    This is extremely wrong on so many levels. No kid should be using tech until they’re much, much older.

        Other services aren’t pathalogical about their algorithms, queues, and automatic content playing as YouTube though. AFAIK, no other service will auto play videos outside the specific series you’ve selected.

          Auto play is an option on smarttube. You can also just go to the subscriptions feed and just watch what you’re subscribed to or search. We watch Blippi and Danny Go without signing in for example.

        How are you able to do this without ads? Are you using an Invidious frontend or something along those lines?

          A designated Kids YouTube profile has no ads. They’re not allowed to collect data on under 13s, legally, so targeted ads aren’t allowed. They’re a sub account attached to your parents account.

          Smartube app on Android TV box, it also has built in sponsor block. I also removed all of the apps that the box came with, changed the front end and changed to an ad blocking DNS so that it’s just the apps that I want on there and no ads anywhere.

            I’ve heard about Smartube for an Invidious frontend, and it’s really nice for sure. I know Roku has Playlet, and it’s still on the Roku app ecosystem to this very day.
