YouTube is a video sharing platform and the place your child is actively getting introduced to porn from. They are also known to intentionally make their website worse just so that people can have something to complain about.

YouTube was created in 2004 as a dating website before later being changed to a video sharing platform after its founders started using their brains. The oldest YouTube video is "Me at the zoo" by jawed, one of YouTube's founders. The platform was later bought out by Google for $1.65b in November 2006. YouTube's popularity would spike around this time, with some of the first YouTubers starting their channels around this time.

YouTube Rewind / The removal of Dislikes
YouTube Rewind is a tradition YouTube kept from 2010 to 2019 where they would invite a bunch of YouTubers to perform trends that happened during the year. This tradition was originally seen with support from the YouTube audience, but that started changing around 2016 as YouTube Rewinds only started to feel more and more disconnected from the YouTube community. This all culminated in YouTube Rewind 2018, which ended up bombing so hard it became the most disliked video on all of YouTube. YouTube Rewind 2019 does not exist.
It is widely considered that the action to remove the amount of dislikes visible on a video was directly caused by YouTube having the most disliked video on their platform.
YouTube Shorts
Find the page on Short-Form content here.
YouTube Shorts is YouTube's answer to Short-Form content, with it having become one of the most widely-used forms of social media of all time (~90 billion views per day). YouTube has since intentionally made the Long-Form content scene more difficult and annoying to use in an attempt to get YouTubers to move to Shorts.
