Hey there everyone. I'm not sure at all how safe my and everyone's youtube channels will be come January 1st. COPPA has some crazy vague rules, and Youtube is realeasing its bots upon the platform once more. One thing is for sure, if things don't get sorted out I will most likely not be uploading my content to youtube anymore. I may even remove what I already have if things turn out for the worst. The vaguness of what is define as "Child targeted or child-attractive" content is terrifying.

SOMETHING very important that may help you is to turn of Targeted advertising. Have a look at this image above so you can see how to turn targeted advertsining off. Even if the youtube bot catches us up in the shit storm, this button will be a very helpful tool for everyone in general who creates content.
