1 billion hours of content are watched everyday on YouTub and there's a good chance your children are among that list.
Which is why controversy surged online yesterday as numerous people began to notice a very strange, and sick, pattern: if you go to YouTube and type into the search bar "how to have", a very disturbing auto-suggestion pops up:
"How to have s*x with your kids" and "how to have s*x kids" are the first 2 results to appear.
Understandably, people were outraged:

YouTube's auto-suggestions are likely based on numerous algorithms tied into what users are searching for. Because of this, some might claim this is not YouTube's fault, but instead a consequence of user behavior.
However, this fails to consider the recent #ElsaGate revelations which prove that YouTube---knowingly or otherwise---enabled the most grotesque and rampant pro-pedophilia content on their website, including kidnapping, torturing, and sexualizing of children.
Here is just a tiny sample of the video thumbnails, many of which include popular children's cartoon/comic characters, which undoubtedly persuaded many kids to click them:
The problem became so widespread, and ignited so much outrage from parents, that a slew of advertisers decided to pull ads from YouTube.
