Any videos containing the following are at risk, and creators of said content WILL be fined upwards of $42,000 PER video. When blacklisted as ‘for kids’, you as a creator will loose the end card, info card, comment section, and most importantly; ad revenue.


Subject Matter:

Kids’ jokes

Kids’ music

Kids’ games

Video/Computer games

Children’s tv shows or stars

Cartoon characters

Sports

Stories

Toys

Children’s Books

Fantasy

Children’s arts and crafts

Pets

Snack Food/Cereal


Presentation:

Language like Cool, Duh, Games; essentially language that is understandable by kids.

Animated characters

Bold graphics

Fast moving graphics

Bright and Vibrant colors

Young/Child models

Simple Songs

Popular Songs

Cartoon Noises

Child-like noises/sound effects

What this all means? (Take it with a spoon full of salt) It means VOCALOID content is gonna be more difficult to view, and difficult to make. COPPA see anime-esque characters, animated videos, addictive music, etc., they see it as for Kids, artists, and gamers will loose any modicum of revenue. we all suffer, unless we act.

 

Watch this too:

 

Here’s my comment: “I signed because; many content creators I subscribed to that cover games, toys, movies, cartoons, etc. in a colorful/wholesome manner are at risk. A entire industry is going to crash, and adults, children and parents that watch content by said content creators will both suffer. This all because of FTC’s views of YouTube/Video streaming content through the lens of COPPA, via the pleas of ignorant advocacy groups, founded by ignorant parents who don’t want to admit to said ignorance. If it isn’t addressed now, Kids will ONLY see adult content on the internet and no one will have little reason to make content for children. Make the parent aware of their child’s consumption of content, not label, and segregate said content with unrealistic penalties, and so little incentive.”
