There are options left. You can make videos about:

retirement planning, exercises for pregnant ladies, choosing a wedding cake, using the GI bill, hair transplants, adjusting to menopause, wisdom teeth removal

"GOOGLE knowingly tracked children, marketed towards them, but somehow the FTC allowed them to transfer liability to their creators."

I do not see the the transfer here. Google would still be liable, but able to ban owners who do not properly label their channels. This would protect them of course, but not transfer liability.

The FTC specifically mentioned channel owners tracking users via third parties. I did not know that was possible. I did not see any examples referenced either. As such, channel owners cannot be liable. Correct?

After this I imagine A channel owner intentionally disabling "targeted towards kids" in order to get better CPM via personalized ads would be in violation of COPPA.

Google was fined $170 million and required to do better.

> What options am I left here? I can't make content for children of even talk about anything that might appeal to a child

Or ......... you can mark your video as targeted as children.

Not if the money you earn from it matters to you.

It's getting hard to tell where Google ends and the government begins.
