Videos featuring kids get 3 times more views on YouTube: Report

San Francisco: At a time when YouTube is facing flak for not being careful with issues concerning children, a new study shows that videos featuring kids under 13 years gather three times more traction on the platform.
US-based Pew Research Centre assembled a list of popular YouTube channels that existed through late 2018, and it analyzed all of the videos that those channels produced during the first week of January 2019.
While only a small number of English language videos were targeted at children, they still received more views on average than other videos that were not targeted at children, The Verge reported on Thursday, citing the report.
