Users do not need to look for videos of children to end up watching them. The platform can lead them there through a progression of recommendations.

So a user who watches erotic videos might be recommended videos of women who become conspicuously younger, and then women who pose provocatively in children’s clothes. Eventually, some users might be presented with videos of girls as young as 5 or 6 wearing bathing suits, or getting dressed or doing a split.

On its own, each video might be perfectly innocent, a home movie, say, made by a child. Any revealing frames are fleeting and appear accidental. But, grouped together, their shared features become unmistakable.

This (very disturbing) article also says that predators use the comments section of some of these videos to communicate and share tips. And it shares the story of a woman who was at first delighted, and then mortified, that a video she uploaded of her 10-year-old daughter playing in a swimming pool eventually topped 400,000 views.

So Youtube directors would rather encourage traffic than protect young kids?
It's sickening to think that an innocent video of young kids playing or swimming could end up as a paedophiles sexual aid.

It's a mistake imo, posting any images of your youngsters online .....it's an invitation for perverts to rifle through your family album.....horrible thought.

It’s actually really sick. I don’t put photos or videos of my kids online (for my own reasons tbh) but I should be able to without fear of a sick fuck watching them for his sexual pleasure.
