    Ehh. I find that regular YouTube will do a much better job at keeping on track with whatever kid stuff we put on than YouTube kids. I don’t put YouTube stuff on for the kids but my wife will throw on a bluey compilation or something when the tv is “not working” and usually it will stay on bluey related stuff. Even with the rest of the recommendations being “old fart yells about something related to open source” and “murder podcast”

    My wife used to put on YouTube kids but it would just go wild. We’d start with a bluey compilation and the next thing it would autoplay would be either some show for teenagers or an ai video where the characters sound like they’re constantly having an orgasm.

    My mother in law made the mistake of putting on YouTube kids a few months ago, my son wanted a specific paw patrol episode that she couldn’t find on whatever streaming service they use so she put it on YouTube. She said she put it on, went to do some dishes and a little bit later heard someone talking about beating and/or killing their parents.

    Now all their shows are on jellyfin with an account that only has access to their library. No surprises, nothing inappropriate, my in laws can access and navigate it easily.

      Heads up: If you’re looking for anything more, all of Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood is on Internet Archive. My kid isn’t old enough to navigate anything like Jellyfin themselves yet, but it’s been a good calm show for when we need her to start settling down.

      I did need to rename them so they’d be recognized though, which was a pain in the ass.

      Jellyfin is a honestly pretty good solution

      I miss the old Kids TV channels that were age appropriate, entertaining and educational
