Brilliant idea. YouTube Kids isn't safe for kids IMO, I've said it loads. Good luck. Do you curate the videos or just prevent autosuggestions and autoplay?

Yes! Definitely agree. I don't curate videos. I just let people watch the channels they want to watch. Add a channel, it plays that channel. Add multiple, it shuffles them. There are no autosuggestions.

There are great creators on Youtube. But algos do not let people reach them. Youtube is a beautiful archive and a great search engine. But, you don't watch a search engine :)))
