True, if I look at my own kids. The eldest doesn't use their PS5, the PC is connected to the big screen. The middle one only uses their PS4 Pro to watch Youtube.

All gaming is done on PC.

Us parents are console gamers only so it's definitely not influencing on our side.

Sounds painful to watch YouTube on a console primarily, unless paying for Premium although then you still get to watch sponsorships.

Even ignoring the ads, I'd be surprised if the interface wasn't at least frustrating

Oh you're absolutely right we're on Premium. Youtube is absolutely horrible without.

Works fine on PC with an ad blocker and at least there you aren't relying on YouTube keep any promises.

My 7yo is the heaviest user of our PS5 but he pretty much only plays Fortnite on it and plays everything else on his switch.

I think the convenience of switch and mobile games are something that todays kids have that we really didn’t have and that’s why Netflix is saying this.
