Putting up barriers on one privately owned website isn’t the same as making people less free to share their ideas. Particularly when the barrier might be something so benign as “to be included as kids content this video must be pre-approved”.
But won’t someone think of the poor content creators who might have to wait or upload their content somewhere else!

It's people's livelihoods. There is nowhere else.
"Think of the children" is equally bland.

So the issue isn't sharing ideas it's monetizing sharing those ideas?
This sentiment is so shocking that I had to say something.
Please no. Let's not encourage a world where people are even less free to share their ideas.
I get where you're coming from, but "Think of the children!" has been used to justify so many evils throughout history. It's an emotional appeal that should be resisted.
Putting up barriers would also be the first step towards losing dominance. But in the short term, it would suck not being able to share a video without waiting a long time or being approved.
