I think kids are making YouTube videos with AI. I do not like some of the reels. I have seen videos of child abuse, violence, crimes, inappropriate behavior, and videos I don't even understand of strange characters and loud music.
I reported one video of child abuse. The baby was in distress hanging by his neck from a piece of furniture and trying to breathe while someone was taping it. From the comments, I saw that many other people also reported it.
What are you seeing on YouTube video reels? Am I the only one who sees questionable content?

So far I've been lucky, but my feed is usually full of tech content and things I frequently watch on youtube.

@akalinus Sometimes when you look at certian things, Youtube tries to figure what else you might like. And, since the news shows a lot of negative things in the world.... then there you go.

@akalinus that's NOT the way to do it, there's a lot
more better things to video than such trash as that.

@2ndchances24 Yes, but why are they doing it? There must be something in it for them.

@2ndchances24 Yes, but maybe they do it to get other kids to watch. They get a lot of clout that way.

I wouldn't watch anything like that on YouTube. I think you were right to report it.

I don't watch reels unless my mother finds something funny. I watch true crime, some music videos, and I do some exercise videos.

I didn't see any because I forget to look at them. I watch ones related to how to design different books on canvas for kdp, but forget to look at much more.

I usually look at comedies from Mexico, music videos from artist of the 1980s as well as female professional matches from Japan, Mexico and the independent scene plus religious videos. The only videos that are questionable are either police videos of shootings or of world events in the news.

I never saw things like that. I did watch a lot of true crime but the content producers sort of got into a war with each other and tried to sabotage their competition. There was a lot of name calling and such. I don't watch it much anymore.
I did like the Chinese Cliff Families. I marathoned watched that for a while. It is fascinating.

We watch a lot of YouTube videos but have never seen anything like that! That's horrible.
