If you think that I was somehow denying that YouTube shows crypto ads, you’ve missed my point entirely. YouTube doesn’t “show a lot of crypto ads,” YouTube shows YOU lots of crypto ads.

What are you talking about? Have I offended you into talking complete nonsense?
- foobiekr 4y agoI see that you didn't reply to the part where I noted to you that it doesn't matter if they show them to _me_ and not _you_. Youtube is still running these ads, and they are skeevy as hell. Again, from a question of company ethics, what is the point of noting that it's focused on people the algorithm thinks are vulnerable? Does that somehow make it better or change the point?
- hamburglar 4y agoI'm not sure why you're being so aggressive about this. I don't claim that this makes it any better. I don't claim they're not there. I'm just making the observation that the characterization "youtube runs a lot of crypto ads" isn't really universal; it's based on who's viewing it. It's not a defense of youtube; it's an observation about its nature, neither positive nor negative. Apparently you vehemently disagree with this observation, and I'm not sure why. Please reread my original response without emotionally inferring a bunch of stuff I'm not saying and tell me whether a response of "No." is really warranted.
