Agreed. It's also extremely lucrative, and far predates the Internet. Manipulating kids is one of the most lucrative things a business can do, because getting the kids to ask the parents to buy something is far far more effective than even a close friend suggesting they buy something.
- zeroonetwothree 4y ago99% of what I buy my kids based on their requests is not from ads. It’s stuff like they see an ice cream shop or whatever. (I guess you could consider that a form of ad) I think they are exposed to far less ads than I was actually because TV ads are mostly gone. I never hear them asking for some random toy like the kind I remember from my youth.
