Adverts on you tube and Facebook

[Bigg Bigg Blue]

It's getting worse on these platforms, on youtube if you are trying to watch a 10 min video you get about 6 or 8 adverts in it and it's even worse on Facebook.
I for one am getting fucking fed up with all the ads.

As someone who makes a living out of running ads, particularly on FB/IG, keep buying from them you fucker.

No, all ads get on my tits.
If I want to buy something I will look for it.

The "Accept Cookies" popups do my head in :)

You can sign up to Youtube without advertising at a cost.

I refuse to pay to stop ads, don't forget Blue Mist has taught me how to be a tight ****.

Just another money making scam

 

[Bigg Bigg Blue]

Its not though is it.
Youtube are a legitimate business, that have costs etc.

One or two ads fine but fuck me there's more ads than content these days.

Realistically mate, if you’re not paying for the product, then you’re the product.

Look at BM, you’re here thanks to the ads keeping the site running.

I actively try to avoid buying any brands that have ads that break up YouTube videos.

I try and tune out, so that I don’t see or hear what they are promoting as well.

Youtube has been ruined by the amount of ads on it. I'm aware there's a premium, ad-free version available. But I'm not prepared to pay for it. What were Google's profits last year? Their revenue for the second quarter of this year was $74.6bn.

Maybe, but I don't buy anything advertised on BM, dwarf porn holds no interest for me.

Ad avoiding should be made into a criminal offence, google have their arse hanging out of their trousers and we are all to blame for that.

Think of the children :)

adblocker seems to stop ads on youtube, bookface however.....if I could block ads on that there would be nowt left to look at

I just get ads for Temu.

Are you sure Google ads aren't looking at your browser history...?

I don’t have social media accounts but this does my head in on YouTube. Especially that prick who’s always telling people to eat a shit diet to lose weight.

I can live with them at the start of a video as I’ll put my phone down and scratch my balls or stare out of a window and ignore the ads until the video starts… but during the video, it does annoy me.

Best thing to do is post what you want to watch on Bluemoon or in a WhatsApp message and watch the video just from pressing play on the BM/WA page rather than opening YT.

As do the people that upload to YT. Yet they're fucking off on to their own platform as YT are... full of money making scams.

It would be a lot worse than dwarf porn mate if it did :)

Those Temu ads are everywhere; twitter (sorry; X), YT, FB, here.

Use (you tube vanced) it works the same as paid for youtube but free, No ads and you can play with your screen off too.

 

[Blue Til Death]

I find not using either is a blessing and the purest form of censorship..!
Society would be a much better place without them… Facebook and YouTube, not the adverts :-) well it is for me anyway …!
