One of the platforms that parents frequently need today is YouTube. The platform, which contains millions of videos that attract the attention of children, is the number one choice of parents for children’s videos. If you’ve ever come across videos for kids, you may have noticed that some situations are frustrating.
YouTube has announced that it will now impose sanctions on children’s videos that it considers to be of low quality. So what does the platform mean by low quality? We announced it in our news.
YouTube won’t promote low quality videos
Kids are a dangerous audience for social media marketing. Unlike adults, they can be fooled very easily and are not aware of some commercial work. You may have noticed how commercial purposes have been in the foreground lately in videos prepared for children. YouTube has sent a notification to its creators to warn them about this.
Although the videos that will be sanctioned are not fully disclosed in the notification sent, they are mentioned as low quality. This definition of YouTube probably includes content quality as well as technical quality. In addition, it is possible to see behaviors that can be negative examples in videos for children. Since children watch these videos, it is not possible for them to see the difference between right and wrong. This may leave a mark on the development of children.
All videos for children are hosted on the YouTube Kids platform. While YouTube is mostly focusing on promoting commercial purposes at the moment, policy changes may be made in the coming weeks. We look forward to the changes in standards.
The monetization system is changing
Videos prepared for children can easily reach millions of views. A different monetization system will be applied to these videos, which can easily reach millions and sometimes even billions of views. Although YouTube does not share much details at the moment, it says that it will be paid according to the quality of the content. This means that content producers have to follow the rules more.
At the moment intimidation warnings will probably take effect gradually. If you’re a creator and you’re creating videos for kids, you may need to pay more attention to YouTube’s community guidelines.
