Hey Google, here's a suggestion: how about you make it possible to restrict a kids' account to only be able to view certain channels, disabling "the algorithm" altogether? I'd even be willing to pay for that.
Of course, that would lead to kids seeing less videos, so that is apparently not an option, so while Google now tunes the algorithm a bit w.r.t. weight and fitness, it is of course no problem that any young boy wanting to see some gaming videos will still be led straightly to "Jordan Peterson destroying this feminist", Logan Paul shilling bullshit and Joe Rogan interviewing some nutjob and saying steroids are fine but vaccines are evil (yes, I'm paraphrasing).
So here we are, but fortunately, there's a solution: Disable Youtube everywhere except on a little Linux desktop PC, install freetube
Add channels that are fine, set a PIN for changing the channel list, and voila, a safe Youtube environment.
