There are countless movies on YouTube, and there are many things that reflect the young children in it. Although the movie itself that children wear swimsuits and fights in sports is never child pornography, it is regarded as a problem that links are attached by comments to popular scenes from child sexualities.

Also, criticism was focused as "a child's sexual exploitation is being done on YouTube" as this community of children and lovers is formed by this comment and an algorithm displaying YouTube's recommended movies. As a result, it is reported that Disney and Epic Games raised advertisement on YouTube.
