“Welcome to Go Cat—a fun and exciting YouTube channel for kids!” the channel’s description announces to 24,500 subscribers and more than 7 million viewers. By manipulating the platform’s algorithms, these videos were able to appear on YouTube’s dedicated Kids’ app—preying on children’s curiosities to farm thousands of clicks for cash. In its attempts to eradicate the problem, YouTube removed ads on over 2 million videos, deleted more than 150,000, and terminated 270 accounts. In response to WIRED’s request for comment, YouTube says it “terminated two flagged channels for violating our Terms of Service” and is suspending the monetization of three other channels. “A number of videos have also been removed for violating our Child Safety policy,” a YouTube spokesperson says.
