Today I was reminded how bad YouTube ads are

Technology@lemmy.world – 567 points – 1 years ago

I watched a Warframe (game) YouTube video on the Steam integrated browser, without beeing connected to my account and Holly s* it was horrible.

In a 14 minutes video, I got 5 ads. 1 (or more skippable once) at the beginning, 1 during the first half of the video, 2 during the second half, and 1 at the end.

All were skippable after 5 sec.

2 were close together at about 1 min interval during the second half of the video.

But that is not the only issue. 4 of those ads (not the last one at the end), were Israeli hate/war anti-hamas propaganda.

I consider these ads horrible and they should not be allowed in my opinion.

Call me a dirty communist but I think education should be accessible to all regardless of socio-economic status.

A well educated population is better for Democracy, better for the human species and society.

I agree with you, dirty communist.

I am also a dirty communist named Bort

HI Bort welcoe to dirt-loving communists

I completely agree, but that's what a government is for.

Your original post definitely implied that it's the individuals burden.
