The disturbing YouTube videos that are tricking children

>Hundreds of these videos exist on YouTube, and some generate millions of views. One channel "Toys and Funny Kids Surprise Eggs" is one of the top 100 most watched YouTube accounts in the world - its videos have more than 5 billion views.

>Its landing page features a photo of a cute toddler alongside official-looking pictures of Peppa Pig, Thomas the Tank Engine, the Cookie Monster, Mickey and Minnie Mouse and Elsa from Frozen.

>But the videos on the channel have titles like "FROZEN ELSA HUGE SNOT", "NAKED HULK LOSES HIS PANTS" and "BLOODY ELSA: Frozen Elsa's Arm is Broken by Spiderman". They feature animated violence and graphic toilet humour.

>The people behind the account didn't respond to Trending's request for an interview. We attempted to contact several other producers of similar videos - and got the same result.

>Trending also contacted two companies behind the cartoon series being ripped off, Disney and EntOne - the distributor of Peppa Pig. Neither wanted to comment.

>So should parents take more care when it comes to allowing their children to watch cartoons on YouTube?

>Sonia Livingstone is an expert on child online safety and professor of social psychology at the London School of Economics,

>"It's perfectly legitimate for a parent to believe that something called Peppa Pig is going to be Peppa Pig," she says. "And I think many of them have come to trust YouTube... as a way of entertaining your child for ten minutes while the parent makes a phone call. I think if it wants to be a trusted brand then parents should know that protection is in place."

>"I don't think we want to police it for the whole world," Livingstone says. "A lot of this material is satirical, creative - or actually offensive but within freedom of expression. What we need is child protection."
...

>YouTube did not offer a spokesperson for interview, but in a statement said: "We take feedback very seriously. We appreciate people drawing problematic content to our attention, and make it easy for anyone to flag a video.

>"Flagged videos are manually reviewed 24/7 and any videos that don't belong in the app are removed within hours. For parents who want a more restricted experience, we recommend that they turn off the Search feature in the app."

>The company also suggested that parents use the YouTube Kids app, which is available for mobile phones and tablets, and turn on "restricted mode" which limits flagged content. It can be found at the bottom of any page on the YouTube site, but cautions that "no filter is 100% accurate".

>And since Trending began investigating, several of the channels that we brought to the attention of YouTube have been removed - including the one containing the video of fake Peppa visiting the dentist.

There have been recurring threads on /x/ about disturbing children's games and shows. The paranormal theory is that it's some rogue ai making them to figure out how to blend in. I think somebody else claimed it was just a bunch of indians attempting to translate their pooinloo humor, while also making monetization dosh.

Holy fuck are fucked in the head. "Rogue AI".. you're serious aren't you?

>>125961
mentall illness aint funny, friendo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=701xgdCzExo

H3H3 did something on this, but it's mainly Youtube that allows it.

>>125961
/x/ is retarded but indians could be using a bot to make and spam videos on youtube. I mean just look at some of them.

>>125961
"Rogue AI" is silly, but many of these videos follow obvious templates or have similar content that might indicate they're randomly/procedurally generated.

It's strange, though. This story's release happens when jewtube starts removing and restricting a lot of its content amidst some controversy. Plausible that this is a "do it for the children" story to prime people for youtube putting much tougher restrictions on content.

>not posting the original peppa dick
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJHbTsIteKY

Are you even trying?

>>125984
They're not randomly or procedurally generated. Somebody had to put spidermen outfits on. Somebody had to make pewdiepie and trump 3d models. If you think AI or machine learning is capable of randomly creating this shite, you should watch less and read more.

>>125993
I wasn't talking about the videos in the article specifically. Look up "finger family" videos.

Okay this one is a bit weird. It's probably someone with a tenuous grasp of the English language trying to cash in on an otherwise legitimate, but retarded youtube show for kids.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMz0dI0LUI4
This has India written all over it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSQxjB1Jdkw
This is the legitimate show.

Listen, I'm not saying this is alright at all but anybody who likes the fucking minion deserves to shit their pants and have nightmares. Just gonna throw that out there.

>>126000
this is so fucking surreal like a goddamn dream

How does Youtube handle this?

are you guys retarded ?

Like any amount of banning is going to stop those channels.

>I'm going to let me child browse the internet unsupervised and then am suprised when they go to Ogrish in elementary school

Yeah, toplol

>>125866
I think someone is just cashing in on a 'Don't Hug Me I'm Scared' knockoff

>>125914
There were all those weird dentist, doctor, birthing, zombie etc games on /v/. I remember one I played was Dora on the way to the hospital and it looked like her parents had beaten her. At one point you inject her with a syringe that's clearly morphine.

>>125866
this is exatly what happens, when house wifes get bored and need something to rant about.

>>126077

Checkarooni and yeah, I started with faces of death tapes and had found stuff like ogrish by the time I was 12.
How are we not passed the point of oversight because it's new technology?

Now all we need is a Peppa Pig rape game so I can beat my meat to dumb thicc Peppa.

They use botnets to inflate their views. They also inflate the comments' section with automated comments from accounts around the world using latin and other scripts. This is nothing new. Those superhero channels are just money-making schemes. They were exposed ages ago, dare I say it, by...h3h3 (I know, but bear with me) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKx1Ith4vJY

So no, it's not "just a children's show". It's technically an organised crime operation based on or paying for the services of botnets in order to obtain massive amounts of money through ad revenue.

>>126317
>They use botnets to inflate their views
They don't need botnets when they live in India and have 150 extended relatives.

I didn't say I believed it, sperg. I often made fun of the theory. I somewhat believed the indian theory though.

How about the "we are the po leece, we are the po leece" videos

You can tell who has kids because they eat this shit up.

>"wahhhh you're censoring kids from seeing people talk about their sexual fetish!"

>"whoa the kids should not see someone go to the dentist"

The chutzpah of these people

>>125907

my fucking sides

THOSE FUCKING BOT COMMENTS, WTF IS GOING ON HERE??

>>125907
There are much better Nasheed's tbh

>>126000
Ok this is it. I'm convinced the internet was a mistake and we've gone too far. Seriously like >>127767 said, there's a lot of fucking bot comments. How is this real life?

It's in a style that would have you believe it's a "rogue ai". More like an ARG, like "Ben Drowned" or "That Poppy" https://youtu.be/8B1sRPwK248

On Topic: I think parents that let their children watch youtube videos unattended are fucking retarded.
>"Hurr, I want my child to watch a licensed TV show, better go to YouTube"
NO. This kind of thinking is SO FUCKED. If you want your kid to watch Peppa Pig you go to fucking http://www.peppapig.co.uk/watch and let them watch there
You give them the Netflix App and sign them in with the Kids account.
>"I got no muneh for Netflix"
Shouldn't have had a kid, but still: Generally speaking the TV channels have an online portal where some episodes are available on demand.

Letting your kid watch a fucking LICENSED show on YouTube is so fucking stupid. YouTube is a creators platform. Inhabited by 99% independent creators making their own shit. Sure there are SOME shows with an official channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNuLcjVa3vCeHFyUeTKtBlA), but letting your kid watch any show on YouTube is quite naive.
>"Some guy on YouTube made a parody of a kids show that's not suited for children and my child watched it while I was at the bar. YouTube is responsible for my kids mental illnesses"
This is triggering me so hard.

>>127781
I've never heard anyone say they can't afford Netflix. Not to mention, half of the shit you said is generally only known by adults that are 18 to like early 30's. It's not like these people grew up on the internet like we (I) did.

Catfish is a perfect example of this. I haven't trusted a picture, video, or any media source without a legitimate time stamp since I was goddamn 13. I'm 23 now. Yet, there are still people that have no idea what the fucking creeps and weirdos internet contains.

>>127784
I don't pay for Netflix.

My kids devour this stuff, watch it over and over on you tube kids. The horrible Indian shit, the botted Spider-Man Elsa shit and peppa pig all get equal time. I've probably heard the finger family song over 2000 times and seen every variation.

I still think it's better than tv.

>>125968
So, this guy makes money out of showing animals being burned alive, in loop, while saying it's not cool to do so.

>>127813
I masturbate watching girls getting fucked by dogs, the first porn video I ever saw was bestiality.
I suggest you make sure they don't go watch gigantism fetishist paedophile videos. (yes it's a thing). And never post anything without you checking it first.

>>127813
>I still think it's better than tv
It is but that's not saying much.

Some of the stuff is great. Almost as good as socializing. There's some videos of people playing with dolls and shit. Nice families have videos of their vacations and other activities.

>>127871
>I masturbate watching girls getting fucked by dogs
m-me too anon

Could they make their agenda pushing a little less obvious?

Hey, welcome to the club :)

Give me a fucking break. These videos are hilarious. Maybe these shitty parents should stop relying on youtube as some sort of babysitter and actually monitor these kids themselves if they really want to use the internet.

>>130279
Too late for that. The internet is for the hoi polloi now, and what they want is slightly more interactive television.

>>125907

this is the most amazing thing I've seen today

spooky

Peppa pig is fucking cunt normally anyway! These videos are an improvement. Honestly people need to fucking hang out with their kids.

'The mapping of the human genome was completed early this century. As a result, the evolutionary log of the human race lay open to us. We started with genetic engineering, and in the end, we succeeded in digitizing life itself.'

God bless the free-market!

If you honestly believe this is the work of an "ai", you need to take your meds

>>130682
Nah, didn't even watch the video.
AI creating circumstances to calcuate human reaction and 'the internet was a mistake' are just the two main themes of MGS2, of which I took the quote from.
