>> .. and guys like chuchu know how to game the recomendation algorithms to keep the kids within their content.

Just curious, what stops other competitors like Disney, Sesame Street and Nickelodeon from doing the same thing?

My guess is that they just don't care, they have no need to join the ranks of bottom-feeders.
Western media has sort of an honor code not to engage in such actions. We traditionally prefer people to find our creative works because it's good and high quality, not because we gamed some algorithm.

That being said, it's entirely possible for someone outside of these organizations to start something like Chu Chu TV in the United States. However, it would probably face harsher criticism.

Thats just a dense comment. Disney and others have no worthwhile content for that particular age kids on youtube.
