone point me into the right direction to get this fixed…. Saving videos on a playlist does not endanger kids or not “protect” kids. I don’t understand why COPPA considers this protecting kids. It doesn’t help or matter the fact they’re portraying.

[@jacobswildlifeadventures8947]

I make videos for kids AND adults but I’m gonna have to set it for kids! No comments, no links, no notification. That’s how I get my views! This is unfair for creators!

[@youtube-agency-tubics]

We know.... very unfair..

[@Andrew-ze6kq]

The worst thing about this feature for me is that comments are disabled for cartoon clips. I wanna comment and read what people have to say about cartoons from our childhoods. This is the biggest reason why COPPA ruined KZbin.

[@youtube-agency-tubics]

Same here...

[@coolsunsgoldenclassics]

We have a winner!

[@lavenderpaws4375]

But what about people who make adult cartoons/animations and animations that are violent that also appeal to kids also then what do we do? Like many other people here are saying we need a middle ground. Just put kids on KZbin kids.

[@youtube-agency-tubics]

Hi there! In this case, the videos are "not made for kids".

[@foyercatholiqueeuropeen5028]

What does it mean that "channel subscriptions are not available" if a single video is set as "made for kids". The whole channel loses its subsribers, or just that the viewers of that video are not prompted to subscribe?

[@youtube-agency-tubics]

Hi there! It's rather a second option: videos are not prompted to subscribe

[@joshajoke]

I uploaded a video, I even restricted the video. And you know what KZbin did? They removed the restriction and sent me an email giving me warning. And it's not just once. I tried three or four times. And now, the name of my latest video is "Stop Changing the audience.I know I restricted the video.Don't change it jus to give me a strike"

[@youtube-agency-tubics]

Wow! That's something new..

[@joshajoke]

@@youtube-agency-tubics I know right!

[@EuphoniousASMR]

If I upload a video and label it as "not made for kids" and don't select restrict my video to those 18 and plus, does it still show it to kids. I make videos for everyone to enjoy, what should I select?

[@youtube-agency-tubics]

Videos still be shown to kids :-)

One question? I want my comments on but if I select made for kids I can’t have them on but my shorts can be watched by any age?? And I prefer comments on, so is it bad if I select not made for kids?:(

I am publishing a children’s book and promoting it on KZbin. Not sure if I should put made for kids or not because an adult has to purchase the book once it is released not the kid.

[@nuqleus5552]

So if I want my video watched public like there is no age restricment any age can watch my video,is it made for kids or set it not made for kids?

[@youtube-agency-tubics]

If videos can be not age-restricted but still not "made for kids". Please check for these setting separately.

[@jmjtheboss]

Me made a video of a rc car "toy" and made 7 million views Video doesn't have any children at all But after few weaks I had a message that "youtube manually made that video to kids only" and warned me for future uploads !! It was shocking..and new knowledge to me that time. So everyone pls make sure that Toys, chocolate,games,etc any thing that impress kids more should be made to kids only .. algorithm might not automatically dictect it but they will look manually if that video goes viral or more views etc..

[@youtube-agency-tubics]

That's crazy! Did you manually choose "not for kids" when uploading?

[@astraightfemalewhodoesntma674]

COPPA isn't doing anything, its just blocking harmless comments, and the ability to save the video. Not the actual video itself.

[@youtube-agency-tubics]

And ads as well are not personalised :-)

if i set my videos made for kids it means only kids will be able to watch my videos? i want both kids and adults to watch my videos what shall i do?

if you set your videos as "made for kids", you will get certain restriction which we mention in the video. Adults will still be able to watch those videos.

What if your videos don't have an exact target audience? I plan to stream games and some of the games are innocent enough, like Mega Man, but I don't want to target just children. Would the option "not made for kids" be the safer option? This option has confused me ever since I started test streaming Mega Man X and Genshin Impact. I'm not making it just for kids, anyone should be able to watch my streams.

[@Adeyum64]

I mean, you last sentence basically answered your question. Just go with "not for kids" since that allows you to play the videos in the background + comment on it.

[@SrirajTips]

Hi which category is best for kids and toys channel please reply me?

[@youtube-agency-tubics]

Made for kids :-)

[@tobinotes]

So according to youtube a content is made for children if many children are watching it. With that logic even a XXX video of an adult site can be considered made for children if too many children are watching it. Great logic. It's so sad and illogical that all the animated content made for adults can be considered as made for kids, simply because the kids click on it.

[@youtube-agency-tubics]

It's super confusing, we totally agree!

[@Twilight_Sparkle]

Most of the videos with my little ponies are forcibly marked as "made for children", because "it's based on a cartoon" 😂, which is why it is impossible to comment on them and difficulties with adding to the playlist, although the overwhelming majority of the audience of these videos are not children (you know bronies), and comments in videos that are not yet marked as children are very serious. Some authors specifically add swears and scenes with a very detailed dismemberment of alive with sword, but they are still given the status for children 😂

[@youtube-agency-tubics]

Stupid...
