    I pay for a YouTube premium family plan. It’s probably a rip off but my kids enjoy content on YouTube more than any other platform but YouTube is not safe for children with ads enabled (and YouTube kids is a joke)

    Soggy cereal made a video about how YouTube ads are unsafe a few weeks ago and that was exactly my experience before I started paying for yt premium, look that up if you are curious

      It’s not just ads on Youtube. It’s also all the sponsor crap and filler content to get to 10 minute videos.

      I use it with an adblocker and sponsorblock but it’s still shit.
