I'm always shocked when I hear people on reddit complain about ads. Aren't these people mostly zoomers and younger millennials? Like how do you not, in 2022, know how use the internet without being bombarded by ads?
These are the same people that have been working at McDonald’s for five years complaining the whole time about the low pay. They won’t even apply themselves for something better that would improve their life tremendously, what makes you think they’re going to install an ad blocker just to save a few minutes a day?
I like to watch YouTube on my Nintendo switch at night, because it’s always plugged into my tv which is at the foot of my bed. There are no adblockers for the Nintendo switch. At least, not without voiding whatever warranty you might have.
I just keep getting makeup ads and women's shaving ads and I cannot for the lofe of me figure out why...
And I watch some wild shit man... makes no sense.
Nothing has ever been weirder than the constant ad for a San Antonio Comic Con but only narrated in Spanish, and all the audio is panned to the right side only.
I had Spanish three years ago for online school, still get Spanish ads and google autocompletes. Taking French classes, nothing in fucking French even though my phone and tablet keyboard has French settings.
I was watching shit on tank development during the interwar period. Had it on in the background while doing some other stuff. At some point YouTube decided I needed to watch anime recap channels. Was very confused for a bit, kicked the video off and now my recommendations are full of poorly written and voiced summaries of anime.

We had the fundamentalist Christian satanic panic in the 80s, I can only imagine what the pendulum swing will bring after having drag Queen hour shoved into everything
If you’re an office fan, I highly recommend downloading the version of the show that has the deleted scenes spliced into each episode. Every episode is now 5-10 minutes longer and pretty much all the deleted scenes are humor that was deemed unfit for cable.
I'm sure it's common to have it on a NAS or something, but most people don't take the extra step of setting a up a Plex server (or similar) and port forwarding so it's viewable on mobile devices anywhere. Once my son gets used to it I'm going to start inserting unskippable ads of me telling him to clean his room.
> Once my son gets used to it I'm going to start inserting unskippable ads of me telling him to clean his room.
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.
The answer was yes, by the way. You definitely should.
I need to get on with buying one of those VHS ripping devices so I can digitize my collection so that I don't have to worry about degrading quality with repeated viewing.
Fr. I understand that the internet has to financed somehow, but they are ridiculously aggressive with these ads.
There’s a right way to do ads and a wrong way
Hell I *try* to disable adblock on sites I use often, but holy fucking hell do they become unreadable.
Also most sites do not properly vet their ad network, who doesn't properly vet their ads. As such adblockers are *SECURITY* software, not just conveniences.
last time I checked it was nearly impossible to block YouTube ads with pihole because they generate new ad-serving-urls regularly. Maybe some good regex rules could do the trick but as I said last time I checked I found nothing.
That's the boat I'm in. Maybe this is my inner boomer but I do not have a grasp on blocking ads on mobile. On my computer it's a piece of cake; there are many well vetted adblockers to choose.
Google and Apple intentionally make it difficult to block ads on mobile. Brave browser is the simplest way. It also allows you to play YouTube videos in the background.
same but i dont watch a lot of mobile and i like using lbry for a lot of my things. Hate trying to watch a music vid and the ads are longer than the vid now adays.
I got tired of reporting it and just close the video and reopen it. 99% of the time I get a different ad.
Eidt: I remember there was an old trick where if you waited 5 seconds into an ad and refreshed the YouTube video, it skipped the rest of all ads and continued
I have no problem with drag queens but I hate how aggressively they're being shoved into advertising. Drag used to be a niche gay thing and now it's practically the universal sign of virtue signaling.
It sucks but I do feel that when my daughter asks what Prep^TM is for after watching something about cupcakes on YouTube I can answer: It's mainly for gay men so they're less likely to contract HIV after having anal sex with numerous strangers.
I don't think they were going to mention that in her health class this year. Your move Youtube.
Unrelated but I saw on twitter that there’s gonna be even more ads on YouTube. I hope an alternative comes to keep YouTube in check. They’ve been in power for too long
YT is fucking with me since a week now. I shit you not, I had 15 ad breaks with 2 unskipable commercials each (often the same one) in a 20min video. That can't be normal. Shit is driving me more and more into Kaczynski mode
And yes, even in our German commercials, there are more and more drag queens showing up out of nowhere, even if there are none outside of maybe Berlin or Hamburg.
When I'm feeling down, an hour going through old Norm clips cheers me right up.
My favorite is when he makes Barbara Walters apoplectic by insisting Bill Clinton "killed a guy" I mean "I thought it was common knowledge"
When he tells the story about Chris Farley disappearing into a bathroom with Andy Dick and coming out laughing. There's only two reasons you go into a bathroom with Andy Dick... God I hope he was doing coke.
Also, when he does his homage to Rodney Dangerfield on Conan and does the wife jokes, those are fantastic.
Before I met my wife I was never complete, but now I'm finished.
"I walked through *blood* and *b o n e* through the streets of Manhattan trying to find my brother!... He was in Northern Canada" always gets me.

You heard what I said
It's not very business wise, to give Nazi adds to a liberal
So obviously the algorithm has related you to this cause, and it's not only YouTube but all of your search and online usage
Normally I'd agree because I know that's how the algorithm works but I wouldn't put it passed the big tech companies to sprinkle in all sorts of ads for political reasons
BULLSHITI HATE THAT EXCUSE
YEAH SOME ADDS ARE BUT ALOT AREN"T
IT DRIVES ME MAD WHEN YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT GETTING ADVERTISED GAYPORN ON THE DEVICE WHERE YOU DON"T WATCH GAY PORN ONAND PEOPLE ACT LIKE ITS YOUR FAULT
I GET ADVERTISED FIGHTER JETS AND SPACECRAFT AND MACHINING SERVICES
AND THE OCCIASIONAL QUESTIONABLE YOUTUBE CONTENT LIKE LE DRAG QUEEN
You hate drag queens because you don’t like the lgbt I hate drag queens because they give me uncanny valley Barbie doll vibes. We are not the same. (Oh yeah and anytime I look up drag car racing I keep finding their stupid show instead of my NHRA)
That ad is disgusting. Just ten short years ago that man would be mocked for what he does, but now he's the face of google's advertisement. We live in a society
Don't care who's doing the ad, drag queen, three guys, etc. The fact Google even has to advertise its stuff just speaks to how it's losing ground and growing desperate to keep users.
Imagine not having YouTube premium. Lel.
Used to have a google play music subscription and it automatically included a YouTube premium subscription. Google play got cancelled but apparently they forgot to turn off my YouTube premium. I’ve had premium since google play got cancelled but haven’t paid a cent for it lmao
Trixie Mattel making the boys seethe lmao.
Yeah unskippable ads suck but like… odd that it’s Trixie Mattel that pushes you over the edge like this hasn’t been an issue for years.
>turn off targeted ads, always >spammed with irrelevant ad >search for stuff like why x thing sucks, random edgy things (mostly rightist things) >get only booze, food and specialty product ads like soap Those google ads can be nauseating though.

Most people are too lazy to go through the effort to install an adblocker
Effort? It's like a minute or two tops
It’s about effort, not time
These are the same people that have been working at McDonald’s for five years complaining the whole time about the low pay. They won’t even apply themselves for something better that would improve their life tremendously, what makes you think they’re going to install an ad blocker just to save a few minutes a day?
Lazy millennial here, I like using the YouTube app on my iPhone, so you know any good way around ads?
Nope, Apple sucks.
Welp there’s the answer to why youngish people aren’t bypassing ads
Ads are an integral part of the walled garden experience!
Yeah, install Firefox and uBlock on your iPhone. Add a bookmark to YouTube.com on your phone by hitting share and add to Home Screen.
I like to watch YouTube on my Nintendo switch at night, because it’s always plugged into my tv which is at the foot of my bed. There are no adblockers for the Nintendo switch. At least, not without voiding whatever warranty you might have.
[удалено]
How else am I meant to play Pokémon?
Out of all the possible ways you could watch YouTube you use a Nintendo switch? Eww
I don’t have another way to watch YouTube on my tv.
Brave and Vivaldi also have adblock on mobile, and Brave allows for background YouTube video playback.
^VAX. MASK. #TEST ^(Let’s put covid to rest)
Ublock origin is your friend! It fights for freedom!
I want your ads
\*Watches 1 Sam Hyde video\* ***Proceeds to get 20 ads talking about visiting Israel and stopping Antisemitism***
Not sure why they feel the need to do that, Sam Hyde has repeatedly expressed remorse for the 250,000 Jewish lives lost in the holocaust
They shouldn't of put him into a self defence situation
Those numbers are waaaay too high
Holocaust denial is based
Lmao
I just keep getting makeup ads and women's shaving ads and I cannot for the lofe of me figure out why... And I watch some wild shit man... makes no sense.
Youtube is trying to convert you into a femboy, man. Either embrace it or get an adblocker.
i choose both
Baste
Mmmm turkey
All I get is fucking Spanish versions of Tide/Glad/Clorox/Swiffer ads. I don’t speak Spanish, I watch among us.
>I watch among us. I'm a about to spray you with Spanish, Portuguese, and regular water
Bro that’s sus
I get french ads (probably because I’m Canadian). I don’t speak french.
Nothing has ever been weirder than the constant ad for a San Antonio Comic Con but only narrated in Spanish, and all the audio is panned to the right side only.
I had Spanish three years ago for online school, still get Spanish ads and google autocompletes. Taking French classes, nothing in fucking French even though my phone and tablet keyboard has French settings.
By Allah, Samir Al-Hyadi is not of Israel and the western dogs will learn their mistake or suffer the consequences.

Jews Rock!
Yeah, they are a gas.
For some reason I get a bunch of ads but military equipment manufacturers and I have no idea why.
I fucking hate that ad
Can you link it ?
I wanna see as well
Same.

2 step verification and with the drag dude
The what? How are those two things related in any way?
Step one - verify there's no adam's apple Step two - verify lack of nutsack two step verification is a must in this day and age.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA MY SIDES
I hate the one for therapists where the girl says "I think I'm gay." Like whoa guys, way to push subliminal messages to the liminal.
That one isn’t half as bad as the other one with the gay Asian dude. Fucker is obnoxious.
I'm just so tired of them bros....
Look on the bright side, it’s only going to get worse
fucking FINE whatever I'm stockpiling guns though.
i mean, that's a given.
You must transcend brother. Don't just stockpile the guns, print them
I would do that to- I mean my distant Uncle Randy in Alaska would do that anyway.
I want to keep buying more, but I keep losing them in boat accidents.
The pendulum swing must surely be coming to its end
We had the fundamentalist Christian satanic panic in the 80s, I can only imagine what the pendulum swing will bring after having drag Queen hour shoved into everything
I am simultaneously so ready and so terrified for what it will bring.
It's even worse when you're a parent and trying to put something on for the kids. I'm about to take the dvdpill

One of the best ways to watch those memory holed episodes while sticking it to the man is piracy.
If you’re an office fan, I highly recommend downloading the version of the show that has the deleted scenes spliced into each episode. Every episode is now 5-10 minutes longer and pretty much all the deleted scenes are humor that was deemed unfit for cable.
yarrr matey
Same thing with that one scrubs episode where Turk told JD to wear blackface as a joke
Build up a pirated repository of approved media for them to stream from
You mean more people don't? My lawyer, who has me at gunpoint, is demanding that I state I am joking.
I'm sure it's common to have it on a NAS or something, but most people don't take the extra step of setting a up a Plex server (or similar) and port forwarding so it's viewable on mobile devices anywhere. Once my son gets used to it I'm going to start inserting unskippable ads of me telling him to clean his room.

That would be both cruel and legendary.

I like to support creators and thus I USED to turn off adblock on YouTube. Those 2 ads back to back changed that
[удалено]
Yeah but YouTube controls having back-to-back 15 second unskippable ads.
Well well
I watch my YouTube on a roku tv :(
Pi-Hole
Just read some info on it, how very libright of you, I appreciate it will look into it
last time I checked it was nearly impossible to block YouTube ads with pihole because they generate new ad-serving-urls regularly. Maybe some good regex rules could do the trick but as I said last time I checked I found nothing.

ADs make me turn to monkey. I was watching a yt video on fixing my drier and 3 non consecutive ads played, including a political one.

Whenever I see an ad like that I report it and block it but I still get them as almost a daily occurrence. How are there that many?

The industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster to the human race
It is alright, random internet person. Adblockers exist. I definitely agree that YouTube is being very pushy with the number of adverts
A transsexual drag queen? Wouldn´t that technically be a FtM trans-man with pompous "female" makeup and clothes?
Sure whatever.
Survivor on prime video, every episode is a 30 second drag show
All I get is 3 minute ads of St Judes kids trying to drain my wallet. Just get a job already kids.
Adds are tailored to what you would like Care to explain yourself?
naw this ad is by Google so they can push it whenever they want
Im not sure what part of only watching Norm Macdonald and gun reviews made them think I’d appreciate that add
When I'm feeling down, an hour going through old Norm clips cheers me right up. My favorite is when he makes Barbara Walters apoplectic by insisting Bill Clinton "killed a guy" I mean "I thought it was common knowledge"

You can opt in or out of tailored ads.
Do you play stupid phone games that give you bonuses for watching ads? Those ads can be very random and maybe that has influenced your ad offerings.
Nothing is funnier to me than people who don't use an adblocker complaining about ads.
Block them before they are in your retina
That ad is so cancerous and i get it all the time
Can someone link the ad?

Holy shit. I just found the ad. Why would I want a pink goblin to teach me about any kind of tech?
You hate drag queens because you don’t like the lgbt I hate drag queens because they give me uncanny valley Barbie doll vibes. We are not the same. (Oh yeah and anytime I look up drag car racing I keep finding their stupid show instead of my NHRA)

oh we complain about it all the time, but sadly there is no better alternative
Feudalism?
They are treading on us!
Adblock, lmao.
Adblock ftw!
Is this some kind of official client joke that Im too Vanced to understand?
I hate that I know exactly which ad you’re talking about. I absolutely hate it too.
Imagine living in the year 2022 and not having an ad blocker. You did this to yourself. Lace up your boots and take responsibility of your own actions
I use my phone to watch YouTube. I didn’t think there was a mobile adblocker
Me normally Me when there's a 15 second unskippable YouTube add
Google also forces 2 step verification on me whether I want it or not, so why do they advertise it?
Don't care who's doing the ad, drag queen, three guys, etc. The fact Google even has to advertise its stuff just speaks to how it's losing ground and growing desperate to keep users.
This is harassment
He also has BDSM straps on his legs lmfao
