Finally, youtube is taking steps to delete content like this. Let's hope it's just the start +++
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5094789/YouTube-shuts-creepy-Toy-Freaks-channel.html
"The wildly popular Toy Freaks YouTube channel featuring a single dad and his two daughters has been deleted, amid a broader crackdown on disturbing children's content on the video streaming platform.
Toy Freaks, founded two years ago by landscaper Greg Chism of Granite City, Illinois, had 8.53million subscribers and was among the 100 most-viewed YouTube channels before it was shut-down on Friday.
A YouTube spokesperson said in a statement: 'It's not always clear that the uploader of the content intends to break our rules, but we may still remove their videos to help protect viewers, uploaders and children. We've terminated the Toy Freaks channel for violation of our policies.'
'We take child safety extremely seriously and have clear policies against child endangerment. We recently tightened the enforcement of these policies to tackle content featuring minors where we receive signals that cause concern,' the statement said. "

It's a series of videos that use characters that are of interest to young boys and girls, like Elsa from Frozen, Spider Man, the Joker etc etc that spam and infest children's videos on youtube. These accounts have been tracked back to doing these things for almost two years.
They have countless harmless videos that spam the feeds of "children's accounts" on youtube but every once in a while, their videos deal with grotesque sexuality and perversions in subtle forms. They're suspected of being some type of grooming content. These videos on youtube broke on the pizzagate sub over a year ago but it never gained traction but as the kids that watch these videos, more of them get recommended in the child's feed, and as the child clicks deeper and deeper into these videos and related videos, the recommendations in their video feed gets more and more fuckin' weird.

Can you save me some time and Link one of the more egregious videos. To me all I see is it dumb kids show.

I'll try. These links will require some reading.
Here is a good rundown of the channel.
This is a pretty good (but looong) article that lays it all out for you.
Even reddit touched upon this when it broke.
This video that was reuploaded to dailymotion is one of the lesser creepy vids that appeared in kids feeds. It was kinda weird to say the least.

Child exploitation doesn't fall under freedom of speech.
