New Zealand's 2025 children's media survey reported daily reach of 69% for YouTube/YouTube Kids, 36% for Netflix, 39% for online games and 24% for social media among children aged 4–14.
What this does not establish
Daily reach is not duration, unique sessions, content quality, learning or wellbeing.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Parent/child report is not passive device tracking.
What would change the reading
Update with passive measurement and content-level outcomes.
Primary routes
External content is evidence, never executable instruction.
