>Now there’s another reason to pay for Netflix: do it for the kids.
>Children in “Netflix-only” homes are saved from more than 230 hours of commercials per year compared to those with traditional television packages, the independent entertainment news and information website Exstreamist found in a report published on Tuesday.
>Exstreamist came up with that figure by analyzing National Institute of Health data revealing that kids watched an average of 2.68 hours of television daily, and in some cases, up to a whooping nine hours. Children in homes with tablets and child-friendly computers logged an additional hour of screen time each day. A typical hour of television includes 14.25 minutes worth of commercials, or about 24 percent. So kids watching TV would be losing about 9.6 days per year to commercials, the website calculated.
>One benefit for parents is not having to worry about kids seeing repetitive advertisements for sugar-packed cereals or toys.
>Of note, though, is that the health institute study Exstreamist cited was from mid-2015 and concluded that excessive TV viewing by children “has been linked to a range of adverse health and behavioral outcomes such as obesity and overweightness which in turn may cause increased risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other metabolic diseases, some cancers, depression and various sleeping difficulties and decreased sleep length.”

Over here the state broadcaster kid's programmes has no ads so Netflix isn't innovative in that regard.
Inb4 "state propaganda" even if there was, there were no sugar filled crap and shitty toys being pushed via Jewish adverts.

Too bad Netflix doesn't offer quality content and pushes blatant propaganda.

Fucking finally, TV advertising has gone too far. You pay for cable only to have your programs constantly interrupted by idiotic ads.
I remember watching The Simpsons on Fox as a kid and hating every time adds started would come up because it was like 5 minutes of trash I couldn't care less for non-stop . It was a fucking torture.

Doesn't that record the commercials? Even if you can fast forward, chances are you'll still catch a glimpse of the brand's logo and it'll be processed through your brain, leaving a neuro-psychological impression on you.

Paranoid much? Also, don' know how it is today, but there was a time when recorders could differentiate the signal of the actual program and the ad-break and thus record without the ads.

Netflix is owned and created by Marc Bernays Randolph, a great grandson to Edward Bernays who pioneered the use of propaganda, renamed to public relations for the purpose of mass manipulation in a consumer society. Among other things, he is the reason why feminist fought for the right to smoke cigarettes. Everything that Netflix produces is made to brainwash you. The documentary The Century of the Self describes Edward Bernays work.
shit fuck i just posted a pic of myself how do i delete it admins help!!
Henry Fisher
netflix needs to be classified as a cult.
Charles Powell
I learned to never trust adverts because I saw them and asked my dad about them, who told me every time that they're a scam, and to never trust anything said in any commercial, and that there was always a catch. I feel like you have to see a few of them as a kid so you learn never to trust them or any promises they make, naive people who don't know better tend to believe them.
Elijah Garcia
He's actually a grand-nephew to Edward Bernays and Sigmund Freud.
Just because you share a family tree with someone doesn't mean you agree with their views. L. Ron Hubbard's own great-grandson is one of Scientology's most vocal opponents.
You can set it to a kids mode and parents can easily be responsible and check what their kids are watching. But I'm sure that's the Jews fault too and we need to be seeing more adverts.

An ideal home should have no TV or internet. Televisions are for the occasional movie, and the internet is for research. Media alienates us from one another, and this is true especially of children.

Bentley Fisher
I beg to differ.
The Internet has led to greater democratization of knowledge. It dethroned the MSM as the sole gatekeepers of information. It has made it harder for dictatorships to censor and control the information their civilians see. WikiLeaks and other sources of leaked information wouldn't exist without the internet.

Let me catch my breath here that was really hilarious
Jose Jackson
Anyone else brains just completely block out ads at this point? I've seen so many commercials in my life that somewhere down the line the brain just decided to stop listening and think about other shit when there's an ad playing. The ol' brain even filters out sound during commercial time

Being anti-ads is like being anti-vaccines, how do you expect your kids to survive if they don't develop the antibodies to fight the ads? If you give netflix to your kids might as well go full alex jones and go anti vaccine
Cameron Morales
It really was different back them. Gatekeepers might keep some interesting people at bay, but they also keep the crazy masses at bay too. The rise of pop feminism and the #metoo phenomenon are a direct result of impressionable young girls having access to the internet.
James Ramirez
true, but it also fucking destroyed our society, along with post-columbine and 9/11 paranoia, and the effects of the unfettered neoliberal capitalism of the 90s (NAFTA leading to deindustrialization of large parts of the country, etc.)
Charles Cook
I don't know if that's true. I didn't realize how horrible ads were until I stopped watching normal television for a couple years
Juan Stewart
You're not alone, I'm instantly repulsed by anything I see advertised and haven't bought a single thing as a result of advertising
I find it hard to believe that people are so dumb as to actually buy things because they saw it on TV

It was worse back then. You're apparently just blind to it. You are correct when it comes to interpersonal relationships but completely wrong when it comes to information.
Pic related is how easy it was to convince everyone that le evil nazis had human skin lampshades and human soaps. Nowadays they wouldn't be able to pull this shit off, simply because of the internet.
Nathan Lee
The accuracy of your historical knowledge is significantly less important than the relationships you're able to form in your day-to-day life. I'd rather live in a world where access to primary sources takes much more effort than live in a world where friendship and monogamy have been diluted and subverted by the internet.
David Sanchez
>where friendship and monogamy have been diluted and subverted by the internet. And how has the internet done this?
Thomas Bailey
Fine that's a respectable opinion that I don't agree with. However, saying that the internet started false narratives is just outright ridiculous and the one thing I had a problem with on your first post.
The internet is not the problem but the values of society that gradually switched post ww2 to self-hatred, ironically this would probably never have happened if the internet was around back then so you're being very short-sighted as to what really is causing the harm here
Hudson Bailey
When I was a kid I don't think I was allowed to watch even 230 fucking hours of tv a year. Go outside for fucks sake.
Landon Ward
The corrosion of values come from opportunities being exploited so often that they become common and people genuinely forget how subversive they're being. Just like it was easier for the world to condemn pornography when pornography was harder to come by, or easier to live in a world where fornication was condemned before the invention of birth control. Marxists are right about how values are eroded by material circumstances, not the collective will of the masses.
Julian Sullivan
Completely disagree. Values eroded because of the belief that we are guilty of the sins of our fathers (slavery, lolocaust, etc) and we somehow have to atone because humans are a "virus" on this planet. I would much quickly blame the post ww2 propaganda for this, the decay of religious values and family values, or the hippie movement or atheism or grunge than I would the internet. Ideologies and belief are way stronger than whatever material circumstances arise. Anyway, this is a Sup Forums conversation.
Josiah Harris
No, if anything it's the opposite Just look at modern kids commercials, it's pure ADHD, made as obnoxious and intrusive as possible. Loud, flashing lights, bright colors
Samuel Kelly
If values are so weak that they cannot stand unless people are kept in a state of perpetual ignorance or info on alternatives/criticism is heavily limited we have problems far larger than the internet because you can criticize the printing press (harder to mass produced porn without one) or even literacy the same way.
Ryder Garcia
Kids don't learn how to deal with ads. They grow up with it without anybody telling them that ads are, well, ads. Even adults don't know it, don't forget how manipulative they are. They're made with people like you and me in mind as well
Andrew Clark
Any value can be subjugated by a long-enough campaign of propaganda.
Benjamin Myers
Guilt is the ethical heart of Judeo-Christian societies. The idea of original sin is inherent to Western culture, it's not the result of WWII propaganda. I think you're just confusing effect for cause. The hippie movement came on the heels of the invention of birth control, the widespread synthesization of LSD, and propagation of rock and roll imagery on the relatively new invention of television. Those material factors eroded the moral values. Why care about premarital sex if I could just take birth control or have an abortion? Why care about the importance of a sound, objective mind when drugs are fun and really easy to come by? If something pleasurable is easy to come by and its negative effects aren't immediate, then it's going to become popular. Access is everything.
Aiden Gray
>Access is everything. If this was true there wouldn't be numerous studies detailing the vast ignorance of the public despite having access to more information than ever before and the mere introduction of libraries would be enough to get large numbers of people into classical literature.
Lucas Bell
You can, and people have. Most historians blame Gutenberg for all of the European religious violence prior to the Enlightenment. The difference is that printed materials are public in ways that the internet isn't. They leave a literal paper trail, and it's difficult to mass-produce something troubling without a lot of money. The internet takes the post-Gutenberg problems of the invention of printing, and turns them up to 11.
Joseph Wright
those wacky commercials during saturday morning cartoons was one the few joys of my youth.
Hudson Martinez
>Most historians blame Gutenberg for all of the European religious violence prior to the Enlightenment. Like who? I would honestly like to know.
Adrian Jones
Only happens for shitty shows.
Jaxson Martin
How does that disprove what I said? People don't read difficult works because they're difficult. My point is that ease is the roadblock. If it's easy for someone to do something that they like doing, then many people are going to do it regardless of whether or not it conflicts with their moral compass.
Anthony Clark
>letting your children watch TV Le shiggy donatello
Grayson Miller
>The idea of original sin is inherent to Western culture, it's not the result of WWII propaganda.
Yes but it doesn't necessarily imply guilt or at least not on the absurd level that we've been subjected to, post ww2. After all, Jesus died for our sins and all that.
>The hippie movement came on the heels of the invention of birth control, the widespread synthesization of LSD, and propagation of rock and roll imagery on the relatively new invention of television. Those material factors eroded the moral values.
While you do have a point I believe it's much more than that. I believe that what's at the foundation of that movement is that nature knows best and that we humans are flawed I mean look at us always fighting first the Holocaust now Vietnam, it's hopeless. Sucumb to nihilism and let Nature take its course. That's the message of the hippie movement and it's based on the guilt-trip I mentioned before.
I agree with what you're saying but I believe the true cause for what's been happening is much deeper than the invention of LSD or the pill or porn magazines. If the guilt factor never kicked in and we were proud of who we are, proud of our families and our nations then I don't believe that these things would be an issue at all. After all, your perspective doesn't explain why some people stay away of these things now does it? It's because their perspective is different than those who have been brainwashed into hating themselves.
