Netflix puts the ads directly inside the shows they control themselves. This way no adblock can censor them, and Netflix can prance around pretending they are saints for not showing ads. Example "Hey let's call an uber" says character A. "I watched X on netflix yesterday" says character B.
While I'm glad that kids in Netflix-only households aren't getting bombarded with advertisements targeted at children the way kids my age were in the 1980s, I can't help but suspect that these ad-free kids need to be exposed to some advertising in an educational context so that they learn to recognize when somebody is trying to con them into buying shit they don't need and probably didn't want in the first place.

I also recently saw this on "A million little things" there was an absolutely useless shot of a main character opening the trunk of the car with a foot wave. It was so over done and out of place.
My kids don't watch a lot of TV / screen time but when they do I want to be able to monitor it, and yet also maintain my own sanity.
400 hrs of commercials a year? How much TV are these kids watching a day?

The article claims nearly 4.5 hours per day. I find that hard to believe... I don't know any children (in my admittedly biased sample) that watch more than an hour or two.
I cannot understand that behavior. Even an hour or two a day seems like a lot for a kid to me.

7:00pm-8:00pm -- dinner with the family (during tv, possibly)
8:00pm-11:00pm -- homework + tv (mostly tv)
11:00pm-1:00am -- tv

Even including sports practice, we've cracked over five hours, and that's from when I was in grade school.
