Even the FBI recommends you use an adblocker, for your personal safety. Source: https://www.tomsguide.com/news/the-fbi-now-recommends-using-an-ad-blocker-heres-why
That’s did news. Perhaps after mastodon grow massive thanks to Elon, and Lemmy grow thanks to reddit, we see peertube get his time to shine thanks to Google… #fuckupyourcompanyFAST
We need an AdBlock for adblockers now. Hopefully this will get bypassed.
I miss the good old days on YouTube.

Fuck this shit with the force of a billion adblockers.
Yeah, yeah, it’s all about the creators’ well being.
I have YouTube ReVanced on my phone. If YouTube ever defeats uBlock Origin on my desktop, I just won’t watch YouTube on desktop anymore. I refuse to watch or view ads.
People who choose not to watch ads are far more likely to not spend money based on ads. I know that when I see the same crappy ads over and over, yeah, I remember the name of the product, and I remind myself every time never to buy it. I’m more likely to buy from that seller if I don’t see their ads.
Everyone thinks ads only work on other people, that’s why ads haven’t been banned yet.
Yeah. I’m completely allergic to ads. If this goes through I’m simply not going to use YT anymore.
Chumba…Jordan Peterson and the stupid best fiends game, I’ll NEVER use
No Ad is good sunscreen.
then they are succesfully livin in your head rent free
I operate this way too. There must be literally dozens of us.
In all seriousness, I do find it somewhat surprising that some of these companies think saturating everything with ads is a good idea. As a simple matter of brand recognition, I get that the power of suggestion is a helluva drug. But all that stuff does eventually glom together in my head as general advertising nonsense – as a result I see companies that advertise less / not at all and rely on a quality product and word of mouth as a better buy.
They don’t just think it’s a good idea, marketers have convinced themselves they’re doing you a favor by pummeling you with advertisements day and night.
How else could you learn about their valuable product if not for constant, unending advertisement?
I work in Google Ads every day.
It’s more likely that they’re incompetent and haven’t checked/manually set up their video / display ads, and have let Google decide how often to show their ads. Google then decides to show their ads as often as possible because it gets clicks (even if they’re accidental) and nets them more money each time.
The best trick Google ever pulled was telling advertiser’s to trust them with their money and “leave it up to the algorithm”.
Fuck no, you set it up so Google doesn’t abuse their platform and spam your ads everywhere, ignoring everything Google tell you to do.
The shit I’ve seen in people’s accounts because Google told them to do it…
You can and should limit the amount of times your adverts are shown per day to someone. There’s a not-so-fine line between brand awareness and pissing off potential customers.
I can list a ton of products I by principle will never use. Athelic greens, casper mattresses, simplisafe, express/nordVPN, Honey … Some people may see a pattern there.
Ironically I might actually buy your product even if you spam annoying ads as long as you do it on a platform I block ads on.
100% agree, but they charge for eyeballs, not clicks.
That’s because the average person is influenced by seeing the same shit over and over again, and it improves sales. Not every single person, just most of them.
Depends on the age demographic and lifestyle. For example, I pretty much buy the same things for the last 20 years. I’m not going to change my shopping patterns because of an ad.
Also, YouTube ads are about the most random things. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ad on YouTube for anything that I would actually buy. I’m not even nearly immune to ads, either. Show me a product that solves a problem for me and I’ll strongly consider it. Consciously and I’m sure subconsciously.
Google knows what I do for a living, where I live, and what I spend money on. Google also knows that I use YouTube primarily to watch videos in other languages. It’s not a secret to them. Yet they insist on trying to sell me products or services that have zero relevance to anything that I do. In English.
It makes me wonder if they’re even trying to profit through ads. I know the answer – no, not really – the advertiser is the customer, not me. It must be too complicated for them to realise that they could charge more for ads the more sales they led to.
Not most. Just enough to make it worth the money they spend.
“just enough to justify not paying their workers livable wages” FTFY
Clicks are the core part of how ads work… Cost-per-Click, Click-Through-Rate, etc.
Adblock is one of the greatest human inventions of all time.
The best anti virus innovation in decades.
I agree
I have yet to see this running ublock origin on firefox
And sponsorblock for the in-video ads
I personally am ok with sponsors. They directly support the creators, and are easy enough to skip. Much better than unskippable targeted ads to “support” a multi-billion-dollar company…
Pretty sure they still do get paid since it’s based on views, SponsorBlock is just an Auto-skipping tool it’s not any different than scrubbing the bar manually to bypass it, though by being automated it is pretty seamless most of the time.
Same. And the instant I do I will stop using youtube.
Purge cache and update Ublock Origin
*uBlock Origin
Note: There’s a fake one called uBlock out there, so it’s best to point people to uBlock Origin or simply uBO as it’s abbreviated.
YouTube has gotten nice guy aggressive with fucking ads, especially on here … Instead of the video you see instant ad. I will not watch the ad so I click back and instead of taking me back to my app YouTube shrinks the ad then keeps it there I have to press back another two times to get the fuck away from YouTube so I can copy the link and open it in Firefox with ublock origin. I love new pipe.
It is being tested on select viewers before rollout.
The ads are not the true problem. The tracking and profiling is. They keep the rhetoric about the ads while forcing both. I’d be kinda okay with just untargeted ads. Maybe not fully okay but I’d be far more willing to tolerate them. This privacy violating thing the modern Internet made a norm? Hell no!
Unfortunately from their perspective that isn’t apples to apples. They can charge higher rates for targeted ads.
It’s weird because there’s lots of studies showing that tracking users’ interests isn’t even that much more effective than targeting based on the page content.
Efficacy man not always translate to ad sales.
When you’re selling your product and school and society have told you that you need to know your demographic, when you get to that ad manager page, you want to see your ad only being paid for on that demographic.
To get rid of the blank home : enable the history, click on a video you like, disable the history
Nah, it’s going to be bypassed soon.
