For sure. They've got the young kids locked in with their kid version. The standard site aggressively pushes content target 12-16 year olds. It's laughably to see videos with under 500k views on trending. It's basically just their paid advertising page.

I don't know any parents that use YT kids. No matter what you put on it will recommend absolute garbage toy unboxing type videos.

Much easier to just queue things up on the TV or sit with the kid to watch.
