Maybe by kids you meant 13-17...but I feel like teenagers are not exactly a demographic that never sees targeted ads (e.g. through social media, on YouTube, etc.).
(Full disclosure, I work for Roblox, but not on anything related to ads. Obviously representing just myself and not my employer.)
- NegatioN 2y ago> I feel like teenagers are not exactly a demographic that never sees targeted ads That is definitely true, but my opinion would be that they need "less ads", and not "more". That's a phase of life when most people are very suseptible to societal messaging, and form their self-image (partly?) based on it. Not all ads are created 100% equal of course, so one can only hope these ads are nice to the users.
