Heavy sexualization in ads (for an app targetted 13-17 demographic, not to mention the amount of predator behaviour in Musically pre-merge/acquisition in general) vaguely reminiscent of the "play now, my lord" times, fake X-out/buttons, incessant screaming/volume differences, abuse-esque ads (child voice begging for help + black eyes, etc)
The ads contain content that would get YouTube uploaders demonetised and suspended.
- fortyseven 8y agoEver since it popped up on my radar I've had that same associated with shady, scumbag marketing. I can't believe it's taking off, ffs...
- stevewodil 8y agoI think that "taking off" is relative. We don't really know how much they are spending on ads at the moment to get all these installs, but I can tell you it's A LOT of money. This is not organic growth, and generally paying your way to the top doesn't work long-term.
