It’s very easy to get kids to break habits.

With streaming balkanized into so many individual providers, it's hard to pay for more than a couple.

So the Grandson has learned to discriminate ads from content, and as soon as an ad comes one, we all chorus, "Stinky Ad!" and then everyone rushes to be the first person to get to the remote and skip it.

It's not a perfect solution, but it's what we have.

Rip with yt-dlp into Plex or Jellyfin server.

Here a potential “nice” lesson: teach them to leave behind something they like. Now, that takes something (even for adults)

I don't pay. First they learned how to use mute button on rc, then they stopped using YT because of too many ads.
