YouTube is recommending violent videos to kids

There's been a lot of talk lately about how horrible YouTube's recommendation algorithm is, but none so far have really made me care that much until now. YouTube's own algorithm is putting violent videos right in front of kids' faces. Maybe letting a robot choose what videos we watch isn't such a great idea.

The videos in question pop up on the YouTube Kids app and are often disguised as cartoons. The article linked above shows an example that starts off pretty innocent looking but then turns into a shoot-out between characters.
