Too child safe

To be honest, I know this is meant for kids, but I’m 10 and I wanna watch unspeakable real life and Preston real life and I honestly feel like it’s too protective for old kids, especially if the parents of the kids don’t let them use YouTube like me. I’m a kid my parents don’t let me use YouTube, which is so annoying because everyone in my school has normal YouTube
