The Problem with YouTube Recommendations
The Problem with YouTube Recommendations
On YouTube, there's no empty page. As soon as a video ends, new suggestions appear immediately: similar videos, trending content, videos other kids are watching. None of these were chosen by you. None have been reviewed by a human. The algorithm decides — and it never decides in your favor.

How to Build a Safe Content List
1
Search and approve channels
Search for the YouTube channel you want to approve. With one click it's added to your child's whitelist — and only that channel is visible.
2
Individual videos or playlists
You can also approve individual videos or entire playlists. This gives you maximum control over exactly what your child watches.
3
New content appears automatically
When an approved channel publishes a new video, it automatically appears in your child's feed. No manual updates needed.
