But please don’t subject your children to commercials.

They don’t need temptation to eat/get garbage thrust upon them by high production value propaganda from giant corporations

Seriously, I don’t pay for YouTube premium but I absolutely would if I had children. That plus PiHole and a browser ad blocker.

Youtube premium with kids pays for itself in the reduced spending/whining for things they saw on ads. Embedded advertising is another thing entirely. SponsorBlock is the way to go there.

Let’s not forget, though, that parents can be mouthpieces of propaganda too—religion, bigoted views, even preference for certain brands produced by giant corporations.

Yes so lets hand our kids over to advertisers and the state, that's always worked out wonderfully.
