I have read a lot that especially on YouTube, there are some channels targeting directly to children as they are gaining viewers from other children. They are making advertising contracts with companies. If a child wants something, his or her parents feel the need to make the child happy. If the child believes that a certain item will make him or her happy, then parents want to buy that thing. Through those YouTube channels, advertisers directly target children and try to benefit from their focus. I don't know.

One significant shift would be revitalization […]
