Special thanks to SnivyG. Absol for alerting me to this news. I was aware of the whole 'marking your video as for kids or not' but I had no idea of the consequences that come with it. I don't particularly like talking about real life stuff and politics or whatever, but this is something big that affects me, and every other MLP Channel here on YouTube. Be sure to comment below your thoughts (while you still can), and you can even visit the FTC's site for some more information: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/blogs/business-blog/2019/11/youtube-channel-owners-your-content-directed-children

[More Rambling] Here's how stupid this is. Let's say a parent, with a YouTube account is watching videos on their iPhone. Their kid goes, "Mommy, Daddy, can I watch YouTubes?" They then go, "Why sure, here ya go kiddo!" The kid takes the iPhone, watches videos upon videos, and due to their viewing history, are now being shown personalized ads based upon what they've been watching. How is the FTC or YouTube supposed to know that CHILD just used their site to watch videos?? They wouldn't, no one could possibly know. All this, is pointless. A kid will find a way to watch, do, download whatever they want. This solves: "Nothing" ~The Magic Conch
