Because your mega advertisers (Coca Cola, Disney, et al) are being played next to scam ads. Also I think this should be a two way street. If content creators need to moderate their content lest they be slapped to death by Youtube to help the advertisers, advertisers also have a responsibility to ensure their advertisements do not cause issue for content creators and/or viewers. It's unclear who currently runs Youtube, but they have been making bad decision after bad decision. Youtube is now extremely hostile which goes against the values it once held when it first grew.

Yeah, I want to see them stop advertising on YouTube as a protest. I doubt it will happen. They only care about money and image, if image damages their money.

  Perhaps then this is really Elon planting these ads after all, to bring advertisers back to Twitter. /s

You have just a few big advertisers, but millons of scammers. Scammers can outspend big advertisers.

  That’s a good question, does someone know what the percentage of big advertiser revenue to little advertiser revenue is with google services? Big advertiser beeing a top company like Coca Cola.

    Does big Cola advertise on youtube? I haven't seen their ads at all (but since I don't drink soda maybe their profiles worked and coke isn't wasting adds on me?). Most of the big advertising plays elsewhere don't seem to be on youtube.

      I have working adblock so can't say, but this should certainly be the season for their traditional connection and image marketing... So if ads were to appear it should be now.

      Not sure about Coca Cola specifically, but we are talking more generally about well-known big advertisers.

        Both. You can't listen to traditional radio for more than 20 minutes without hearing a McDonalds ad (at breakfast time). Drinks (both soft and hard), and cars are also big spenders on advertisements. I have seen a few ads for those things on YouTube, but it isn't as constant as other forms of media.

  Taking down individual scammers is almost cost free though, whereas Disney has a lot more to spend
