Parents are reporting that negative political advertisements for candidates like Jon Ossoff and Mike Bloomberg are appearing on YouTube channels intended for children. These ads, which often contain aggressive or frightening political messaging, are being shown to viewers as young as five years old.

New York Magazine editor Max Reed describes "The Inversion," a term coined by YouTube engineers in 2013 when bot traffic nearly surpassed human traffic. This phenomenon threatens the integrity of the internet as machine learning systems may begin to classify real human behavior as fraudulent. The prevalence of fake data is cited as a long-standing issue in the digital advertising industry.

Videos marked as "made for kids" on YouTube will lose key features starting in January, including comments, personalized advertising, and notification bells. The hosts review the FTC criteria for child-directed content, which includes the use of animated characters, toys, and simple songs.

### YouTube Ad Revenue Model and Content Policing Challenges

- **Episode:** [1145: Dumb Meat](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1145-dumb-meat.md)
- **Published:** 2019-06-10

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1145-dumb-meat/chapter/youtube-ad-revenue-model-and-content-policing-challenges.md

The YouTube business model relies on "long tail" revenue from millions of low-stakes videos, such as cat clips and birthday parties, rather than a few major hits. Maintaining "brand safety" for advertisers like BMW requires massive human and AI resources to police content. The current "adpocalypse" is framed as a failure of these systems to guarantee a safe environment for corporate brands.

A creepy viral video titled "The Children of the Future" features children singing about a bleak future and blaming their parents.
