I think there are two types of videos - ones aimed at kids that use licensed toys and/or costumes - and ones that are cartoons for, well I'm not sure but not for kids, that use licensed characters.I can't claim to have seen them all, but really? I didn't notice anything of the sort.
This is kids watching, I would wager. My son likes watching tractor videos on YouTube, and from there he gets to Spider-Man driving tractors in GTAV mods, and from there he gets to these weird live-action Elsa/Spider-Man videos. Apparently some of them are a bit risqué too, meaning we can't really leave him alone watching any of it.

The first type are harmless and some can be kind of fun, there is one where a guy has a toy youtubamatic universe where spiderman and thomas the tank engine and the minions all interact and have adventures. Some like epictoychannel are obviously getting sponsorship/gifts from toy manufacturers. People likely don't seek them out at first, they just end up auto-playing after watching an episode of a legitimate (although generally pirated, half zoomed in and sped up) show.
The second are the reason you can't leave your kids watching peppa pig episodes on youtube in case they start auto-playing.
My little sister loves to watch YT videos on the iPad of OTHER children playing with dolls and toys.

I'm sorry the 1% have spent the last 100 years consolidating all wealth leaving the rest to fend for scraps and unable to afford a babysitterMany (unfit, usually low-income) parents use Youtube as a daycare/pacifier for their kids. They give them a tablet and just let them watch for hours on end as it keeps them quiet and the parents can focus on their errands, work, etc. There are certain keywords that parents look for when finding these videos and they happen to be the ones mentioned in OP.
Friend of mine said the same thing about his daughter. It's really interesting, and also fascinating that this wasn't capitalized on via some commercial TV channel or show, like 20 or 30 years ago... Just "Kids playing with dolls" TV.
Although come to think of it, it's not that dissimilar from 'Let's Play,' where we -- reasoned adults who like playing videogames -- watch videos of other adults play videogames that we could be playing ourselves.
My 3 year old nephew watches videos on youtube. There are tons (and I mean tons) of videos with adults dressing up as these characters and doing silly things. He likes them. It must make them bank.
Edit: Oh yeah one of those videos in the OP I have seen because of him lol
Can we burn youtube fucking plsHere's another great H3h3 video covering this phenomenon and the people who make these videos:

type in #newlunar on the search bar and its literally all cropped porn lmao
I remember many, many years ago (way before youtube monetization was possible enabling all these weird phenomenom) I was linked to a youtube video of 2 guys in Spider-Man and Venom bodysuits, with one of them getting massaged by an electric toothbrush while moaning loudly, and you could clearly see the bulge of his erect penis through the suit.
I've seen a weirder people in suit video before on YT, and I'm sparing you from hearing any of the details of itI remember many, many years ago (way before youtube monetization was possible enabling all these weird phenomenom) I was linked to a youtube video of 2 guys in Spider-Man and Venom bodysuits, with one of them getting massaged by an electric toothbrush while moaning loudly, and you could clearly see the bulge of his erect penis through the suit.
Yup. My kid always stumbles onto these, egg videos as well.
That or Sonic the Hedgehog fanfiction.[...]until children are watching videos made up of billions of random flickering images of cartoon characters a second and all of them are screaming
I fear the future.

This. This is the thing. When we were growing up the older generation hated us, thought we were crazy. Now we're adults but we think, "I was young and I still remember what it was like, I'm not going to be like gramps there and fear the youth when I'm old, they won't be weird strangers to me."
But we didn't understand. We thought we could keep track, we thought that we could understand what kids would be into. But we didn't understand what was coming and it was THIS. And it's only the beginning.
We'll be old people, and the young people who grew up on a million videos of Elsa from Frozen turning into a giant fidget spinner and crushing spiderman and dora the explorer into a bloody mess, will be so alien as to provoke feelings of confusion and fear. They'll be raised on bizarre YouTube videos of random characters made by people with barely any understanding of what makes good fiction, and they'll do the same thing and it'll refract recursively until children are watching videos made up of billions of random flickering images of cartoon characters a second and all of them are screaming

Kids.
Kids do not have ad block so all the ads play.
They clog the search engines.
It's the same with cartoons too. It might be worse.
It's exploitation and people are making bank.
Hell, kids in general are money cows.
Just look at Chris Bores AKA The Irate Gamer. He quit talking about video games so he could pose as a puppet of Steve from Minecraft and show off toys. He gets bunches of views, especially from FNAF fans. Quality doesn't matter.
I'm going to go ahead and recommend the Magic actions add-on for chrome for parents. Disable comments, auto play, recommended videos, etc....
Never seen any of these videos till now.
Old people looking at kids thinking "this young generation is fucked". Tale as old as time.
