And to a lesser degree there are content creators that are going to lose revenue from this, it is part of the creative industries whatever you may think of some of its output. I dunno if it would be enough to have a visible impact on growth but there will be an economic hit from it.
Banning children from YouTube seems like a bad idea. Like, I'm not going to lose sleep about Blippi or whoever losing some income, nor am I going to pretend I haven't used it to babysit my kids when I want some headspace. But there is also some very good stuff for kids on there.
Andrew Gwynne used to hand out "local business awards" which coincidentally had his picture on them but I never saw him getting a coffee at the park cafe, which I do see with Hannah Spencer
Does he think it has a watershed

It's this government all over. Rather than look at the problem and regulate tech companies smartly they pick the option that puts all the restraint on individuals and impacts them far beyond the actual scope of the issue.
Mine taught herself to make pancakes from a YouTube vid. She uses it all the time for drawing tutorials because she can pause it and replay bits. There's excellent wholesome content creators like Half Asleep Chris or Snake Discovery. There's slop there but it's not all slop.

I do not have a vast music collection, about 600 LPs, 800 CDs, 100 or so 7"s and precisely six cassettes, but I have reached the limit of the space I have to keep them. Do you think this is in any way constraining the acquisition of new ones.
God, may they all rot.
We have, at least, identified the pro-bedtime left, I guess.
