Agreed, YouTube Kids is not always for kids. There is some very weird, sinister stuff on there that isn't in-your-face obvious. Stuff like that is just weird, it's definitely better to approve certain channels and keep the kiddos from getting pulled into any algorithms!
I mainly use YouTube through the app (although I’m slowly moving off it using RSS and yt-dlp) and my account can’t watch age restricted videos because I’m not that keen on giving google my drivers license or credit card. The amount of totally normal content being age restricted and the amount of highly questionable or outright disturbing or inappropriate content marked as “for kids” is mind boggling. Especially when you consider everything that’s neither age restricted or for kids.
