I made a thread on this last year.
Nursery Rhyme YouTube is fucking weird, I've been watching them for two years or so. I like to make gifs out of the animations sometimes.

I've done some research into bizarre children's YT.
The conclusion I've come to is that the videos are obviously designed to farm money. Repetitive videos of insane length obviously meant to milk YT dollars from toddlers who are simply put in front of a tablet all day.
However, the videos take such bizarre forms. Why so?
I suspect that an automated system generates content. Think about it: every video is produced using a very simple template, videos seem to have little logic and correlate to whatever commenters are suggesting or what is trending at the time (dedicated weens could probably get a video with Chris), videos seem to be uploaded very frequently and methodically.
Some kind of algorithm produces a list of topics: Hitler, Frozen, etc. This list is passed on to some glorified slave in India who proceeds to make shitty 3d models. Said 3d models are pasted onto a template, looped for a couple hours, and uploaded with an automatically generated title. Somebody, somewhere, rakes in serious YT money as toddlers around the world revel in their mindless entertainment.
I suppose the question, now, is how do topics like Hitler get picked up? Obviously, a toddler wouldn't be able to suggest Hitler and no algorithm designed to detect trending children's media would mark Hitler as a potential topic. What demographic would enjoy mindless, repetitive videos of shitty 3d models from their favorite movies, cartoons, and games? Autists. Low, or moderately, functioning autists. These same low functioning autists may have the capability of producing semi-legible comments demanding the next video include Hitler, or whoever else said autist may have some interest in.


tl;dr - It's all a semi-automated system designed to milk YT ad money. The content is consumed by small children, primarily, while exceptional individuals influence its nature and no one questions it as toddlers will watch anything and the robots/Indian slaves don't care as long as they get a few rupees. Someone at the top makes serious profits.

The whole prospect of having a "Kid Mode" is a lie.

Someone's always going to find a way around it.

Shame it has come to this at all, but I suppose it was unavoidable.
 
Roughly 200,000 "Finger Family" videos have been uploaded within the last 48 hours alone. Can someone confirm if the YouTube "About [X] results" counter is accurate? Please tell me it's not.

I came to the same conclusion, but another question or two is why YouTube/Google allows these degenerates to poison children and funnel money away from them. One answer is that YouTube doesn't know about it because all of the videos are created using algorithms that make it harder for the Google algorithms to monitor/flag for botting. However, this has all been going on for years now, and I would be shocked if YouTube/Google wasn't totally aware of all of this by now. If they had stopped sending BIG BUCKS to all of these shit channels, we would hardly seeing any new videos, but nowadays we are seeing more and more of the cancer.

I can't even begin to imagine all of the storage it would take to store all the YouTube Finger Family videos alone, not the mention the resources needed to organize and maintain it all. I did some sloppy math, and Finger Family videos alone account for at least 2,000 to 3,000TB. That is nothing in comparison to YouTube's total storage capacity, but impressive considering I only have 10TB total.
 
What's weird is some of them really seem passionate about their work. I've seen One of the channels frequently respond to comments asking how they make these videos, and they go in depth on how they do it in blender, a popular free 3d modeling program. I'm not too sure about the creator's state of mind/job though.
Now that "popular youtubers" are catching onto these thing's existance we've already lost one or two of these weird channels due to mass false flagging for being "creepy". And yeah it's fucking creepy and absurd but there's fucking clickbait out there claiming these channels to be the "SCARIEST MOST DISTURBING CHANNELS ON YOUTUBE"
I guess this is what we get for spamming all of our friends with the Hitler finger family videos, as well as shit like "the hitler dance" and "five little hitlers"

See that'd make sense if it wasn't for the fact all the models they use are actually from publicly available 3d Model rip sites. Even the hitler model is one of these. All these examples are only from one channel but the others seem to do the exact same thing.
A few examples of this are more noticable in the video game related ones of these.


Some are even pubicly available custom files.
For instance, this one has a 3D sans model originally made for the source engine. They've used the preview image for this sans model as well as other custom models in other videos.

 
the fact that the abc one doesn't go by the usual "twinkle twinkle little star" melody triggers me

This one is all kinds of weird IMHO. Phallic balloons and a hand with 6 fingers.

Oooh I've ran into that kid a few times. It's always popping balloons of some kind. They seem to be one of the one videos that aren't automated. I thought it was some family trying to capitalize on their kid wanting to be youtube famous/all the money off the finger family things. But since that's a completely different channel, I'm not sure this isn't some sort of child slave labor producing this one.
 
I just observed this "Finger Family" thing in the wild. After work, I stopped at an IHOP for a quick bite, and a few tables away, I overheard some parent(s) entertaining their kid with one of those videos via a tablet or smartphone. Fortunately the tablet/phone was set to some randomized playlist of children's youtube videos, so my ears were not incessantly raped by that obnoxious tune while I waited for my order.
 
I really don't care for these videos, I just want the "why".
Why do parents let their kids watch this? Who deemed this appropriate for children? Who is mass-producing these videos? How do MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of children come across these videos and these videos only?
I have so many questions that will never be answered because nobody gives enough of a fuck.

Hopefully there is a God after death and I can ask him "what the hell man?".
