Wouldn't doubt it if they did market to kids. TV networks did it for decades, every Saturday morning, with no FCC challenges.

PBS had services for children as well. Were Bert and Ernie or Mr. Rogers 'addictive'? I have no idea what YT for children is like, but I wouldn't have handed my kids over to them to babysit without checking them out ... frequently. Corporations exist for one purpose. Will government stop them?

I don't think these corporations deliberately aimed their content at any age group.

... you do realize you are a clown person, right?

Do you do this often, just a total 180 flip on your position, and then just move on as if that isn't what happened?

And you go blathering on about some new thing that should be focused on, no acknowledgement that in about 1 hr of other people giving you basic, basic relevant facts to what you are claiming, that you are completely wrong?

You're talking out your ass, you're just saying things, having not the first clue what you are talking about.

Please, stop.

You are embarassing yourself.
