Elsa gate is why stuff gets restricted so aggressively nowadays.
What is Elsa gate?
You can go too deep on this one and find people who probably think it's a conspiracy or something lol, but the gist is that YouTube used to recommend very very odd videos to kids. People picked up on this and made odd videos. It became like a feedback loop I guess. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elsagate I just found the Wikipedia article and I think it does a good job of giving facts about it.
Edit: What I mean by think it is a conspiracy is that you might find people who think it was some sort of orchestrated act to influence children. This was around the time of the pizza gate stuff for contex. I phrased that poorly. I meant people probably have conspiracy theories about the why part of it happening, but it was actually a thing that happened.
Used to recommend?
They are still super weird recommendations for kods. We had to take tablet away from my daughter because allowed shows like sheriff labradore are about constant kidnappings, other shows like about children dying from hunger in the woods and other ones I've seen about giving birth. All observed just this year.
I also didnt like English language muslim religious show that automatically popped up. Like wth bruh
I meant the Spider-Man and Elsa ones specifically. Do those still get recommended often? I don't have any friends with Children around the age they'd be watching YouTube Kids so I may be out of the loop.
some weird algorithmic videos people posted because kids would lap that shit up, like pregnant spiderman shit.
