    Youtube Ads used to be for pizza restaurants and lawnmowers.

    Now they want me to join a fucking cult that worships alphabeta-blocking milkshakes.

      I was getting ads for a very blatant scam. They used extremely well known buzzwords for it too, it’s actually embarrassing that it could have passed even automated screening.

      Good point. The ad quality has dropped by so much, hard to imagine ads this bad are possible. Really shitty mobile games are a huge part of that advertisement. A lot of stuff that just seems scam my too.

        I constantly see an ad by zeiss (which is a german company but they’re in california) and I don’t even know what they produce but I swear to God I’ll never get a Zeiss product. An acquaintance worked with them for a while and I have trouble taking him seriously now. (They’re pretty american in that way but they’re also very german)

        I fucking hate zeiss after this ad.

      I watch one set of ads. As soon as the second ad starts I download the video and fuck youtube.
