The main worry creators have is that the FTC is the final decider whether your content is for kids or not. They say that things such as animated characters and flashy graphics can put your video in the "for kids" category regardless what you indicate the video as.

I think even more, the worry is that the YouTube algorithms are the initial deciders, and they tend to have high false-positive rates that it is then your responsibility as a creator to overturn.

Note: the way YouTube has set this up, it is the creator's legal responsibility to mark their videos appropriately, but YouTube will also be running an algorithm to automatically flag videos as a best effort approach.

Did no one see Fritz the Cat?
