Important Update for All Creators: Complying with COPPA

"Important Update for All Creators: Complying with COPPA" is an infamous YouTube video uploaded by the main YouTube channel.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) This update causes several channels to be forced into being "kid-friendly."
 * 2) Because of this, people are now fearing that their channels will be terminated all because they aren't considered "kid-friendly."
 * 3) It just comes to show that YouTube has pretty much overstayed its welcome, just like its video series YouTube Heroes and YouTube Rewind.
 * 4) As a matter of fact, Lauren, the speaker of this video, also seems worried about the future of YouTube just by her expression and her voice.
 * 5) Lauren also claims that you know your videos and audience best, which is not true for everyone. In fact, every YouTuber always have subscribers they never knew they existed.
 * 6) The whole thing is basically going to have users abuse the "it's made for kids" excuse to dismiss criticism.
 * 7) To make this far worse, YouTube can set the audience rating for you if you do not mark your video.
 * 8) *Ironically, they admitted that this kind of stuff is flawed.
 * 9) One of the things that will mark your video for kids is if one of the actors are children. This would not be true for videos like "Magical Dream Bed" and "Naptime!" considering those videos have children, but yet contain graphic content, in fact, all of the children actually die in this video.
 * 10) If you mark your video as "for kids," then comments, ratings, intro cards, and end screens will not be allowed, making the "kid-friendly" video very bland. There is also no reason for this whatsoever (besides comments, which can be a problem, but still it is unnecessary).
 * 11) *Similarly, "kid-friendly" channels will not have stories, community tabs, notifications, and the ability to save videos to playlists (the last of which makes no sense, as playlists are useful if you only want your child to watch kid-friendly videos).
 * 12) This video could have simply be a short slideshow about the update, but it contains Lauren putting a bunch of nonsense filler for no reason at all.

Reception
The announcement of the COPPA policy has been heavily slammed by users, finding this to be the downfall of YouTube. The video had 136,000 dislikes before the removal of the dislike count.
