Specifically not like YouTube Kids. Apple makes a big deal about "human recommendations" as a jab to Google's (questionable) attempts to handle kids recommendations/filtering with machine learning.

YouTube kids is very much not curated. That's why I don't use it anymore. I stick with Netflix, PBS, Disney, Hulu, pretty much anyone other than YouTube, because YouTube is the only one I've found that's dumb enough to claim they have a kid safe area without actually curating it.

One can even say it is so egregious they could and should face legal challenges.

A library of game titles is much easier to monitor than an open video site.

It shouldn't be marketed to kids in that case. If YouTube Kids was simply YouTube, most parents wouldn't expose their kids to it. Calling it YouTube Kids and then not monitoring it for malicious content is wrong.

I don't think he was giving YouTube a pass, I think he was saying Apple has a much better shot at curating a game store.

Example, in the game Defender of the Crown (the PC one, not the Atari) all one has to block is the after-the-marrage-gif that implies sexual activity and the game is good to go.

I didn't like so much the cinemaware rendition, I liked the original raid more.
