I will take negative 0 stars if possible

I will take negative 0 stars if possible. Some bloody videos are on there. Why are some people look spooky 👻. Some inappropriate & horrible stuff happening on there but it’s gross. Fake pop-ups are not disappearing! Some green videos look DISTURBING. YouTube kids look like the YouTube app. Fake and inaccurate content from YouTube kids. Why does YouTube kids look so bad, dumb, and ugly?! YouTube kids has videos from YouTube. Very evil. Fake videos look disgusting. Tickle bug content. It says the word “available” . No YouTube Kids videos about how to kill children. It’s terrible and evil. Ewww. Weird kids shows with a pain in the butt. They use words like stupid, dumb, ignorant, I hate, and foolish. iPad mini try to suffocate babies, do evil stuff to babies. Terrible. Do not buy. YOUTUBE KIDS IS NOT FOR KIDS. There’s weird tickle bug channels, and bad behavior. There are creepy webcams, violent and dangerous videos, and the worst things.
