YT kids is like concentrated nastiness

I naively tried it for my then 2 y/o daughter, and there was some really nasty stuff showing up that was unsuitable for anyone under 18, even stuff about body dismemberment and extreme violence. There were more nasty videos than things suitable for a child to watch!!!

I immediately removed the app from her tablet.

Normal YT is still has lots of nastiness, but the percentage is far less; I have been letting her use YT since she was 3 1/2, and she is nearly 5, and only once have I had to intervene and say "no, it isnt suitable for you".

There are a lot of good providers of educational, and entertainment value - apart from the TV show rips; but far too much mashed together crap drowning it out.
