I've gotta say, YouTube's new COPPA rules for YouTubers are kinda,,,

Well, they're very iffy. I don't support them.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, it was something like YouTube got sued by enforcement, and so now they're enforcing that every YouTuber has to mark their videos as either kids-oriented, or not.

The problem with this I see is that it's vague. For instance, Breaking Benjamin songs in the "Dear Agony" album (because I've been listening to that for the past hour)? Definitely not "kids-oriented", it's with mature subjects, like death.

But should, like, 10-year-olds not listen to it? I mean, I listen to it. The songs have good themes.

So are such songs completely "kids-oriented" or not? That's the problem. Very ambiguous and open to interpretation.

Besides, it's prone to affect many YouTubers. I mean, if their video is scrutinized and made a bad example by the industry over and over, the industry will collapse from people just giving up that career before they are forced to.

It just doesn't make much sense to me.
