> I imagine it's hard for busy parents to police the commercials the children sees

I hear things like this a lot. It's not hard, it just takes time. Is it hard to make that time? If it is too hard to make time to do something with your kids that you yourself think is important, you have to reconsider your priorities.

If you didn't plan appropriately, and decided to have kids before realizing the effort required, then you need to do some risk-reward analysis and determine which things you "have time" to pay attention to and which you don't.

Again, not hard, just time consuming. Time and interest will make sure your kids are well adjusted (well, at least as well adjusted as their parents).

My issue with this (I don’t have kids) is that the people with the least time are the poor. They’re chronically busy, and so taking the time to keep your kids off of this stuff is a privilege not everyone can enjoy.

Not providing access to YouTube is pretty low effort. Providing supervised access is harder, sure.
