That's easy. What about when they get older?
Talk to them honestly without pandering about how to be discerning about what they watch?
Find things to watch with them that are genuinely enjoyable for you both?
Make sure you always interact with them in an open, accepting, genuinely-involved way so that they tell you what they've been watching and respect your opinions on those things?

I totally agree with the lists mentioned in that post, as my sister and I watched a good amount of them. But like my post said, there's a decline in good TV shows for kids. All of those shows mentioned are finished, none of them are currently ongoing shows right? Do they still broadcast them? Now parents have to pay for Disney+ to have something that isn't slop for their kids to watch.
Honestly, I haven't followed the state of Western animation much the last few years, so I can believe that there are fewer good shows than there used to be.
That said, animation is extremely expensive to produce for the amount of media it creates. Combine that with creative writing (well, art in general) being very under-appreciated, and therefore poorly-paid-for, there are a lot of societal/business pressures working against shows like this being produced. I only bring that up because people being unwilling to pay for non-slop is a big contributor to the problem.
(Not to defend Disney or the other mega-corps nickel-and-diming us for shareholder profits, of course. If only these companies would use their billions to fund shows from enthusiastic new creators rather than dumping everything into forgettable live-action remakes and CEO bonuses >_>)

YouTube "algorithms" are nonsense. I watch one deep dive into the fallout games and despite the fact that I have, and continue to watch British TV shows it's relentless in showing me deep dives into "fallout lore". What I've chosen is like 3% of what I usually watch. It's not a very popular genre in comparison to, oh, the fucking BBC. Still, it's all of the sudden its the only thing that gets suggested.

That is the easy part. my kids piano lessons track which is next and their practice, then the video is embedded. it also doesn't work on the roae unless I get a vpn.

Seeing TADC in the thumbnail and the "stock footage with scaryvoice" shockumentary intro immediately put me off this video (plus a link to another video from the same person with the same thumbnail but with Minecraft characters; seems like a good racket). So, my two cents:
🪙: The Amazing Digital Circus is a pretty-brilliant psychological horror adult animation. It shouldn't be recommended to little kids, for sure, but it's not "disgusting content."
🪙🪙: There is definitely a problem with the stuff being recommended to kids on YouTube. Google has no real incentive to fix it, of course, but leaving a kid to watch YouTube at random long enough to wander into the really weird shit is kind of on the parents. It's a video service that cares only about serving ads, not a babysitter; either adjust your expectations or stop complaining.
There are plenty of services for only a few dollars a month that are actively safe for kids. Quick DDG found this (and I'm a little dubious about them including the big players like Netflix and Prime, but they also list stuff that looks better): https://thestreamable.com/video-streaming/best-streaming-service-for-kids
Anyway, here's a much better video courtesy of Dan Olson about the weird stuff on YouTube aimed at kids: https://youtu.be/LKp2gikIkD8 (and its only 15 minutes long)
It's pretty clear that you didn't actually watch the video... The video has nothing against TADC...

There can absolutely be educational content for kids on YT, but compared to the egregious amount of mind-numbing/fetishy content, it's totally not worth it. It's a shame how there feels like a lack/decline of quality kids/tween TV shows being broadcasted, I was talking to my mom about how kids really don't have a lot to watch once they hit age 9+.
I was talking to my mom about how kids really don’t have a lot to watch once they hit age 9+.
This is completely true, and it's because all the major cable networks stopped funding good shows.
They only pay for lazy, easy to produce shit that nobody cares about.
Gone are the days of Adventure Time and Avatar.

Could create a playlist of the lessons in jellyfin, iduno if its secure enough to use without a vpn though. Could just save them to a usb drive or laptop instead

The Amazing Digital Circus is disgusting content...?
Is this video pearl clutching? It's pearl clutching, isn't it?

Totally agree about the shockumentary style, however OP's video goes into stuff so much worse.

I haven't watched the video yet, but I think TADC has unwillingly joined the "kids" content mill, which is probably what might be referenced.
Even Gooseworx dislikes how those content mill channels have abused TADC's popularity for their own profit while neither she nor Glitch can do much about it.

Stop begging for censorship. That never ends up good. Accurate tagging of media is what we need and a way to filter that ourselves.
It's not really begging for censorship, it's begging for healthier consumption.
The issue is entirely one of parenting IMO. I've seen what's on YouTube kids and my kids aren't allowed to watch anything on YouTube without my supervision.
Gross sexual stuff, violence, and cruelty is being pushed to your children as fun with flashy colors and silly sounds. Go watch YouTube kids for a while, click on the random kids channels not the corporate ones.
We're not talking about sex education and more mature topics, these shoes are promoting sexual violence, violence, bullying, and it's all being pushed in a fun way.
It's a parenting problem, and the parents need to be educated on it. They don't see the problem, kids have their own phones, and Google doesn't give a fuck they will push the must engaging most addicting most disturbing content to your kids to keep them watching.

Hmm. I never watch Youtube Kids, but regular Youtube is one of my primary entertainment sources. All I get if I keep scrolling are people making food, game play throughs, science channels, animation, AMVs. The worst thing I see are music videos no worse than MTV had... Maybe you should just ban them from YouTube Kids... My biggest complaint is that I have to manually click on subscriptions to see the things I subscribed to. I pay for premium, so maybe that makes a difference?
