Good news for tired parents who want to lie to their children about when the new year starts: Netflix is here for you.
The streaming service has six different kid-themed animated countdowns to the "new year," which can now begin any time you want it to, even right now:
Netflix did this last year, too, but with only one option. Apparently it was successful enough to offer multiple choices, but the advice we gave then still holds!
Put it on whenever. Put it on every day and try to convince your kids time is rapidly moving forward to the 2300s. Why not?
Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
