I regularily see shady ads as well. This is the actual outrage IMO. Before going off and create a corporate censorship network, they should at least apply some "standars" to what they let through on the ad side.
But I guess it is all too late. The Circle proofs to be a pretty prophetic book.
- joelmichael 6y agoI subscribe to Youtube Premium. It's handy if you use Youtube a lot and dislike ads.
- bryan0 6y agoI agree but ideally I do not want to log in to youtube.
- mlang23 6y agoUsing this threads sidearm to promote YouTube Premium is pretty much beside the point. I wasn't trying to emphasis my particular dislike for ads. In fact, if the ad is haflway decent, or even interesting, I dont mind getting the occassional ad, especially since I see it as a way of supporting the actual channel owners. What I object to, and in particular in the context of this posting, is that I regularily see ads which never would make it through on more local media. Some of these are outright scams. And I wonder, what is the difference between someone spreading "misinformation" on their channel, and someone else paying YouTube to spread "information" which will ultimately be used to scam the user. Also, YouTube has channel which upwards of 1 mio subscribers which only consist of pirated content. I truely wonder how these slip through the cracks.
- runarberg 6y agoI never see ads on YouTube. I think my ad blocker is sufficiently good at blocking them for me. You deserve better then to be shown ads.
- bryan0 6y agoYes I totally agree. In this case I was using the ios app so ad blockers do not apply and I was also using YT without being logged in. I need to find a better solution for this.
