Doesn’t every on-demand streaming service still have an ad-free option?

User choice in the form of multiple tiers would be ideal. I might or might not pay to remove non-creepy ads depending on how they’re presented.

At least there’s a cheap option to remove them. I’ll pay the $3/mo.

If there’s a reliable way to only be alerted to specific activity, then the parents aren’t really actively spying, in the sense that the kids still have privacy when they aren’t transgressing into prohibited space. As long as that prohibited space is reasonable (huge debate possible there of course) and the kids know about the restrictions. imo

Is this a Deviant Art ad?

fired employees that criticized him on twitter

I hope one of those employees sues him. And asks him publicly to pay their legal fees.
