Netflix Saves Kids from Up to 400 Hours of Commercials a Year
The last paragraph is intriguing: "We’re also curious, as children of the 90s ourselves, does a child who grew up without a continual bombardment of ads end up more susceptible to advertising later in life? Did those early days of being shown ad after ad for LIFE Cereal end up turning us all into advertising cynics? No data yet on this, but something we’ll definitely be paying close attention to in the future."<p>I'm really good at tuning out ads online after so long seeing ads everywhere, but if I was brand new to the medium and hadn't yet learned to tune them out, would I be more likely to be influenced by them?  Is that a good/bad thing?  And now that I use adblock everywhere, when I do see an ad it's more annoying.  It will be interesting to see the long-term effects going forward.
