      “American website full of American content” is the hard-hitting journalism we need.

      There’s an epidemic of British kids saying flashlight, and elevator.

      Im an expat of the world, my kid can’t get any BBC Kids program because it’s Geolocked behind the BBC iPlayer. The Internet is the world and the BBC isn’t being competitive unless they can partner or sell their content outside of the UK broadcasting.

      I can get my kid on YT Kids and none of them are BBC Kids related except Peppa Pig, which has its own channel.

      Peppa Pig is the only British item available whilst most western world (US/Canada/Australia) puts their preschool kids content on YT and YT Kids.

      When Peppa Pig and Mr Bean are the only British-ness pushed for young kids on YT, also Octanauts is on Netflix, is it any wonder why we are losing the content race?

      FYI, we get more reading content from the BBC on Amazon Kids, but the accent, and nuance in how we speak is lost only in words that sounds American / Canadian in my kid’s head (Tuh-MAY-toes)

      Edit: Just went on YT to see if they’ve done anything more since my kid is in Minecraft phase now. BBC Kids, content oldest is 7 months ago, latest a day ago. Channel joined YT in 2019, with only 5M total views.

      My kid grew up through the Pandemic and now into *big school* and Peppa Pig is the only big one tells you how poor BBC are doing on that front of trying to compete with British content. Push for regulation to compete in a world platform will just make them a big content niche only within the UK Internet sphere.

      Edit 2: Cbeebies is doing better. However their popular content pushed from there is still Bluey (Australian), which then feeds more Bluey content from their own channel.

      I solve this tricky problem by not letting my children on YouTube

      > Lisa Nandy, and the regulator Ofcom have indicated they want public service broadcasters to be given more prominence on YouTube. Nandy warned in a recent speech: “If we need to regulate, we will.”

      Regulate it how? How is Nandy going to change algorithms to ensure kids are watching more “British” content?

      Also the article mentioned some rubbish about “losing our language”. How? Because of Americanisms? I dislike them as much as anybody, but maybe we should leave this job to the parents.

      I know a school teacher who had multiple kids in recent years who started primary school thinking that they lived in America because of the glut of Yank media they were fed.

      Parents who refuse to engage with their own children are a bloody scourge.

      Why are people only recognising this now. Been happening for many years prior.

      Y’all heard of Miss Apple? Same as Ms Rachel but British. Not that your kid will get an American accent either way, but if you’re fussy then you can switch.
