What did you expect? Google is an ad company, first and foremost. Everything else is just a funnel.

Something like, perhaps, the same standards and sense as in traditional broadcasting.

A funnel promoting pick up trucks and financial services to toddlers? Do they count that as an "impression" in the statistics that they feed the client? It seems like borderline fraud.

You can pay for YouTube premium to get rid of ads, maybe just do that? Or don't let your 3 year old kid watch YouTube in the first place, and show them something from traditional broadcasting. Before complaining about broadcasting standards, maybe first up your parenting standards.

"My /own/ children don't see inappropriate ads; therefore there isn't any problem."

"Before whining for ice cream, maybe first eat your dinner!"

Does Youtube Premium offer higher standards? The post you're replying to isn't asking for fewer ads.

Youtube Premium has no ads.
