Example Comment to the FTC:

Please reconsider and clarify the new COPPA rules on YouTube content creators. Turning off personalized ads and forbidding comments on family friendly content will mean all my favorite channels may disappear. YouTube is a great place to watch all sorts of interesting videos on every topic under the sun and to feel part of a community. Comments let me participate and I like being part of that. As for personalized ads, I’m fine with them because they show me appropriate products that I might actually be interested in and they help support the fantastic people making my favorite videos. It’s a win win. Ads are going to play in front of videos anyway, let’s make them count.

I also believe parents and adults should have the right to decide what to watch and what to allow their children to watch and don’t need the federal government to do this for them. It especially doesn’t make sense to punish and discourage family friendly content. Don’t we want to promote it instead?

Example Parent Comment to the FTC:

Please reconsider and clarify the new COPPA rules for YouTube content creators. As a parent, I have watched many entertaining and informative family friendly videos with my child on YouTube. There’s a video and a community out there for almost every topic under the sun. Surprisingly some of my child’s favorite channels are not specifically children’s channels but fall under the family friendly umbrella. I enjoy watching these videos with my child. And yes, there are personalized ads but I don’t mind them.

YouTube is a marvelous resource. However if family friendly content is penalized by turning off personalized ads and comments, very few creators will be left who can afford to make videos. I foresee a YouTube that is almost exclusively dark, mature, and violent. Surely this is discouraging the very people we want to promote!

Please think this over carefully and don’t put our favorite channels out of business. Instead maybe encourage YouTube to expand and promote YouTube Kids, consider a rating system for videos like movies have or ask YouTube to pay more to family friendly creators to make up for the lost revenue from targeted ads.
