The videos were not even made by people. They were dynamically generated using some keywords by a bot, with intention of directing these videos to kids. It's not to mess with them though. It's literally just for profit and they don't check to see if the video is good, or even appropriate. Youtube is just doing it's job in making sure videos reach their target audience. If a kid looks up Peppa pig, they're going to get Peppa pig videos. These channels have Peppa pig videos. The kids are going to get the videos from this channel. They are now looking at this channel, they're going to start getting everything else from this channel. Or Elsa or whoever else. Youtube's humans are now doing their job after discovering this by cleaning it up. |
