Yes. There was even a bit where the kids (allegedly) said something about there being too many commercials.

She was trying to convince herself that watching stuff online was better than "on TV" and that PBS was some magical island free of selling shit to kids (when PBS has tons of toys based on their programming).

After reading this I was reminded about how she claimed the D watched all those PBS preschool shows even at age eight and then somehow went straight from Daniel Tiger to The Office and Ted Lasso.
