    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.

        Sometimes I think they don’t even have an automated screening. Instagram/Facebook sure as fuck don’t.

      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.
