> Yt kids still show ads

Isn't that illegal in many areas? In the EU you basically can't target ads towards kids.

That being say: YouTube Kids is generally terrible and there's little reason to prefer it over the regular YouTube.

How are toys advertised to children in the EU?

They aren't, more or less. Rules might be interpreted differently in different countries, but I think it mostly correct.

What you can do is create something like Paw Patrol. The show is a product in its own right, but really it's a massive ad for their line of toys. You can also get catalogs from toy stores, I don't know if they are allowed to mail them out, or if they don't do it because of cost.
