Not really. If you spend some time watching youtube with your kid you will
see lots of weird and creepy stuff and kids still like to watch it. One of
my daughters favorites is the skeleton dance by Disney. That is all black
and literally has skeletons dancing in a graveyard. Halloween songs are
also big business for youtube kids.

Another channel leokimvideos does a lot of creppy stuff with spiders and
bugs and he has over a billion views. He is also a youtube millionaire
now.

It's not mandatory. I don't have a problem with using other background
colors. It is still early days hence the shoutout to ask people round here
to assist with the SEO by subscribing, sharing, linking, liking, viewing
the videos. So far we have 5 minutes of HD content and that has taken a
few months to produce and generate.

I wouldn't say no if "Kinder" offered to sponsor. However in most of Asia
and across eastern Europe "kinder" is used instead of "kindergarten".
