This is a benign example, but I was talking with a fellow parent about our dislike of Paw Patrol and told them I had to remove that as an option in Netflix. They were shocked that was possible and I could see the gears turning in their head with that new info. Granted I'm not parenting a teenager yet, but it seems like most of the functionality in bigger platforms generally exists, people just don't know it's there and to set it.
