@@-Kait-Shocking content and trends get more views. Doesn't matter the effects on the kids, cash is cash and greed is plenty. It's a prevalent issue that spans outside of TH-cam.
@@shahinarabubli8705GOOD. those children are probably talking to grown men online and watching stuff like this (WHICH U ARE WATCHING RN) get off the internet.
@@shahinarabubli8705 Thanks the lord! Your parents seems very good and cabaple to avoid your own doom, and a destiny of failure and purely misery for all life.... Because it is what will happen to your if your parents are not strict.

22:36 "A very popular children's animated series-" The Amazing Digital Circus IS NOT a kids show, or ever was intended to be, it was ALWAYS intended to be 13+
It’s inspired by a game or idk called “I have no mouth and I must scream” it’s about this AI thing killing almost all of human population Exept 5 people trapped in eternal torture for days, hours, months, years, decades and for a long time making them suffer. Seems Fimiliar to TDAC?
It’s almost like TH-cam, wants kids to associate sex with violence like why are they protecting these children? All these hyper sexualized videos have violent content Like tying up a girl in cutting up her clothes, or tying up a girl and burning her or whatever sick things you could do to a human but it’s OK because it’s a Minecraft animation you can make the most torturous contact Ever and it’s OK because it’s Minecraft They’re literally teaching kids to associate torture and sexual stuff with their wants
Letting a kid on the internet unsupervised is like leaving your front door wide open and putting a sign "kid alone inside" in front of the house. You just give all the freaks and worst kinds of people free access to your kid.
Really appreciate you flagging this. Our teams are taking a closer look now & will take it from here. We take reports like this very seriously, so thank you again for taking the time to help keep our community safe
I've been thinking the same thing. I've always wondered what it would've been like to be born at a different time, but I am now satisfied with when I was born. (I honestly would prefer a few years earlier!)
What's even WIERDER is that Hazbin Hotel is NOT a children's show and I STILL don't know why people ever THINK it is, let alone making Minecraft Kids Content about it.
@@sunnydayeverlasting4028you’re very right. Not to mention, TH-camrs who are looking for a coin will ride the latest cartoon trend craze no matter how unsafe the content may be to young viewers.
I saw a clip of Helluva Boss someone posted where Stella was screaming and swearing at Stolace. The disclaimer at the beginning of the video was still there and yet it got marked as for kids
Us early and late gen-z people, were born in which a time we consumed content that actually meant something to us and was genuine, and a time where we would see everything unfold, so we can learn and prevent this from happening to our kids.
According to a quick google search, Gen Z goes all the way up into 2012. I would say this is exclusive to early Gen Z. Not late. Late Gen Z were the first iPad babies.
@@Realienceprobably because TADC has a lot of kids in it’s fandom. Also if you haven’t watched it then it could easily be mistaken as a children’s series because of the way it’s designed.
Summary: If it's animated and has cute characters, kids are gonna watch it and weirdos are gonna make heinous shit out of it, regardless of if the original media is for kids
Even though it’s not for kids, content farms will use them and make disgusting videos that kids will click on because they’re colorful and bright characters
real, I remember all that noob vs pro and whatnots, and when yt shorts didn't exist and yt kids was actually safe, then I got on normal yt, then I found out about shorts a few years after. YT has gone down
when kindergardeners didn't know about that stuff too (met an online friend a few months back who knew about pron in 2nd grade from a friend who had known about it since kindergarden idk how)
As someone who found Minecraft in Noob vs Pro vs Hacker vs God videos before deciding to watch older videos (DanTDM mostly) I would love that stuff over this
This is a really important problem and this content genuinely scares me. I was exposed to this stuff as a young kid and even knew back then how bad this stuff was. I was around six or seven at the time. Nobody should be exposed to this stuff in there young childhood. Ever. (Also your editing is sick man)
Great video, hopefully it doesnt get age restricted lol. The youtube shorts are actually crazy, especially because they get 10s of millions of views and are so blatantly sexualised. I have doubts anything will change unfortunately, especially because willcraft, the creator of monster school which later devolved into what we have now, had his videos also striked/removed (despite them being clearly ok). Makes me really question youtubes manual review system
The youtube's manual review system just shows that this isn't a problem with their algorithm, it's a problem with their ethics. They are directly ordering employees to censor who ever complains about these issues and ignore the original nsfw content farms (most likely these moderators are poor people from india, china, etc so they have no reason to not comply). God knows what goes in the mind of their higher ups. Google's change of slogan from "Don't be evil" to “Do the right thing” is a sign of how things are turning around in there. They are getting increasingly more supportive of insane sociopathic monsters like the guys at the CCP and of course less and less concerned with the damage they cause to their customers, employees and anyone else in their way of profit and control. This website is controlled by EVIL, and this is just the largest and most obvious evidence. I wish more and more creators wake up to this and start using alternative websites that value our freedom, because we will soon need them to be robust enough to withstand the blows from the evils who want to enslave us. Thanks Mr Epic for all your work in shining lights into all this.
Yeah, it's bullshit. Monster School was one of those things that I've looked back at recently and thanked God I got the good ones and wasn't exposed to... uh... *that* content. Makes me really sad.
i wanted to put in a little bit about Aphmau: when i was younger, when youtubers like captain sparkles, skydoesminecraft, dantdm were popular, Aphmau was one of the youtubers I watched. her content was MUCH MUCH different. She used to tell incredibly intricate stories through her role-playing series. They weren't masterpieces but her team was incredibly creative, and they used so many different outlets to tell their stories. Without old Aphmau, minecraft role-playing would not be what it is today. When minecraft started declining, and her views just weren't pulling anymore, I remember she took a very long break and completely abandoned ALL of her role-play series. Then she came out with this new, child content. She did it for money. That's all this is. It was honestly upsetting to see someone who's art i valued and supported completely abandon their years of work to sell out
@@arikins_ hey, i understand needing money to support your family and live. not knocking her for that. Don't Call Me Heated For You To Say " just to get the bag i guess", THAT IS SO RUDE, OF COURSE I AM ALLOWED TO BE HEATED, WHO IN THE RIGHT MIND EVEN SAYS THAT???!! Now i've been very calm and collected, and would like to ask for you to do so as well. I Was Calm And Collected At The Most Part Till I Saw This Ass Response, I'm Muting You. End Of Story. You're Terrible.
@@aokyoutsuki7744 That Is The Equivalent Of "Buddy" Which Is Just Petty. But I Am Chill, I Just Love Aphmau And I'm Finding Here That Some People Are Just Pretty Rude, So I Will Defend What I Think Is Right. You Don't Like It, LOOK AWAY!! My Belief WAS WRONG YA'LL STOP ASKING FOR MY AGE AND INSULTING ME!!!
I watched this and Im going to do a school speech based on some of these affects after watching, I hope I can spread the word as this is something that needs to be addressed amongst the people Sincerely, an 8th grade student
Even being in 8th grade, I remember watching elsagate and some things like that. Honestly, it’s had such an effect on me. Please do, i try to go to sleep everyday and these horrifc p*rn and gore videos pop up in my head
The Amazing Digital Circus is for older audiences. They only became popular with kids because they look like kids cartoons characters. But this overall situation disgusts me, children should never see this shit.
Same as hazbin. Definitely less popular with kids then TADC but I've seen way too many children cosplaying as Angel Dust and active in the fandom, it's really disturbing.
Same with Hasbin Hotel/Hella Boss!That *REALLY* isn't for kids: There's swearing, d*ugs, gore, violence, d*ath, these shows are adults and is admitted at adults and not for kids!Just being something has "bright colors" it doesn't have to be for kids! Not *everything* needs to be for f*cking kids!But someone there are people out there making Hasbin Hotel characters "friendly" or making it into "kids content" I'm shock the creator of Hasbin Hotel haven't reported those channels/videos yet! But I know the creators of The Amazing Digital Circus really dislike a certain a group of people using their characters as "kids content"!
The funny thing with your example with Aphmau, is that she IS one of the OG's, her content just changed for the worse in 2020. Edit: Many people have taken “changed for the worse” the wrong way, i meant that, relative to her RPs, it was for the worse.
Yes I used to watch her a lot when she was still doing My Street and some of the hide and seek vids but stopped when she started doing clickbait'y like videos I might watch her again but only for season 7 of MS
Okay so I’m not going crazy! I remember I was in late middle school in 2020 and because of Covid I watched an Aphmau video like every day. And one day, I noticed her newest video was SO different. So much more babyish. I had been watching her for years and I loved her channel-the drama, the plots, everything was really entertaining and fun but not insulting to watch! But then in 2020, she just… Pivoted. It honestly broke my heart. From time to time, I still go back and rewatch MyCraft or something for the nostalgia and the better times. Aphmau was one of the biggest influences that made me want to do Minecraft role play TH-cam stuff too when I was little. I kind of mourn the fact that I can’t still watch her as I’ve grown up. And don’t get me wrong, there was always some degree of cringe to her content, but I swear 2020 happened and girlie turned up the cringe to 11.
@@sakurasensations4786i don’t know if you know, but she is confirmed working on season 7 of mystreet, so hope is not lost! It’s gonna be the last season I believe, and even if she doesn’t go back to making more teen-adult targeted roleplay series, at least we get a closing season for the show that shaped a lot of our childhoods :)
this reminds me that some of Aph's old VA's work for huge companies now, for example Lucinda's VA voices Lynette in genshin impact and more recently Feixiao in Honkai Star Rail
TH-cam needs to do a better job with monitoring the content on the platform the fact that kids are being exposed to this type of content instead of actually good and trustworthy content creators who care about the wellbeing of there fanbase disgusts me(Great video ,editing is awesome keep up the good work + new sub)
More people need to see this. I'm sure most of us early 2000's kids watched some weird shit on TH-cam once in a while but not at this volume. TH-cam trying to restrict/silence videos criticizing this stuff is quite literally abhorrent and disgusting.
the only violent Minecraft content I watched is animation mini movies with fight scenes and just action as a whole. I miss the days where Minecraft music videos are popular
When I was little and just starting watching youtube. I really liked watching those videos of ghosts caught on camera and conspiracy theories. I remember clearly once i tried searching up videos on sonic the hedgehog and just looking at the gore and stuff i saw on thumbnails made me never open youtube again. Now my little sister pretty much watches worse as much as she can whenever she gets her hands on my dads phone. I can't delete youtube from there and even if I find good videos for her she just needs to scroll a bit on shorts. Really sad what youtube is doing😞
My mom who works at a school has been going on about how bad these kids have been getting, ever since I went to that school it started going down hill. My bff who goes to high school has been saying how the football team can’t even read or write well. Personally I blame the school for the football team because they are prioritizing sports over education.
13:52 I tried reporting this yt channel. BRO TH-cam REMOVED THE NUDITY AND SEXUAL REASON FOR REPORTING THEM ON PEOPLE’s CHANNELS. This is so we click “none of these are my issue” in order to not be able to correctly report them.
If someone put together a contact list of all or many of the current advertisers on YT kids video and masses of people started complaining, then YT would fix this OVERNIGHT. They only care about the MONEY !!!
Thank you so much. I have been banning my children from specifically YTKids for years and I caution all parents I know to do the same. Most parents have no idea and are surprised. Their go to defense is "But it's made for kids so how could it be bad." Then I take out my phone and show them one of the Elsagate vids in YTkids and they immediately delete the app. Keep up the fantastic work and keep spreading awareness!!! My kids are only allowed to watch YT if I'm present. I veto most of the young-child clickbait thumbnails they fall for. I refuse to let my children to be abused and exploited by content like this.
It's kinda weird to me how adults can be just as naive or even more so than children at times. Perhaps most parents forget (or don't even realise) that youtube is a social media platform anyone can upload to.
@@peace1290 Scary isn't it? I tell my kid all the time "TH-cam is not like TV. There are no ratings on videos you watch. Anyone can make and upload anything."
23:37 something that surprises me is how the content farms exploit content that ISNT family friendly but has a child audience. both the creator of hazbin hotel and of tadc have stated that their shows are for an mature adult audience
Yeah it seems unclear that its meant for the more mature people but it still is regardless of that so the fact that people would make content farms out of this is just absurd and anyone who decides to work with these people are screwed in the head
I have a little brother, he’s nine and consumes an insane amount of this content my parents won’t take it seriously because they aren’t very familiar with the internet. He displays weird behaviour. For example he will moan and think it’s funny. His friends are the exact same and i think it’s really disturbing to see a group of nine year olds making such sexually explicit jokes. I can’t even delete TH-cam because he accesses it through Safari and not the actual TH-cam app and even when i recommend him child friendly content he’ll say it’s ‘boring’.
My younger cousins watch TH-cam a lot, they aren't at iPad kid level or anything and they usually watch it on their TV so their parents or any other adult should be able to hear/see if they're watching something they shouldn't, but I'm still terrified that this is going to happen to them. Especially the youngest since she's still at kindergarten age and she tends to watch videos on her tablet instead of TV. (Mostly because her siblings are old enough that they don't want to watch the same things she does.)
i remember seeing a creepy twisted video like this in around 2009, after watching a normal one i probably saw more that weren't as bad. In 2009 I would've been 4. I believe it scarred me, the fact that I even remember it tells something. It was a creepy twisted Dora video, it started off normal but than there was blood, angry curse words that were loud, My dad ran in and shut it off. It's not new by any means but theres a lot more of it than ever.
Yeah, I was gonna say, the concept of being eternally trapped in a virtual reality simulator until you go insane is not exactly the kind of thing I’d call “kids content”.
I’m thirteen now, and when I was around 5-9, I was exposed to things like elsagate. I was interested in it because I loved Frozen things, and I loved watching Frozen related stuff. Due to this and the fact that people create nasty things with my favorite characters, I was exposed to sexual and graphic things, too. I’m glad I’m not the only one, but also extremely sad that I’m not the only one at the same time. It’s really ruined my mental state to a worrying extent. I’m still little, but not I’m aware enough to know what to avoid. It’s really upsetting to know TH-cam wouldn’t do anything against any of this for probably a long while.
I have a little sister that loved this content. Luckily, I did hear about all the NSFW and bad things these youtubers do and told her to stop watching them. I used to monitor her search history (like what my older siblings did to me). I never knew I saved her from trauma or possibly problems with her growth. I'm proud of myself :)
If she likes minecraft content I hope you’ll still let her watch the old stuff. Like Stampy and DanTDM :,). They built a lot of my personality and were kind people. Still appear to be kind people today!
As a victim of being exposed to random sexual content on TH-cam it leads to you having either hyper sexuality or you becoming an addict.. yikes. Protect your kids and siblings guys 🤙
i kinda toned down when I turned 16 after accessing a lot of corn site 😶(mainly on twitter) Afterwards i just realised corn wants me to think a lot of stuff that is unimaginable kin you can think of. It is really not healthy. You can’t really expect TH-cam that much to just delete all the bad stuff to go away especially 1 million people uploading everyday. Because eventually they’ll just comeback which is frustrating I would say. The only we can do is to just spread awareness and avoid our children and ourselves interecting in this kind of videos
This is 1000% true. I saw a shit ton, I couldn't have been older than like five. It led to me having permanent trust issues and the aforementioned hyper-ihatetypingthatword.
I appreciate your recognition about how Aphmaus content now is done right, Jess is a Mom of four, she knows what she’s doing and always has, her content now is definitely different but at least it’s safe.
To me it's always been mostly safe, and in my opinion her content isn't cringe but more so just entertaining to watch than most youtubers that do similar contne like hers
I don’t know. I still enjoy the newer content, albeit not to the extent I enjoyed her content during 2018-2019. But I understand she has 4 kids to take care of, so she’s doing what’s least stressful for her, while still allowing her and Jason time to spend with their kids. The way I see it, and this goes for Jess and most content creators, not the rip offs, but as long they’re enjoying what they do and aren’t hurting anyone, who cares?
The FTC needs to take another look back into this, I mean I'm glad I got lucky and grew up on Popularmmos and stuff, but, Shit man my life, I'm scared just thinking about how fucked up I would be now if that crap had made it's way into my feed.
Because they want to get money if they take down the big channels they will earn less money see TH-cam gets 45% of the money you earned. they have the power to delete the channels but they don't to just get money
SAME!! THIS BUTT CLICKBAITED US!! She Only Changed To "Children Content" Because Of Covid (VA Issues, Y'Know??) AND Her Viewers Started To Become Children, MORE THAN TEENS So She Had To Switch Up .n.
personally, as someone who has worked in child care for 8 years, i think the youtube kids app should only allow approved channels to show up on a child's recommended videos. rather than an opt out service that rarely even works, allowing a parent to do their own research on channels and approving some of them is way safer and keeps kids from mindlessly scrolling through brain rot for hours.
I have a 7 year old brother who says absolutely disgusting things,once he called me a b*tch and I got so confused how he knows that is a word,I think saw him once watching sexual content not for his AGE, I recommended child friendly content,but the next day I see he's watching not Appropriate content.
@@ButterfacedBri There was plenty of such stuff back in the day. What changed was that stuff was not targeted at children and made to leave an impression on them. It was made for older people and kids just happened to see it.
I am currently 16 years old, ever since I was 7 I have been exposed to sexual content on this platform, bc I was so young at that time I kept watching, I was curious on what was happening in that particular video. That kept going on for years, and my life has gotten so much weirder bc of those videos. I keep getting these weird needs and had a lot of memory losses due to this content, I am ashamed to say that I’ve developed an addiction to sexual themes, for example pornos. I’m still working on getting better and am currently taking therapy bc of it. If you’re a parent watching this or reading these comments please be careful on what your child is watching, as it’s said in the video, just because it’s in the „TH-cam Kids” app it still could be smth horrifying that changes your child’s life. Btw I love the video
I'm currently in the same boat, I hope others who have been effected and you will get better mentally 🫶 im on my own journey and I'm lucky to be so, giving you all my positive energy
At this point, I’m not even surprised, Minecraft corn is too popular, and TH-cam cares for a quick buck, and doesn’t care. If I’m being honest, devices SHOULD NOT be given to children. Children with ADHD would struggle even more, I have ADHD, and I was exposed to this disgusting type of “Content.” It made me have a corn addiction for multiple months. I am disgusted by the blind eyes of TH-cam. The actions of TH-cam, and the creators of the content, should go directly to the darkest pits of hell.
no fr. something NEEDS to be done about this, younger children shouldn't be this addicted, for example my 5 year old brother. He's had a tablet since he was 2 and he can't do anything without it beside him, especially since he's not even on youtube kids, he's on REGULAR youtube. I can't even speak up about this to my parents because my dad doesn't care.
youtube absolutely needs to do something about it (which they're already doing right now), and as another person with ADHD, i can say that i have my own share, because these types of content ruined my life back then, and now that i actually have changed, i am extremely aware of what's going on, and to say the least, i don't like it. well, my ADHD is basically something that can easily distract me such as watching birds fly, watching the sky clouds, but about these types of videos, i've learnt to not even click on the video itself, and i don't know what happened to this generation. let's just hope the same doesn't happen to the next generation. Gen Z yapping here, you shouldn't have read that
i agree with you, this stuff is genuinely disgusting. a person who is responsible for these video's are showing up on yt to kids? this truly is vile. and the people that make this content should be in jail for showing this stuff to such a young audience. and to top it all off, stealing thumbnails and just straight up copying charectors but in a more sexual manner. i am the oldest brother in my family, and knowing this is the stuff that shows up on my brothers front page and shorts makes me seeth with rage. truly, truly vile, and disgusting humans.
They must have hopped on this once they saw the vid because I checked my nieces yt kids app and it all look super family friendly. The only MC stuff on her watch history was build tutorials, and when I searched some of the content listed in the video, none of it appears. Good job with this video man.
I’m 14 and I was exposed to these types of videos when I was smaller. I remember having hypersexual thoughts every single day. Although now I look back and see how wrong it was, I still can’t stop these thoughts from randomly appearing and it always makes me so uncomfortable when it does. Thank you for covering this issue on TH-cam.
It gets better with time, it's sickening how these leeches profit off your corruption. Meditation, just sitting and not doing anything can give your mind a rest, from that it can strengthen it's resolve and start cleaning up your mind
As a shorts youtuber I'm not shocked that hyper sexualized stuff is pushed on shorts (0F girls, ect) but doing it in a niche like minecraft should lead to jail time
aphmau was a good youtuber 8 or so years ago. i loved her my streets series and, from what i remember, it has surprisingly good writing for a minecraft roleplay series. makes me a bit sad to see the content she makes now but i understand… she has a family to feed and kids content makes the big bucks
The best thing to do would be to signal to the brands putting ads on said videos and making them turn against youtube, youtube losing money would make them act
7:38 My jaw dropped. I knew it would be bad. But this is so traumatizing and is just making me remember things I've been trying to forget for so long. How could TH-cam allow this? This is just setting kids up to be misogynists and/or objectifying themselves
im 10 ad kew everythig metioed i this video[except rp ad suicide] sice i was 7 this ever traumatized me but made me a little emotially mature for some reaso
When i was young I was suggested nsfw vidoes from youtube. Things like "Bad M": a video where Mario r3pes his own brother. And really weird minecraft nsfw thumbnails/clickbait. From the age of 6, I slowly got obsessed with nsfw content. I was only a CHILD. That messed me up mentally. I became addicted to the internet from such a young age. I cannot believe that with an app labled as "youtube kids" theres NSFW content being shoved to kids. Thats vile. And for a quick buck too. I do not want kids to have the same addictions I had. They deserve so much better. We need more StampyCats, PopularMmos, and DANTDMs. I feel terrible for the children today.
@quinix_queen3173 oh honey, there's a multitude of us. It is sad, but it's nothing to be ashamed about! This age of modern technology has affected tons of us. I hope you continue life to it's fullest 🖤 don't let this negative atmosphere effect you. More people are speaking up about it. There's hope for change for our future generations! :>
ts happened to me with the mlp gore and fetish videos on youtube. traumatized me so bad. im only now regaining a love for that show because i lost it due to the content i saw back then
I knew content like this was around in 2014 but i never knew it was this bad now. It is absolutely disgusting to see people like this posting inappropriate content aimed specifically at children, and have no consequences. I hope this video blows up so TH-cam finally takes some action. Not to mention this video is edited very well.
When I grow up, I’m probably homeschooling my kids, not buying them phones till eighth grade, and setting as many screen time regulations as physically fricking possible. I’m sorry if that seems too restrictive, but think of it this way: I consider it a novelty to walk to the park. It’s something I do maybe twice a week. That’s fricking depressing. And being completely honest, I’ve been on my ipad for nearly four hours. I’m gonna go get excersize for once. And I think I might have nightmares tonight.
What makes it worse is that these kids are still young, so they're taking in all this information while their parents are convinced they're watching 'safe, family friendly videos', meaning that they may actually 'try it' at school or when they're older ;--;
NO- BC ITS TRUE- MY AUNT AND HER DAUGHTER BEEN SAYING SHI LIKE 'oH THEy aREnT wATChINg anYThiNG Bad' *insert girl moaning and squishy noise in background*
this issue is genuinely disgusting. when I was younger, my parents banned me from watching youtube kids video's due to them hearing about this issue. and I am so thankful they did. Who knows what I could have seen, and at such a young age. The fact that youtube hasn't done anything about this, makes me so mad.
@@halluinbernard5583 damn thats seven replies in one comment please, consider shortening your posts to only One message (also i am more unhinged than you]
Bro, my parents banned TH-cam and made me use TH-cam Kids for a month one time. I had to literally convince my mom to let me use TH-cam for the whole month. That was years ago though.
I've seen sexual content on TH-cam. I got blamed for "purposefully looking at it" though and it took a toll on my real health.. now I'm stuck with hypersexuality :(
I have a 5 year old sister that watches yt kids, she was always angry but i dint know why., but after my brother showed me this video i knew why. We convinced our parent to take away her ipad, now shes much more calm, thank you for making this video
It isn’t children, your right but they’ve said themself they wanna fill the gap of animation/cartoons that isn’t baby toddler stuff but also isn’t fully adult
THE AMAZING CIRCUS IS NOT A KIDS SHOW! It's a really dark and existential horror show! It's a good one, with a shitton of unsettle and dark comedy moments, but hell I would be wary of recommending it to teenagers or some adults even.
I had to ban my sibling from watching multiple youtubers on TH-cam kids so they don't see stuff their not supposed to. What's worse is that they don't handle content like that as easily as others might. (Thank you for coming to my TedTalk)
as a highschooler i am so glad i grew up in the golden age of YT. this content is scarly profitable and clonable. and the fact that youtube just sits here and does nothing is terrible. and ofc great freaking editing as always.
yeah, used to watch dantdm a lot when i was younger. He's a good person and made sure his content was fit for his audience, even today. It makes me sad and disgusted to see the TH-cam scene as it is now.
@@dorkish Same. Being a DanTDM fan was probably the best thing that ever happened to me as a kid lol. His content was great and honestly I haven’t heard a bad word spoken about him.
even in the "golden age of youtube" there was content like this, just in a different form. If I recall, violent My Little Pony animations were part of a common rabbit hole for younger girls on the internet to fall into a bit over 10 or so years ago.
It's simple, TH-cam allows it because it's one of their key moneymakers, or maybe the YT team has PDFs in it that want to show children this disgusting content
@@Justamanrandomlybrowsin. Nope. Its because youtube doesn't have the staff to go through all of this. Remember that TH-cam is a world wide platform and minecraft is just a small part of youtube in the grand scheme of things. these sorts of videos actually don't even count as key moneymakers. Its not really youtube's fault since they rely pretty heavily on the report channel and that is really inconsistent since there are so many reports every day, too many for their staff to handle(sometimes it can be the dumb hater reports) since the staff has to individually check each channel and video and such.
My oldest sister has banned her 8 year old son (my nephew) from watching TH-cam after we’ve observing how disturbing TH-cam Kids ACTUALLY was. If anything these videos could’ve legitimately hindered his development because none of anything on there is even educational, entertaining, or beneficial for him. Literal brain rot.
Instead of letting kids watch stuff on the internet, y'all should always monitor what they're viewing. I also think y'all should replace the videos that come from TH-cam, with actual classic cartoons that are not only kid-friendly, but are also educational and teach them good morals. Examples of shows are Max and Ruby, Dora The Explorer, and the Mid 2010's 3D animated Mickey Mouse show. I know these are really outdated cartoons, but if I were a parent, I'd rather show my kids these, than whatever the hell people are conjuring up on TH-cam.
I had no idea about this!! This is awful. I babysit some kids who have tablets and I'm wondering if I need to tell their parents about this crap. Another big thing I see is explicit ads with s3xual content on kid friendly apps. It's a normal app I'd let a 6 yr old play, but then these atrocious ads pop up. Most of the time I can't even flag the ad. Thanks so much for raising awareness. It's great to know that there's still some fighters out there. Edit: okay yall I'm gonna tell the parents I'm just about to write an email rq
You should definitely tell the parents when you babysit, or at least make them aware. These parents might never find out either way, especially if you don't tell them.
When I was around 4-6 years old, I used to watch TH-cam on a big screen in the living room. The content I was watching included things like nudity, violence, mutilation etc. yet I was drawn to it - I was a child drawn to the shock value, the unknown and ''forbidden''. At one point my parents caught me watching this content and eventually manually checked in on what I was consuming but the damage had already been done. I was desensitized to violence and eventually developed a porn addiction (actively seeking out even more explicit content, luckily I have long overcome it) due to the prolonged exposure to soft pornography on these ''kids channels''. Heck, the videos weren't even in english, it was the russian side of youtube , this is an issue that can be found in content of ALL LANGUAGES. And it has been an issue for years, many, many years yet it's being ignored.

As someone who has babysat a kid who watches this type of content before: THANK YOU for shedding more light on the topic and bringing awareness to it. There was this 6 year old girl I babysat for very briefly, and all she did was watch these type of youtube kids slop content with VERY inappropriate themes. The absolute horror on my face when this little 6 YEAR OLD was talking to me about how "Bluey from Garten of Banban murder Pomni to sleep with Red!!! He tied up Pomni!!" (or whatever random characters it was I genuinely don't remember) I asked her to show me what video she was talking about and yeah, it was like softcore p*rn and torture being done to Garten of Banban and Amazing Digital Circus characters. I tried telling her to not watch those videos anymore but this kid would freak out, like genuine full on panic attack, if you took her phone away. I eventually moved away so I no longer babysit for her, but I genuinely feel so bad for that poor kid. I know she is going to grow up with all sorts of issues because of the disgusting and disturbing ai slop she consumes 24/7. TH-cam NEEDS to do something about this, because the next generation of kids growing up on this content are all going to be actually brain broken and need serious help.
@@Sly-Moose Yes I did - her mother said she'd start to monitor what her kid watches online more and also said she'd tell future babysitters to do the same (she works a lot so unfortunately she can't be there to monitor it 24/7). So hopefully the poor kid has been watching less of this horrid stuff now!
As a babysittier, I have literally had to stop the kids I'm babysitting from watching such trash, but they probably just watch it when I'm not around TTmTT It's just so sad...these parents don't listen to my concerns because "it's youtube kids, it has to be safe"... and usually it's another family member (like a grandma) that will actually pay attention to my concerns....
16:30 as a third grader I was exposed to this content. For 7 years I’ve struggled with addictions and stuff that I shouldn’t, but so far I’ve been trying to stop and have made progress. What concerns me is my brothers watch this content. Daily. They’re 9,5, and 3. I don’t want them to end up like me
As a person who experienced this, I want it to stop. My little sister has been glued to her phone 24/7 and she's 1 step ahead of experiencing these type of content. TH-cam, do something
Same, My niece and nephew are both glued to their tablets and youtube/youtube kids. I'm scared for how they're going to grow up, I'm trying to warn my sister about it but she doesn't understand how severe it is. I pray youtube does something about this soon.
@@Rokume same to my little sis dose not watch TH-cam but plays roblox while talking to her friend and plays dress to impress and she has voice chat and i wanted to protect her from grommers or predators but she will say 'stop' to me like I'm an asshole
I've had this conversation with friends about the gateways into p*rn addiction and how engrained into society it is. It's crazy seeing that this content is creating a gateway and literally making people's early to late teenage years miserable. I'm so glad you made a video about this and the long-lasting effects they have on people. Addiction is no joke.
@@theTETROmusic FR! there needs to be some kind of laws in place or something to help these kids who get addicted to these videos. its literally gateways into worse things.
Fun fact the digital circus wasn’t intentionally made for kids, it’s technically a dark comedy more towards teens like murder drones, just the bright colors and no swearing rule made it easy for content farms and parents to think it’s fine.
@@poatatoooo yes I know I was talking more about the digital circus because there is a no swearing rule, the characters still “swear” it is bleeped out but you can still understand what they are trying to say.
As someone (me) who has grown up through abuse. My family being s*xually abused and physically, not to mention being dr*gged, this is absolutely disgusting. From the amount of trauma I've grown up with and knowing that this is now being spread is just terrible. Minecraft was the first game I've ever grown up playing and still play to this day. Just from watching this video, I've had to look away from the screen for more than 60% of this video because even the censored pictures make me highly uncomfortable. I've grown up thinking that s*x is a very bad thing and now I'm 18 years old and STILL have that feeling even though I've learned about it properly. TH-cam won't do horse sh*t about this because they make money. It would have to be governments to constantly sue TH-cam into forcing them to take action.
I feel so bad for you and your family, they should reopen alcatraz for people who do such actions, but yeah TH-cam doesn't take down certain videos because TH-cam makes money of ads and kids who watch these things.
I felt guilty just seeing censored versions of all these thumbnails in a documentary about why they are bad. I genuinely cannot imagine the lack of self respect and guilt the people who like them have.
I used to be a huge fan of Aphmau, over time, her content started getting very questionable to a point that in my perpective, it sucked and was WAY too repetitive.
Great journalism. Savii reacted to this in a video she uploaded on 24th October 2024, so I just wanted to pop over and thank you, the original creator. It's shocking how channels trying to discuss inflammatory issues have to censor themselves to the point where it's harder to understand the topic being discussed while the channels they're trying to expose are left alone to enable an even greater profit. It's like news channels having to skirt around the word "murder" when reporting on a murder case. Commentary and discussions on such topics do not proliferate the issues covered, but rather inform people that there is an issue and aim to approach a resolution.
This video literally gave me goosebumps. As someone who got caught up in Elsagate as a kid and whose parents banned me from unrestricted internet use until I was 16, it's disgusting how much TH-cam is still getting away with. Let me just tell you, this shit messes with your brain and ruins your childhood.
I'm 10,[my maturity[not emotional or physical] is abt a 12-14 yo] and the only thing on the internet that truly traumatized me was bloody mary vids and online bullying LOL
22:24 the fact that some of these creators have a verification mark doesn’t surprise me anymore, especially that you have to get reviewed before getting a verification mark and TH-cam just lets them go under the radar 😔
i was one of these kids that were exposed to the elsagate stuff since i was 4/5-9, i had a intrest in MLP & the time so u can imagine how bad the content was, i ended up with many inscuretites from as young as 5. i ended up being hypersexual and getting into a whole bunch of other nasty stuff due to the lack of proper moderation on the sites i used growing up, i'm almost 13 now and i still have episodes from time to time, the interenet truely whrecked my wellbeing so im trying to montier my little brother's interent history and everything. the last thing i want is for him to end up like this, it makes me feel so upset for gen alpha, nobody is really caring about them and its heartbreaking.
As a child who was a victim of CoCSA, I saw a video of a Minecraft creeper and terrible things that happened to it and I still remember watching that and how awful it was. As a child I wondered how this was allowed on TH-cam and why I wasn't being monitored on my screen time.
I was also a victim of that type of content(I don't want to be specific) and it had me hooked for months. I tried clicking off but it was stuck on my for you page. It taken me weeks to get off it. (It was content not related to the video)
Now I understand why my parents didn't want me on certain child-friendly websites until I was older as a kid. You can't trust that everything is truly child friendly there.
This is the FIRST FUCKING COMMENT I see after scrolling down forever where someone says their parents actually cared for what their kid consumed. The amount of people in here who say they watched this shit at 4-6 years old with no parents regulating it is unfathomable.
Yeah, my parents didn’t let me have access to the internet on my own until I got access to it through school computers in middle school, and I’m honestly really glad they did that. So much horrible stuff online as well as on “child-friendly” websites
Honestly, I really do agree. My younger sister loves to watch Aphmau, but sometimes while looking through the page on which the search bar has brought her to, I see inappropriate thumbnails and videos which really annoys me. I really want to protect my sister as much as I can, but also want her to watch what she wants.
She's a kid she doesn't know better even if she likes her that will still affect her mentally in the future it's okay if she stops watching something that'll affect her future self there are much more kids friendly shows that she might like
@@minecraftminifiguresadvent3170 I don't have a child I'm fucking 15? I take care of my little brother who's obsessed with this type of shit and I stopped him from watching it so he doesn't become a p*rn addict when he grows up instead I make him watch children's shows. And lastly who are you to tell me I don't take care of my own sibling? I bet you even have one so shut up and mind your own business and stop acting dominant
What the fuck is wrong with these people? To be honest, I hope they all get reported, arrested, and sent to jail/prison, where they'll learn how those kind of people treat creeps like them. The people who make the original content, and the kids who watch these videos wanting to see their favorite characters, shouldn't be exposed to this... filth. I'm glad to have found the previous part, and this vid. Because now, I need to make sure my child nieces and nephews aren't being exposed to it.
It's sad that TH-cam basically protects criminals, creeps, and weird content and would even market stuff to minors when that content is the furthest thing from ever being made for minors just from the thumbnails alone
I'm so glad I grew up mainly watching Netflix Kids, PBS Kids, and Nickelodean TV shows like Wild Krats, My Little Pony, and other stuff. Besides the fact that I watched the Simpsons because of my brother, I grew up with a really safe way to consume content. Only when the pandemic happened did I actually start watching TH-cam and I just watched more Minecraft stuff. Seeing this is absolutely disgusting. TH-cam should be held accountable for not doing anything. Thank you for spreading the message because even if TH-cam isn't going to do anything about it, current and future parents will do.
my cousins watch youtube minecraft kids videos and have already had a rough start.. i wasnt really aware of this till i seen the video but i always knew something was up.. especially when i caught my cousins watching something.. from the fake channels and told them to switch the video. i hope this gets the attention of news channels. this sucks.
TADC, Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss are NOT made for children. The authors themselves even said it. They're shows for adults. I'm an adult, I watch adult videos, so WHY on EARTH is MY KID getting recommended such content with Minecraft at heart? I know that Minecraft is a game for everyone to enjoy, and that means children too, but cmon, the problem is so obvious that YT won't do anything about it. At this point another gov intervention might be needed, and a global reaction at that. Also, I don't have a kid, I find myself to be too young (early 20s) and irresponsible to even take care of a kid, let alone if the kid would be mine. I just made a hypothetical scenario.
as somone whos had aphmau's storyline content as a special interest since i was a little kid, that thumbnail scared the absolute piss outta me 😭 i dont watch her newer content just the stuff from when i was a kid, (and mystreet season 7 when it comes out lmao) so i had no clue if she started making inappropriate content. but lord. im actually so over these accounts that just take popular characters (esp characters popular in a younger audience) and pump out inappropriate garbage with them.
ive got a younger sibling, and despite everything i say about how harmful youtube and even youtube kids can be nothing i say gets anyone to help prevent her from seeing these things. ive had family members sit in the same room watching not as bad- but still not kid friendly content with her and saying NOTHING until ive come around to right it. even allowing her to listen to things like music with nsfw lyrics without batting an eye. im so sick of nothing happening about this. im so sick of being powerless because nobody i know seems to care or listen. i myself was exposed to such content (while not minecraft related and not as severe) at a young age.. luckily i caught myself and figured myself out from there- but this kind of shit, like you said, really messes people up. for my sister, i beg for this video to get traction and not be silenced. people need to know and there needs to be a serious wake-up call about this kind of content being so easily accessible.
Try talking to other parents and adults. Adults outside the family and or teachers who you trust, they’ll probably do something about it if you give them proof and show them comments from people who watched the content at her age. Don’t give up, you can still stop this ❤
@@Little_snow_tiger ill give it a shot when possible. we dont get out much, so i dont have a reliable way to contact others outside my family. ill attempt yet again talking to my parents as well- usually they just brush me off and tell me to stop parenting though. just hoping this doesnt worsen by the time im going to move out in a few years or so.

I think even worse is that if a parent tries to press "Do not recommend" on some content, there's a high chance it won't even work
then we file a lawsuit, or maybe outright ban viewing of it in our own way in general. mass warfare and reporting, maybe we will need malware, but some of us are willing to pull it off just to save kids.

TH-cam kids: “this is fine”
Sad but true

LOL
It’s almost like TH-cam, wants kids to associate sex with violence like why are they protecting these children?
All these hyper sexualized videos have violent content
Like tying up a girl in cutting up her clothes, or tying up a girl and burning her or whatever sick things you could do to a human but it’s OK because it’s a Minecraft animation you can make the most torturous contact Ever and it’s OK because it’s Minecraft
They’re literally teaching kids to associate torture and sexual stuff with their wants
Letting a kid on the internet unsupervised is like leaving your front door wide open and putting a sign "kid alone inside" in front of the house. You just give all the freaks and worst kinds of people free access to your kid.

@@sunnydayeverlasting4028you’re very right. Not to mention, TH-camrs who are looking for a coin will ride the latest cartoon trend craze no matter how unsafe the content may be to young viewers.

Summary: If it's animated and has cute characters, kids are gonna watch it and weirdos are gonna make heinous shit out of it, regardless of if the original media is for kids
Even though it’s not for kids, content farms will use them and make disgusting videos that kids will click on because they’re colorful and bright characters

When TH-cam kids was actually cringe and not about sex.
when kindergardeners didn't know about that stuff too (met an online friend a few months back who knew about pron in 2nd grade from a friend who had known about it since kindergarden idk how)
As someone who found Minecraft in Noob vs Pro vs Hacker vs God videos before deciding to watch older videos (DanTDM mostly) I would love that stuff over this
This might as well be a crime. Showing these kids this stuff is like advertising p*rn
in some countries it is.
Pretty much. There's a few TH-camrs that make content just so their family members have something else to watch other than..... these gross things.
I never saw that
This is a really important problem and this content genuinely scares me. I was exposed to this stuff as a young kid and even knew back then how bad this stuff was. I was around six or seven at the time. Nobody should be exposed to this stuff in there young childhood. Ever. (Also your editing is sick man)

Great video, hopefully it doesnt get age restricted lol. The youtube shorts are actually crazy, especially because they get 10s of millions of views and are so blatantly sexualised. I have doubts anything will change unfortunately, especially because willcraft, the creator of monster school which later devolved into what we have now, had his videos also striked/removed (despite them being clearly ok). Makes me really question youtubes manual review system
Age restriction on CorpoTube became a tool of controlling what the population watches and what it doesn't.
The youtube's manual review system just shows that this isn't a problem with their algorithm, it's a problem with their ethics. They are directly ordering employees to censor who ever complains about these issues and ignore the original nsfw content farms (most likely these moderators are poor people from india, china, etc so they have no reason to not comply). God knows what goes in the mind of their higher ups.
Google's change of slogan from "Don't be evil" to “Do the right thing” is a sign of how things are turning around in there. They are getting increasingly more supportive of insane sociopathic monsters like the guys at the CCP and of course less and less concerned with the damage they cause to their customers, employees and anyone else in their way of profit and control.
This website is controlled by EVIL, and this is just the largest and most obvious evidence. I wish more and more creators wake up to this and start using alternative websites that value our freedom, because we will soon need them to be robust enough to withstand the blows from the evils who want to enslave us.
Thanks Mr Epic for all your work in shining lights into all this.
Can't agree more
Yeah, it's bullshit. Monster School was one of those things that I've looked back at recently and thanked God I got the good ones and wasn't exposed to... uh... *that* content. Makes me really sad.
wsp epic!
i wanted to put in a little bit about Aphmau: when i was younger, when youtubers like captain sparkles, skydoesminecraft, dantdm were popular, Aphmau was one of the youtubers I watched. her content was MUCH MUCH different. She used to tell incredibly intricate stories through her role-playing series. They weren't masterpieces but her team was incredibly creative, and they used so many different outlets to tell their stories. Without old Aphmau, minecraft role-playing would not be what it is today. When minecraft started declining, and her views just weren't pulling anymore, I remember she took a very long break and completely abandoned ALL of her role-play series. Then she came out with this new, child content. She did it for money. That's all this is. It was honestly upsetting to see someone who's art i valued and supported completely abandon their years of work to sell out
she lost all of her loyal fans to i assume replace them with children ... get that bag i guess ?
@@arikins_ hey, i understand needing money to support your family and live. not knocking her for that.

The Amazing Digital Circus is for older audiences. They only became popular with kids because they look like kids cartoons characters. But this overall situation disgusts me, children should never see this shit.
You’re right. The character designs look appropriate enough for kids to watch, but the content inside isn’t.
Can't even look at the characters in the same way without cringing
Same as hazbin. Definitely less popular with kids then TADC but I've seen way too many children cosplaying as Angel Dust and active in the fandom, it's really disturbing.
Same with Hasbin Hotel/Hella Boss!That *REALLY* isn't for kids: There's swearing, d*ugs, gore, violence, d*ath, these shows are adults and is admitted at adults and not for kids!Just being something has "bright colors" it doesn't have to be for kids!
Not *everything* needs to be for f*cking kids!But someone there are people out there making Hasbin Hotel characters "friendly" or making it into "kids content" I'm shock the creator of Hasbin Hotel haven't reported those channels/videos yet!
But I know the creators of The Amazing Digital Circus really dislike a certain a group of people using their characters as "kids content"!
@@wolv1x482 real, but yeah why is there full on corn on yt kids
The funny thing with your example with Aphmau, is that she IS one of the OG's, her content just changed for the worse in 2020.
Edit: Many people have taken “changed for the worse” the wrong way, i meant that, relative to her RPs, it was for the worse.
Yes I used to watch her a lot when she was still doing My Street and some of the hide and seek vids but stopped when she started doing clickbait'y like videos I might watch her again but only for season 7 of MS
Okay so I’m not going crazy! I remember I was in late middle school in 2020 and because of Covid I watched an Aphmau video like every day. And one day, I noticed her newest video was SO different. So much more babyish. I had been watching her for years and I loved her channel-the drama, the plots, everything was really entertaining and fun but not insulting to watch! But then in 2020, she just… Pivoted. It honestly broke my heart. From time to time, I still go back and rewatch MyCraft or something for the nostalgia and the better times. Aphmau was one of the biggest influences that made me want to do Minecraft role play TH-cam stuff too when I was little. I kind of mourn the fact that I can’t still watch her as I’ve grown up. And don’t get me wrong, there was always some degree of cringe to her content, but I swear 2020 happened and girlie turned up the cringe to 11.

TH-cam needs to do a better job with monitoring the content on the platform the fact that kids are being exposed to this type of content instead of actually good and trustworthy content creators who care about the wellbeing of there fanbase disgusts me(Great video ,editing is awesome keep up the good work + new sub)
More people need to see this. I'm sure most of us early 2000's kids watched some weird shit on TH-cam once in a while but not at this volume. TH-cam trying to restrict/silence videos criticizing this stuff is quite literally abhorrent and disgusting.
I wonder why...(def not because it makes them huge amounts of money)
the only violent Minecraft content I watched is animation mini movies with fight scenes and just action as a whole. I miss the days where Minecraft music videos are popular
We had madness combat, they have torture videos of their favorite videos.
i vividly remember watching a fan animation about pat and jen and there were…. questionable modifications to jen’s avatar
When I was little and just starting watching youtube. I really liked watching those videos of ghosts caught on camera and conspiracy theories. I remember clearly once i tried searching up videos on sonic the hedgehog and just looking at the gore and stuff i saw on thumbnails made me never open youtube again. Now my little sister pretty much watches worse as much as she can whenever she gets her hands on my dads phone. I can't delete youtube from there and even if I find good videos for her she just needs to scroll a bit on shorts. Really sad what youtube is doing😞
that is probably one of the reasons why the kids in the lower grades are so messed up right now, vaping, being aggressive towards teachers etc.
Yeah... it's bad.
My mom who works at a school has been going on about how bad these kids have been getting, ever since I went to that school it started going down hill. My bff who goes to high school has been saying how the football team can’t even read or write well. Personally I blame the school for the football team because they are prioritizing sports over education.

Thank you so much. I have been banning my children from specifically YTKids for years and I caution all parents I know to do the same. Most parents have no idea and are surprised. Their go to defense is "But it's made for kids so how could it be bad." Then I take out my phone and show them one of the Elsagate vids in YTkids and they immediately delete the app. Keep up the fantastic work and keep spreading awareness!!!
My kids are only allowed to watch YT if I'm present. I veto most of the young-child clickbait thumbnails they fall for. I refuse to let my children to be abused and exploited by content like this.
Good job! 👍🏻
THIS is good parenting!
It's kinda weird to me how adults can be just as naive or even more so than children at times. Perhaps most parents forget (or don't even realise) that youtube is a social media platform anyone can upload to.

I tell my kid all the time "TH-cam is not like TV. There are no ratings on videos you watch. Anyone can make and upload anything."

23:37 something that surprises me is how the content farms exploit content that ISNT family friendly but has a child audience. both the creator of hazbin hotel and of tadc have stated that their shows are for an mature adult audience
with hazbin hotel it's extremely obvious, digital circus on the other hand has yet to prove that it's meant for older audiences
@@connorcook2089 it is a (albeit rather mild) psychological horror
Yeah it seems unclear that its meant for the more mature people but it still is regardless of that so the fact that people would make content farms out of this is just absurd and anyone who decides to work with these people are screwed in the head
Small children enjoy getting into things they are not supposed to.
Hazbin and circus say they are for mature audiences but only children enjoy them its like kids trying to be cool by swearing
I have a little brother, he’s nine and consumes an insane amount of this content my parents won’t take it seriously because they aren’t very familiar with the internet. He displays weird behaviour. For example he will moan and think it’s funny. His friends are the exact same and i think it’s really disturbing to see a group of nine year olds making such sexually explicit jokes. I can’t even delete TH-cam because he accesses it through Safari and not the actual TH-cam app and even when i recommend him child friendly content he’ll say it’s ‘boring’.
I mean kids nowadays watch baby making 💀
You should try to restrict the website through screen time
Similarly so with my 12 yr old sister and 5-7 yr old cousins
@@rceps4999 Which is scary and will effect their mental state for years to come. Its concerning that this getting more normalized.
My younger cousins watch TH-cam a lot, they aren't at iPad kid level or anything and they usually watch it on their TV so their parents or any other adult should be able to hear/see if they're watching something they shouldn't, but I'm still terrified that this is going to happen to them. Especially the youngest since she's still at kindergarten age and she tends to watch videos on her tablet instead of TV. (Mostly because her siblings are old enough that they don't want to watch the same things she does.)
i remember seeing a creepy twisted video like this in around 2009, after watching a normal one i probably saw more that weren't as bad. In 2009 I would've been 4. I believe it scarred me, the fact that I even remember it tells something. It was a creepy twisted Dora video, it started off normal but than there was blood, angry curse words that were loud, My dad ran in and shut it off. It's not new by any means but theres a lot more of it than ever.
23:54 the show isn't aimed at kids, the creator of the TADC said there will be horror elements and even character deaths
i came to comment the same thing :) right on you for being epic and on it about the digital circus ❤❤❤
She gave out a whole list which included $3x jokes
Yeah, I was gonna say, the concept of being eternally trapped in a virtual reality simulator until you go insane is not exactly the kind of thing I’d call “kids content”.
I’m thirteen now, and when I was around 5-9, I was exposed to things like elsagate. I was interested in it because I loved Frozen things, and I loved watching Frozen related stuff. Due to this and the fact that people create nasty things with my favorite characters, I was exposed to sexual and graphic things, too. I’m glad I’m not the only one, but also extremely sad that I’m not the only one at the same time. It’s really ruined my mental state to a worrying extent. I’m still little, but not I’m aware enough to know what to avoid. It’s really upsetting to know TH-cam wouldn’t do anything against any of this for probably a long while.

As a victim of being exposed to random sexual content on TH-cam it leads to you having either hyper sexuality or you becoming an addict.. yikes. Protect your kids and siblings guys 🤙
For more information I was around 4-8 watching those
i kinda toned down when I turned 16 after accessing a lot of corn site 😶(mainly on twitter)
Afterwards i just realised corn wants me to think a lot of stuff that is unimaginable kin you can think of.
It is really not healthy.
You can’t really expect TH-cam that much to just delete all the bad stuff to go away especially 1 million people uploading everyday.
Because eventually they’ll just comeback which is frustrating I would say.

At this point, I’m not even surprised, Minecraft corn is too popular, and TH-cam cares for a quick buck, and doesn’t care. If I’m being honest, devices SHOULD NOT be given to children. Children with ADHD would struggle even more, I have ADHD, and I was exposed to this disgusting type of “Content.” It made me have a corn addiction for multiple months. I am disgusted by the blind eyes of TH-cam. The actions of TH-cam, and the creators of the content, should go directly to the darkest pits of hell.
no fr. something NEEDS to be done about this, younger children shouldn't be this addicted, for example my 5 year old brother. He's had a tablet since he was 2 and he can't do anything without it beside him, especially since he's not even on youtube kids, he's on REGULAR youtube. I can't even speak up about this to my parents because my dad doesn't care.
youtube absolutely needs to do something about it (which they're already doing right now), and as another person with ADHD, i can say that i have my own share, because these types of content ruined my life back then, and now that i actually have changed, i am extremely aware of what's going on, and to say the least, i don't like it. well, my ADHD is basically something that can easily distract me such as watching birds fly, watching the sky clouds, but about these types of videos, i've learnt to not even click on the video itself, and i don't know what happened to this generation. let's just hope the same doesn't happen to the next generation.

I’m 14 and I was exposed to these types of videos when I was smaller. I remember having hypersexual thoughts every single day. Although now I look back and see how wrong it was, I still can’t stop these thoughts from randomly appearing and it always makes me so uncomfortable when it does.

At one point my parents caught me watching this content and eventually manually checked in on what I was consuming but the damage had already been done. I was desensitized to violence and eventually developed a porn addiction (actively seeking out even more explicit content, luckily I have long overcome it) due to the prolonged exposure to soft pornography on these ''kids channels''. Heck, the videos weren't even in english, it was the russian side of youtube , this is an issue that can be found in content of ALL LANGUAGES. And it has been an issue for years, many, many years yet it's being ignored.

As someone who has babysat a kid who watches this type of content before: THANK YOU for shedding more light on the topic and bringing awareness to it. There was this 6 year old girl I babysat for very briefly, and all she did was watch these type of youtube kids slop content with VERY inappropriate themes. The absolute horror on my face when this little 6 YEAR OLD was talking to me about how "Bluey from Garten of Banban murder Pomni to sleep with Red!!! He tied up Pomni!!" (or whatever random characters it was I genuinely don't remember) I asked her to show me what video she was talking about and yeah, it was like softcore p*rn and torture being done to Garten of Banban and Amazing Digital Circus characters. I tried telling her to not watch those videos anymore but this kid would freak out, like genuine full on panic attack, if you took her phone away. I eventually moved away so I no longer babysit for her, but I genuinely feel so bad for that poor kid. I know she is going to grow up with all sorts of issues because of the disgusting and disturbing ai slop she consumes 24/7. TH-cam NEEDS to do something about this, because the next generation of kids growing up on this content are all going to be actually brain broken and need serious help.
Please tell me you made the parents aware of the situation?
@@Sly-Moose Yes I did - her mother said she'd start to monitor what her kid watches online more and also said she'd tell future babysitters to do the same (she works a lot so unfortunately she can't be there to monitor it 24/7). So hopefully the poor kid has been watching less of this horrid stuff now!
I really hope you were able to save that family/child from dealing with long term issues
As a babysittier, I have literally had to stop the kids I'm babysitting from watching such trash, but they probably just watch it when I'm not around TTmTT It's just so sad...these parents don't listen to my concerns because "it's youtube kids, it has to be safe"... and usually it's another family member (like a grandma) that will actually pay attention to my concerns....
@@StayArtsy HAHHAAAAAA
16:30 as a third grader I was exposed to this content. For 7 years I’ve struggled with addictions and stuff that I shouldn’t, but so far I’ve been trying to stop and have made progress.
What concerns me is my brothers watch this content. Daily. They’re 9,5, and 3. I don’t want them to end up like me
As a person who experienced this, I want it to stop. My little sister has been glued to her phone 24/7 and she's 1 step ahead of experiencing these type of content. TH-cam, do something
Same, My niece and nephew are both glued to their tablets and youtube/youtube kids. I'm scared for how they're going to grow up, I'm trying to warn my sister about it but she doesn't understand how severe it is. I pray youtube does something about this soon.
@@Rokume same to my little sis dose not watch TH-cam but plays roblox while talking to her friend and plays dress to impress and she has voice chat and i wanted to protect her from grommers or predators but she will say 'stop' to me like I'm an asshole

I've had this conversation with friends about the gateways into p*rn addiction and how engrained into society it is. It's crazy seeing that this content is creating a gateway and literally making people's early to late teenage years miserable. I'm so glad you made a video about this and the long-lasting effects they have on people. Addiction is no joke.
not even teens, kids and pre teens :/
KIDS like that’s illegal
@@theTETROmusic FR! there needs to be some kind of laws in place or something to help these kids who get addicted to these videos. its literally gateways into worse things.
Like fr I was addicted to this stuff as a VERY young kid and it’s not good
Fun fact the digital circus wasn’t intentionally made for kids, it’s technically a dark comedy more towards teens like murder drones, just the bright colors and no swearing rule made it easy for content farms and parents to think it’s fine.
That one time they said bitch in murder drones:
@@poatatoooo yes I know I was talking more about the digital circus because there is a no swearing rule, the characters still “swear” it is bleeped out but you can still understand what they are trying to say.
@@poatatoooothey cut it off and swearing is for teens, marvel said the f word in one of their movies so

Blood, Glitch Productions shows are made with a young audience in mind. Stop acting like they're supposed to be catered to adults.
Before I saw Travis’ voice actor comment, I was bout’ to say: “what did Aph do?” But other than that I agree with the rest :)
As someone (me) who has grown up through abuse. My family being s*xually abused and physically, not to mention being dr*gged, this is absolutely disgusting. From the amount of trauma I've grown up with and knowing that this is now being spread is just terrible. Minecraft was the first game I've ever grown up playing and still play to this day. Just from watching this video, I've had to look away from the screen for more than 60% of this video because even the censored pictures make me highly uncomfortable. I've grown up thinking that s*x is a very bad thing and now I'm 18 years old and STILL have that feeling even though I've learned about it properly. TH-cam won't do horse sh*t about this because they make money. It would have to be governments to constantly sue TH-cam into forcing them to take action.
I feel so bad for you and your family, they should reopen alcatraz for people who do such actions, but yeah TH-cam doesn't take down certain videos because TH-cam makes money of ads and kids who watch these things.
Omg i am soo sorry for you situation i hope your family are better now and you too i hope life is getting better for you
Yt? You mean drake platform
for me I was verbally abused
I'm very sorry you went through that shit..
I felt guilty just seeing censored versions of all these thumbnails in a documentary about why they are bad. I genuinely cannot imagine the lack of self respect and guilt the people who like them have.
I used to be a huge fan of Aphmau, over time, her content started getting very questionable to a point that in my perpective, it sucked and was WAY too repetitive.
Im pretty sure her get bullied cause well look at what their mom does in yt
Great journalism. Savii reacted to this in a video she uploaded on 24th October 2024, so I just wanted to pop over and thank you, the original creator. It's shocking how channels trying to discuss inflammatory issues have to censor themselves to the point where it's harder to understand the topic being discussed while the channels they're trying to expose are left alone to enable an even greater profit. It's like news channels having to skirt around the word "murder" when reporting on a murder case. Commentary and discussions on such topics do not proliferate the issues covered, but rather inform people that there is an issue and aim to approach a resolution.
This video literally gave me goosebumps. As someone who got caught up in Elsagate as a kid and whose parents banned me from unrestricted internet use until I was 16, it's disgusting how much TH-cam is still getting away with. Let me just tell you, this shit messes with your brain and ruins your childhood.
I'm 10,[my maturity[not emotional or physical] is abt a 12-14 yo] and the only thing on the internet that truly traumatized me was bloody mary vids and online bullying LOL
Bro at least you grow without watching that shit
@@dwa-s8d how r u mad that theyre safe.. you should be happy for them because that eas a portio of humaity is safe.
starting the video with a giant fucking disclaimer and the opening of “not like us” is one hell of a fucking statement holy shit
Mustard on the beat ho
22:24 the fact that some of these creators have a verification mark doesn’t surprise me anymore, especially that you have to get reviewed before getting a verification mark and TH-cam just lets them go under the radar 😔
Very disappointing. TH-cam is a good example of how people would do anything for money. 😕
Its like all the things where the world would be weird without are the biggest sources of conflict
i was one of these kids that were exposed to the elsagate stuff since i was 4/5-9, i had a intrest in MLP & the time so u can imagine how bad the content was, i ended up with many inscuretites from as young as 5. i ended up being hypersexual and getting into a whole bunch of other nasty stuff due to the lack of proper moderation on the sites i used growing up, i'm almost 13 now and i still have episodes from time to time, the interenet truely whrecked my wellbeing so im trying to montier my little brother's interent history and everything. the last thing i want is for him to end up like this, it makes me feel so upset for gen alpha, nobody is really caring about them and its heartbreaking.
As a child who was a victim of CoCSA, I saw a video of a Minecraft creeper and terrible things that happened to it and I still remember watching that and how awful it was. As a child I wondered how this was allowed on TH-cam and why I wasn't being monitored on my screen time.
I was also a victim of that type of content(I don't want to be specific) and it had me hooked for months. I tried clicking off but it was stuck on my for you page. It taken me weeks to get off it. (It was content not related to the video)
I saw some weird stuff on monster school class
@@MrBabyrajar oh yea I forgot about that one
whats cocsa
CREEPERS R SO CUUTE OMGG
Now I understand why my parents didn't want me on certain child-friendly websites until I was older as a kid. You can't trust that everything is truly child friendly there.
This is the FIRST FUCKING COMMENT I see after scrolling down forever where someone says their parents actually cared for what their kid consumed. The amount of people in here who say they watched this shit at 4-6 years old with no parents regulating it is unfathomable.
Yeah, my parents didn’t let me have access to the internet on my own until I got access to it through school computers in middle school, and I’m honestly really glad they did that. So much horrible stuff online as well as on “child-friendly” websites
Honestly, I really do agree. My younger sister loves to watch Aphmau, but sometimes while looking through the page on which the search bar has brought her to, I see inappropriate thumbnails and videos which really annoys me. I really want to protect my sister as much as I can, but also want her to watch what she wants.
She's a kid she doesn't know better even if she likes her that will still affect her mentally in the future it's okay if she stops watching something that'll affect her future self there are much more kids friendly shows that she might like
@@opal___ Its not okay It can damage her own life style
@@minecraftminifiguresadvent3170 that's what I said
@@opal___ bro You don't even take care of your damm child stop lying
@@minecraftminifiguresadvent3170 I don't have a child I'm fucking 15? I take care of my little brother who's obsessed with this type of shit and I stopped him from watching it so he doesn't become a p*rn addict when he grows up instead I make him watch children's shows. And lastly who are you to tell me I don't take care of my own sibling? I bet you even have one so shut up and mind your own business and stop acting dominant
What the fuck is wrong with these people? To be honest, I hope they all get reported, arrested, and sent to jail/prison, where they'll learn how those kind of people treat creeps like them. The people who make the original content, and the kids who watch these videos wanting to see their favorite characters, shouldn't be exposed to this... filth. I'm glad to have found the previous part, and this vid. Because now, I need to make sure my child nieces and nephews aren't being exposed to it.
Its so weird how youtube hasnt done anything about this issue, especially after elasgate
Because they earn big bucks from it and money makes them silent
@@pixelplaygaming1866 literally the reason yeah, its truly disgusting. Both this and the porn industry really be the biggest god damn worst industries
if they Dare continue, then we should bring the end of youtube through news media attention about this ongoing problem
Yeah, money corrupts. I really wish there was a way to do something about this.
@@JNJNRobin1337 I think we can’t
It's sad that TH-cam basically protects criminals, creeps, and weird content and would even market stuff to minors when that content is the furthest thing from ever being made for minors just from the thumbnails alone
What if somebody hacked into the TH-cam system and deleted every single elsagate video by force.
@@AnimalsVehiclesAndMore that would actually better the website more than hurt it
@AnimalsVehiclesAndMore
That would take too long and hard, not possible
@@AgnesBooth-zu7tw true, but if someone was able to do that, it would actually better TH-cam altogether
Its makes money for them that's why they didn't do anything.
I'm so glad I grew up mainly watching Netflix Kids, PBS Kids, and Nickelodean TV shows like Wild Krats, My Little Pony, and other stuff. Besides the fact that I watched the Simpsons because of my brother, I grew up with a really safe way to consume content. Only when the pandemic happened did I actually start watching TH-cam and I just watched more Minecraft stuff.
Seeing this is absolutely disgusting. TH-cam should be held accountable for not doing anything. Thank you for spreading the message because even if TH-cam isn't going to do anything about it, current and future parents will do.
Wild krats gang
Wild kratts was the goat 🙏
Wild karts was my childhood
my cousins watch youtube minecraft kids videos and have already had a rough start.. i wasnt really aware of this till i seen the video but i always knew something was up.. especially when i caught my cousins watching something.. from the fake channels and told them to switch the video. i hope this gets the attention of news channels. this sucks.

i watched LowLevelNoob, i waited for the next episode for a whole year, until just in like 2023-2024 i heard that he died due to covid.
TADC, Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss are NOT made for children. The authors themselves even said it. They're shows for adults. I'm an adult, I watch adult videos, so WHY on EARTH is MY KID getting recommended such content with Minecraft at heart? I know that Minecraft is a game for everyone to enjoy, and that means children too, but cmon, the problem is so obvious that YT won't do anything about it. At this point another gov intervention might be needed, and a global reaction at that.
Also, I don't have a kid, I find myself to be too young (early 20s) and irresponsible to even take care of a kid, let alone if the kid would be mine. I just made a hypothetical scenario.
as somone whos had aphmau's storyline content as a special interest since i was a little kid, that thumbnail scared the absolute piss outta me 😭 i dont watch her newer content just the stuff from when i was a kid, (and mystreet season 7 when it comes out lmao) so i had no clue if she started making inappropriate content. but lord. im actually so over these accounts that just take popular characters (esp characters popular in a younger audience) and pump out inappropriate garbage with them.
Yea, I stoped waching when it started going down hill
26:44 this part with the music ascending as you expose them, ut was beautiful.
ive got a younger sibling, and despite everything i say about how harmful youtube and even youtube kids can be nothing i say gets anyone to help prevent her from seeing these things. ive had family members sit in the same room watching not as bad- but still not kid friendly content with her and saying NOTHING until ive come around to right it. even allowing her to listen to things like music with nsfw lyrics without batting an eye. im so sick of nothing happening about this. im so sick of being powerless because nobody i know seems to care or listen. i myself was exposed to such content (while not minecraft related and not as severe) at a young age.. luckily i caught myself and figured myself out from there- but this kind of shit, like you said, really messes people up.
for my sister, i beg for this video to get traction and not be silenced. people need to know and there needs to be a serious wake-up call about this kind of content being so easily accessible.
Try talking to other parents and adults. Adults outside the family and or teachers who you trust, they’ll probably do something about it if you give them proof and show them comments from people who watched the content at her age. Don’t give up, you can still stop this ❤
same, i have a lil sis and i am not letting them watch anything at all unsupervised
Be violent about it :)
@@Little_snow_tiger ill give it a shot when possible. we dont get out much, so i dont have a reliable way to contact others outside my family. ill attempt yet again talking to my parents as well- usually they just brush me off and tell me to stop parenting though. just hoping this doesnt worsen by the time im going to move out in a few years or so.
@@salmontoast maybe try getting your parents to watch the content with your sibling. They’ll fully see what their child is watching.
Don’t worry guys, if the video gets demonetized he can just post it on TH-cam kids
Nah, it will get demonetized in youtube kids because of not being family friendly 😂
The amazing digital circus was never supposed to be a kids show. Its honestly awful the situation that its in.
