Looking into some comments, it sounds like YouTube is supposedly so averse to COPPA violations (collecting data on child viewers) that content it believes to be truly made for children then must be designated as such, even if the maker accurately marked it with a 18+ rating.
Youtube therefore would rather emotionally scar or groom children than accidentally collect their metadata.
I don't see how allowing content uploaders to manually set their content as 'not for kids' would lead into a COPPA violation. You just blacklist the content from the 'for kids' app at the uploader's request and no additional data gets collected.
Groomer Tube strikes again. Parents who let their kids mindlessly watch youtube are...the majority of these lazy worthless breeders these days. Had kids, didn't really want them and hate the responsibility, let youtube raise them where their parents let tv raise them.
Somebody should be fired for this. This is a malfunction in a system that actively needs to not exist. You could have the opposite system, that automatically flags for-kids videos as not for kids, but even that is a mistake because everything should automatically be flagged as not for kids until you manually whitelist it.
I'm sure that was a very minor glitch, and not something that could be easily exploited for greater Elsagate content.

Ah, yes. Another successful government regulation with "unpredictable" side-effects.

He should appeal by saying that it was just a trans stripper.
