I recently had a similar problem, browsing a reputable news site (newstatesman.com), I accidentally clicked an ad and got taken directly to a page containing explicit pornography. I complained to the site and they said they do what they can in terms of blacklisting ads, but they don't have enough time or staff.
I can't believe there's no ad network that will take a stand against abusive advertising and actually vet the ads on their network. Surely they could get a lot of business and at least a lot of goodwill. Is it just too labour intensive?
- moron4hire 10y agoYou would think some of the most profitable companies in the world could afford to hire a few interns to put eyes on any and all ads before they go out.
- anowlcalledjosh 10y agoIf you mean the sites that display ads, that's not how they work - ad companies bid on ad spaces as the page is requested.
- moron4hire 10y agoThey could still afford to Mechanical Turk the hell out of that.
- poooogles 10y ago>hire a few interns to put eyes on any and all ads before they go out. They do, all creatives are audited on submission. You can't provide literally ANY creative at bid time, it has to be one that's been audited. It's people that then switch the creative once the audit has been completed that are screwing everyone. It should result in you being banned from the network, but it's hard (apparently) to ban people that are paying the bills for you the ad network.
