Have you ever tried to place an advertisement on YouTube? Advertisers can pick and choose the kinds of videos and kinds of users they place their ads on through the interface.
This is different. This is YouTube saying "Absolutely no one may place an ad here under any circumstances." Advertisers have no say, and cannot place an ad on these videos even if they wanted to.

- ehsankia 7y agoEh, that's not entirely true, Yellow means limited ads, grey would be "Absolutely no ads". But limited is generally much less, it's advertisers that opt-in into running on all videos.

This didn't stop advertisers from pulling their ads during the adpocalypse. They pulled them because "YouTube has to do something!"
- manfredo 7y agoI think you misunderstood to point I'm making. It's very hard to train an algorithm tell whether a video is referencing LGBT content in a negative or positive light. The consequences of monetizing the former is much larger than not monetizing the latter. How advertisers select topics to advertise is not related to what I am writing about at all.
