Minecraft was released in 2011 and since then has gone on to be one of the most popular video games of all time. Part of the Minecraft culture is around YouTube. Kids will want to watch the latest videos from the gamer influencers on YouTube who record walk-throughs and tutorials on how to play the game.
However, given it’s a game that both adults and children can play, parents may be concerned about the videos their young children are exposed to on YouTube when searching for Minecraft content.
