Wouldn’t doubt it if they did market to kids. TV networks did it for decades, every Saturday morning, with no FCC challenges.

PBS had services for children as well. Were Bert and Ernie or Mr. Rogers ‘addictive’? I have no idea what YT for children is like, but I wouldn’t have handed my kids over to them to babysit without checking them out … frequently. Corporations exist for one purpose. Will government stop them?
