Tell them to go onto the YouTube kids website or the app and make a kids account. It doesn't have ads and that show is on there.
Enshittification
What is enshittification?
The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source
The lifecycle of Big Internet
We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.
Embrace, extend and extinguish
We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.
Capitalism is all scams now, man. Been that way for a while. Even the top dogs are all committing fraud and are above the law. Its not gonna get better, it will always get worse for profits.
They all finally figured out that government moves slower than they can fuck the consumer

You seem to forget that not all advertising is targeted. Some is just general market advertising and will play everywhere.
It's cheaper because it's not targeted, but also can be a better option depending on what you're trying to market and who you're trying to reach. It also means the ads will play to people who don't care as a side effect.
Untargeted advertising is a waste of money with todays technology
Not at all. It just depends on who you're trying to reach. If your target demo isn't very specific, you could get many more views at a lower cost.
If your product is only relevant to 18-35 year olds then that's probably not a good idea. But if your target demo is basically anyone, then general marketing works well. A Nissan Leaf has a much larger potential market than an Audi E-Tron for instance.
You can also have separate targeted marketing to ensure specific demos get more focus or have specific targeted variations of the ad campaign.
If an ad falls in the woods and there’s nobody there to see it…
If it's an Android TV -> SmartTube
The ads aren't for the kids, they're for the parents and grandparenta that put their toddlers in front of YouTube.
Like, what are they really going to advertise to a toddler?
Don't childrens' TV shows have ads?
To buy houses and cars and cruises and such?
