⭕️PRODUCERS OF YOUTUBE KIDS PLEASE READ⭕️

Hi, and, I’m not here to rant about your app, but, I AM here to list a few YouTubers that I wished were on here. I used to have regular YouTube, but, my parents put me back to kids. So, these are some content creators that I remember, and again, I wish were on here:

✨“Edit audio compilation” YouTubers✨

There are lots of these, so I can’t really specify certain channels that make this content. But, I wish that they were on here because they have a large variety of music that I love, and I know other kids my age do. They’re really fun to listen, and dance to can might just lighten up overall energy.

✨LittleMindXD✨

I’m gonna shorten her name to LMXD for efficiency. She’s an editor, and makes edits on popular or trending topics , mainly seen by younger kids. Her shorts are always full of color, and, can be appealing to my age group. However, I do suggest that her videos stay in the 9-12 group, and not any of the others.

✨BlenTouad✨ ( I think that how it’s spelled😭)

Okay, so, they, are a content creator that makes 3d animations of the popular series FPE, ( Fundamental Paper Education ) Now, again, I do think that their channel should stay in the 9-12 age group. Some of their videos might not be for YouTube kids, but, I believe that most of her videos are. (Like, 50/50) However, their series have creative writing, actual voice actors, and overall, is really appealing.

So, I’m 10, almost 11, and I ask, (not forcing) of you to consider adding these channels to YouTube kids, staying in the 9-12 age group, sense they seem the most appealing, and appropriate for those ages.

Best app ever

I did have this app, but my mother said I was not allowed to watch YouTube anymore, but I don’t understand. This is a great app. It is really fun for kids especially my sisters. One of my siblings is three years old. She loves watching it with me and yeah, it’s just a really fun app and I love all of the people who are on the app because they never swear so if I’m watching something then they won’t swear in front of my siblings because my younger siblings are always around me so I just think it’s a great app and it’s really recommended if you want something for your kids to enjoy watching but you don’t want them watching like intense YouTube just get this app and no issues with their behavior should come out out of this app. It’s totally recommended.
