Baffling to me how advertising to those without a stable source of above living-cost income is allowed in the first place. Let alone advertising to children.

How do you select for "those without a stable source of above living-cost income?

They still get stuff though. Daytime advertising for toys is basically aimed at kids' birthday / christmas wishlists, pocket money, etc. If you add it up, that's hundreds of whatever your currency is per year across birthdays, gift giving holidays, and family / extended family.
