This is a very sad statistic. I cannot imagine what this non-stop television consumption is doing to their brains. I am guessing this does not include the tablet screen time which is another 3 hours per day or so.
I accidentally watched some TV the other day. Having not seen any regular programming for at least a year, I was amazed at how much ... dumber it has become. Also, why did we sit through so many commercials for so long? It feel a little like a twilight zone episode, where we sit there watching a box telling us what to buy.
Also, kids are consuming a lot of highly effective YouTube ads.

It saves adults too.
Sure, an adult might switch channels during a commercial but your time is still wasted because now you're filling the gap with random surfing rather than consuming the content you're interested in.
It honestly surprises me at how cable providers managed to exist for so long without getting a backlash from its customers.
A 1 hour show on American TV typically only has 42 minutes of actual content. The other 18 minutes are filled with commercials.
You are losing 30% of that 1 hour off your life, not only that but you're paying a premium to receive it. After removing special promo prices even basic cable from most major providers is a lot more expensive than streaming services.
Sounds great but the sad reality is that Netflix shows have commercials inside of them. I was really excited about this netflix show "love" until the macdonalds product placement inside of it just made me sick and i stopped watching it. I haven't been watching much original netflix shows since then, but whenever i feel like peeking into a new show i notice product placements pretty soon.
ALL shows have product placement. Some more blatant than others. You can't get around that.

Then they could take over, and make parents much happier.
Maybe even happy enough to pay an extra $1.99 a month for trustworthy content curation?
