Many kids have no idea what commercials are, thanks to Netflix. Exstreamist recently surveyed 100 parents and found 82% in Netflix-only homes say their kids (under 10-years-old) don’t know what a commercial is, compared to 38% in homes with regular TV. One respondent commented, “Our two young daughters have probably seen fewer than 10 commercials in their lives, we pretty much only stream kids shows on Netflix and Hulu,” while another said, “I think my kids like the ads, which I know sounds terrible, but they love watching toy commercials on YouTube on the iPad, go figure.” (The Independent, Exstreamist)
