Parents beware: A new study of YouTube’s algorithmic captions on videos aimed at kids documents how the text sometimes veers into very adult language. In a sample of more than 7,000 videos from 24 top-ranked kids’ channels, 40 percent displayed words in their captions found on a list of 1,300 “taboo” terms, drawn in part from a study on cursing. In about 1 percent of videos, the captions included words from a list of 16 “highly inappropriate” terms, with YouTube’s algorithms most likely to add the words “bitch,” “bastard,” or “penis.” Read more at the link in our bio.

Man this just gets to me because the algorithm decides monetization and so many YouTubers are getting shafted because of it
Can we not kill YouTube anymore? We need more content creators not fewer. And wired makes huge money off their YouTube channel so…
Real simple, monitor your kids internet activity and limit to to only the time sypi can watch.
If kids can read well enough to handle captions, they’re smart enough to learn the words involved 😂
Where’s Tipper Gore?!?
Wow, it’s almost like a system that transcribes speech into captions isn’t 100% accurate and that’s why people still add their own captions.
Raise your kid tho
youtube sux!
There’s my profanity!
Almost as if children shouldnt have unfettered youtube access
make no mistake. this is intended.
Why are kids videos being transcribed anyway? They can’t read!
lol
Yes, relax!
😂 they know those words already, even if you think they dont
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
if that kid can read it, then it already knows what that stuff means… i mean it’s like what 1? Genious baby…
It’s weird how you can’t say some things because it’s “offensive” but these words are normal for kids?
