This is a really good point, I never thought about this. While we still haven't seen the anti-adblock message from YT (Firefox + uBlock Origin on Linux Mint), we've been using Nebula more and more lately. It would be great if there was a similar service for quality kids content. As it stands we stick to just a couple YT channels for our 2.5 year old because of how much absolute, irredeemable garbage there is targeted at kids there. I can't imagine how shit the ads are for them.
I have no idea what the content is like on YouTube Kids but on my YouTube app when I cast kids stuff the display ads on the phone side are often for mobile games with really creepy shit like dead Paw Patrol characters and grieving Elsa.
I'd never leave a little one attended with an iPad with YouTube on their own
