Based on our record, Minitube should be more popular than YouTube Kids. It has been mentiond 5 times since March 2021. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
Also there is featured YouTube Kids content like PragerU Kids and the upcoming DailyWire Kids. I'm sure that just like PragerU Kids, when DailyWire Kids launches it will be featured content on the YouTube Kids app. Gotta start the right wing indoctrination at the earliest age possible via kid friendly platforms like the YouTube Kids app. Source: about 2 years ago
