Because parents would never ever turn on videos on Youtube for their toddlers to keep them entertained while the adults are doing whatever adults need to do, right?
Once you realize that kid content on Youtube is very valuable to parents who find it better than TV, ads aimed at adults start making sense. Because it's adults who go on Youtube to find these videos.
- seanmcdirmid 7y agoMy toddler gets very angry whenever an ad comes up. Actually, he gets angry when we take the phone away from him, it’s just not worth it to even start a video anymore (yes, he becomes content for now but at the expense of heck later). We’ve basically gone with zero screen time now and bring books to the restaurant instead.
