The bonus is that he doesn’t watch full-on advertisements and commercial breaks like we were forced to in the 80s when it was live TV or no TV.

I think the problem for modern youth is that there’s no way to tell what’s an ad anymore. Scrolling through TikTok or any social media will show you tons of advertisements which are not marked as advertisements.

The mainstream internet is driven by advertising. At least when I was a kid we could step out during the commercial breaks.

Too true. Fortunately my kid is too young for full blown social media, so I have a few more years to keep teaching him.
