I would intuitively estimate that about 15% of educational youtube videos are sponsored by Squarespace.
- enigmatical 9y agoCooking channels, too.
- petepete 9y agoAnd just about every photography channel.
- zitterbewegung 9y agoActually I would estimate 15% of all youtube videos are sponsored by Squarespace.
- samwillis 9y agoI think google has just profiled you (and me, and everyone else on HN)... We go on web-dev related and business start up websites, and google is watching us.
- kaniskode 9y agoMaybe, but I've also heard ads for Squarespace on terrestrial radio.
- snug 9y agoThese are not Google ads, but the creator sponsorships
- ISL 9y agoWhich is analogous to squarespace targeting.
- afarrell 9y agoSadly no. The ads I get are largely for things I don't want. Occasionally they are good or interesting, but usually no. I wish more ad providers had a way to say "please show me more ads like this." Better yet, I wish there was one that had a box where I could just type random complaints about my life and over time it would show me ads for products that might be relevant.
- derefr 9y agoGoogle says they explicitly don’t use web-browsing data for ad targeting. They don’t say that they don’t use web-browsing data to improve your experience with their various recommendation/prediction/autocomplete APIs. So there’s no guarantee that bad ad targeting implies YouTube doesn’t have a better profile on you.
- polyomino 9y agoI’m order to square these requirements, they would just have to use your browsing data to target you with the version of the instructional video which always plays relevant ads to you
- eudora 9y agoIn Australia, Squarespace is running ads maybe 5 times a night with Keanu Reeves. And that's on one channel I've noticed. Must be a huge budget.
