This was an excellent post for a week off! YouTube is so hard with kids. I appreciate hearing about the channels you mention. After wrestling with an old iPad that would not let us install YouTube Kids, we finally got it on an Android device. It is much better than regular YT for my 7.5 yr old who leaned on screens way too much in the pandemic and I kept taking YouTube off of every device in the house. But like you mention, even on YouTube Kids, junk gets through -- nothing terrifying, but a lot of low quality pointless videos. KidzBop (both on and off YouTube) was a nice recent discovery for us. Uptown Funk, for example, becomes much more kid friendly, thanks to KidzBop and they make other popular songs kid friendly which is a nice thing.
