There is a kids' channel called Ryan's Toy Reviews that branched out into Christmas surprise gifts this year, at £50 and all sold out. We had to ban the channel at that point.

I remember my son crying and telling me "but I miss it..." when I told him he couldn't watch that channel anymore. It's like a bunch of toy commercials, but I think kids also feel some connection to Ryan, which is what makes the channel work.
I don't get it, but she enjoys it. As much as I hate to admit, I'm sure I've been sucked into some tech or office product in a similar fashion.
