It's whether YouTube really needs to be filtered by an independent service. We figure that if your kids are on the younger side of Totlol's target age range, they're not going to be watching alone, and if they're a little older, they'll be able to figure out how to get to YouTube on their own

I think you're looking at this the wrong way. It's not to "keep kids from finding bad videos". It's more of a way to tell your kids "here's a site that you can surf around on your own" and know that it is safe.

If they are going around you and getting on youtube, if told not to do so, then there's other issues at hand.

That's a good point, Allen. Looking at it that way, I can see the appeal of a site like this as a way to give kids some independence in choosing what they watch and still have some degree of oversight there. Thanks for the insightful comment.
