By kids I meant teens.

Regardless, I've noticed the same thing on YouTube, they really need to fix that. Why are you running an add for car insurance on a video obviously geared towards children? I mean, why are you advertising at all on videos clearly geared towards children.



10 years of growing up watching gocompare or "compare the market" adverts means when they do turn 17 they'll instinctively know where to go for their cheap car insurance without a second thought.


Oh I know. It's still fucked up.


With some of them it's based on the fact that your child doesn't have his or her own account, and likely they're advertising to you.

Are you saying toys, video games, and movie trailers for children should not be advertised to children? To who then, to their parents?
