Above is one of my 2 year old nephew’s favourite channels. He watches them everyday. For his parents who work from home, it’s the greatest thing. If an ad comes up, he cries and they know something is up.

However, they are clicking the ok button on the TV far too often per video cause of this.

They run that 90+ sponsored content so frequently it’s become crap. I’ve seen Land Rover ads, the one above is a house, and the most annoying is when they run other cartoons like Thomas the Tank Engine or something. If the kid wanted that, no problem. But right now the singing cats are his jam. Cars, property? Someone is paying actual money to get ads in front of 2 year old kids?

Tell me this isn’t a scam.

    This.

    Parent comes, sees the content isn’t what the kid should be watching, presses OK and goes back to work. They don’t watch the ad. They have mental filters setup cause they left their kid watching singing cats and if it isn’t singing cats, they move on.

      I’m all with you there but clearly some people are stupid enough to fall for it.

      Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.
