Are kids these days even sensitive to “edgy” marketing anymore?

Yes, but they would recognize this as cringe, not edgy. There's not even any swearing or porn!

No. My kids loathe ads - to the point that they would rather do anything but watch shows with ads, including watching other shows or watching Instagram/TikTok instead of(which have ads but don't "feel" like ads to them).

Conversely, my kids get upset with me when I skip past ads. "Hey! I wanted to see that", I hear.

It's quirky at best.
