Vanlife videos, cooking shows, and politics should make YouTube believe you're an adult. But hell I subscribe to gaming channels, with watching gamers play games. Will that get me labeled a child.
It's interesting that you mention the gaming thing, I've realised recently that I'm still watching the same folks I was 10 years ago, so it's really content by millennials for millennials - not a child thing like I'm used to assuming. It does come in part because if I mention YouTube to a younger person I get a blank look when I say who I watch.
I watch videos about Sierra games, nobody below the age of 30 played those
Care to share the channels? Sounds interesting.
