Summary
This was a Patreon exclusive segment that Cam Dexter used to host called Dexter's Conjectures! This is a topic that more people need to be made aware of, and an especially important episode for anyone with young children who they care about in their lives!
Back in December of 2021, Cam took us into the extremely odd and disgusting world of the little known internet phenomenon called Elsagate. YouTube Kids says that it “provides a more contained environment for kids to explore YouTube and makes it easier for parents and caregivers to guide their journey", but unfortunately their algorithm hasn't been able to block out some particularly heinous content brought to us by.... pedophiles, people with really disturbing paraphelias, internet trolls and possibly a global ring of puppet masters who want to control and severely desensitize the next generation?! Or maybe it’s just pure greed. Join us as we dive into this dark and inexplicable section of YouTube.
Check out what Cam's been up to on her website!
