> Long gone are the days where kids just sat in front a television and had to watch live cable TV where the parents didn't know what was coming up next.

I've seen streaming services auto-play whatever they want to push at viewers after whatever show/movie was playing ended. I imagine there are a lot of kids that end up watching things they (and their parents) didn't choose for themselves.

When it comes to ads, parents and children don't get to choose what ads they see either.
