MadEngineer: Ask your child, is this content useful or rubbish?

Clearly some adults need to be asking themselves the same question https://i.stuff.co.nz/motoring/132901369/watch-youtuber-drops-whole-lamborghini-into-shredder

Yes, regular media literacy discussions with your children are essential, and it would hopefully make adults think about their own choices as well.

Great idea thanks. I'm interested if there is any resource people here have used for that purpose.

Else, I'll be checking google maybe netsafe when I get time. Guess who's at work this morning 🤦

It wasn't a whole Lambo, it had no engine. Was probably already written off for some reason and superficially tarted up for the stunt.

Inphinity:

We've found YouTube Kids has better (but not infallible) content restrictions than the full Youtube app. But yes, this is far from the first time some unsavoury content has masqueraded as kids content. Unfortunately just seems to be an occasional thing, and the best current option is unfortunately quite a manual supervision step. It would be nice, imo, to be able to have a way to set youtube to only allow playing videos from 'subscribed' creators, and restrict it via pin, so e.g. you can go and subscribe to creators who have a good history of making appropriate content, and then your child can only watch their stuff without needing a pin. If anyone knows if an existing way to do this, I'd love to hear it.

I think this is as close as you can get to it - https://support.google.com/youtubekids/answer/6172308?sjid=7197208080926312322-AP#content_settings&zippy=%2Cchange-your-childs-content-level-settings-for-their-youtube-kids-profile-or-their-supervised-experience-on-youtube%2Capproved-content-only-in-youtube-kids

Yes, I read the article. All the more reason that people shouldn't be watching such junk

Resources: check and use the family options available from google/Microsoft/apple or all the above if in a mixed environment. Doesn’t get simpler than that.

I know you’re asking for advice material but if you can employ the above then you’ll be fine. Else, parenting courses.
