Watching this on a website owned by Google
madcuzbad looking for this comment
I bet anything it won't make it to trending...
madcuzbad No worry, Just HATE EVERY Ad expect by Nintendo and Minecraft.
thought about the same thing... funny thing is, its a great content provider
+Guilherme Furst the point is just that, we are selling ourselves for content. There isn't and there will never be something free.
so I'm worth 12 dollars? that's more than I expected
You can't multiply my worth and get 12. Nit even using a decimal
+The Forge Steel its 0.
not going to like and waste the 420
Lameashellcosplay is it $12 a month, year, or lifetime?
Your information is not you. Your information is not yours or else we could file charge against them for stealing.

Olivia, we're after you!
We're going to find out what kind of burgers you like one way or another!
Wisdom Erwin NU ILL NEVER LET YOU FIND OUT!
Wisdom Erwin oh really?
Olivia Freund lol
Olivia Freund They are Evil and Facebook Sucks.
I just love how they analize every single detail about you, yet I'm still getting ads for a game I looked for ONCE over a year ago
Which game😳
fr
I bet it's one of those games where the ad is 100% different to the actual game, too.
GF on same wifi ?
@@holupasecond415 ads are also targeted from close contacts of yours. I’ve connected to my friends Koreans internet and now I get some wild Korean ads.
Clearly it isn't very effective, I can't think of the last time I saw an ad I was actually interested in.
lol same
That1Guy my favorite type of ad is the one I get for a product that I have just purchased. I bought a pair of shoes online about a year ago from Amazon. Immediately afterwards, I went on Facebook and got an ad for the same pair of shoes. So stupid.
IKR. I mean, I have adblock on virtually every website except TH-cam, but I never get ads that cater to me. Heck, if I see an ad that I even somewhat like, I won't skip or delete it because I WANT them to stop showing me ads for junk I hate. But despite that, Google still doesn't have any idea what I like.
But The ADSSSSSSSSS THEY ARE EVOLVING
It's kinda depressing how much power they have v.s. how shitty their results are.
Sooo... Can pregnancy test advertisers stop targeting me please? I don't know what I googled to deserve this.
TheEllaDarling lol wut?
I get clear blue ads on half the videos I watch, I'm 17, I'm not sure what I've been googled in order for that to happen xD
LOL :D
same here xD
I get grind advertisements you know the gay dating website. (I not even gay wtf are you trying Google)
TH-cam recommend this to me should I be worried
maybe
savage bird no you shouldn't

no one cares
mess with the birdo and you get hurto
Quantity of Boots So TH-cam has gone turncoat and is trying to save people...No wonder their ad and demonetisation policies have been so shit recently...*Takes off sunglasses* MY GOD!

What idiots dont use Ad-Blockers and something like

Seriously, how stupid do you need to be to not use
Ad-Blockers?!
The scary thought of it is not actually the fact that they record your information. It's only being read by an algorithm and doesn't impact me in my everyday life. The problem is that all this information is being stored somewhere, which makes it possible for somebody to read. Not an algorithm, but a real person. Imagine a world, where the police can just go through every personal information of a suspect, read all their messages, searches and ads. It's a terrifying thought.
Granted, police being able to see people's fb statuses has led to many murders being solved.
they already do that, a guy came to my school to tell use that they can go through companies stuff whenever if they think something illegal is happening.
Well I don't find it a big deal, the police is a public service, even if they find out about your pornography search history or other embarrassing information, they will just ignore it because they don't even know you personally, they just need the information about their case. Actually if accessing this information is useful for them i'm in, if you are an honest person who does nothing wrong you shouldn't worry about anything, even if the police find out some secrets like if you cheat on your wife/husband they will ignore this information unless it is useful for research
"I've got nothing to hide" ...And other hilarious jokes you can tell yourself!
They can, only it requires a lot of approval, of course they can just pay 12 dollars

When I was pregnant with my 3. child I didn't watch any pregnancy related stuff because I already got everything for my previous children and didn't need anything. Then I wrote in a private message to one friend in Facebook that I'm pregnant. But I didn't exactly write that I'm pregnant, I just wrote that we soon will be five. Next time I used the internet it was full with pregnancy and baby adds. Diapers, bibs, baby clothes, pregnancy vitamins etc... I didn't know if I should be impressed or scared.
Sarah Kirchner Both
Sarah Kirchner interesting... I don't think the A.I would've been able to infer your pregnancy from that sentence... However... It might've tracked your friends saying "Sarah is pregnant" a bunch of times and concluded that "pregnant" was related to you.
Adblockers control what shows up on your screen, *NOT* what they can read in-transit.
Beastly maybe you are right.

Same business model with TV, with the media generally: they sell audiences to advertisers.
I legitimately don't understand why these numbskulls are so paranoid about google tracking them. Companies have been doing it for decades. Heck psychology books make best sellers on business sections. And Google is being made the scapegoat so corporates can escape with the much more "experimental" things they do

Why? Did yours cost one? Haha. Then i believe you have been ripped-off - MAYBE.
But seriously: Nope, mine dont cost anything.
I can't believe some people didn't already know this. How else will they make money if you refuse to pay them?
well it's less that people refuse to pay and more that the option was never there because of how the internet has developed..you can't just order an internet package for 12 bucks.
Enablingbuzz That's true. But it's slowly appearing with premium and ad-free packages popping up everywhere. And people complain about them like they're the damn plague, just as much as they complain about the ads. ("I hate those damn ads, but I'm not about to pay them a whole 12 dollars a month!! They're taking my money!!") People are getting the option but many I know refuse to take it because they're cynical about the capitalist schemes to make more money - those same people will unplug and damn near throw out every electronic in their house after watching an Edward Snowden documentary. It's just annoying.
Promise Mitchell Name a package that you are familiar with, i want to dig around see exactly what is being offered, who is getting paid for it and how it stops what was mentioned in the video and why you need to pay every month when all this info is worth 12 bucks for a life time.
Enablingbuzz I may be misinformed so whatever you find, let me know (I'll do some searching of my own in the meantime). And I know of the spotify, and Pandora packages. Not much, but it doesn't advertise - which I assume means doesn't sell the data since you pay. Google has TH-cam Red that comes without ads with a monthly also with no ads. Realistically, TH-cam is run by Google so they'd probably use it anyway. To avoid the whole Facebook thing I'd imagine you can just stop using Facebook. However, I have only watched this one video and don't care much about anything I do on the internet being tracked by the government. The only thing that bothers me about ads is how long they take to load when my internet is slow. I have elementary knowledge of topic so I don't have much else to say. But I've been convinced that I should be somewhat concerned about this.
if you're not a cyber criminals, high government officials or celebrities, you should be fine and this shouldn't be your concern. I mean they collect data about your personal preferences to sell you stuffs that you might be interested in, it could benefits you in someway, like products that you would never know it exist without those ads, that might help with the efficiency of your jobs, or a stuff of your hobby. There are so many people using the internet that your data is just there to represent a group of people with the same interests and nothing more, they don't have any reason to spy on you. Also, corporation and government have their own network to transfer informations and doesn't have to send email through internet services like Yahoo or Google.
To be honest, I don't mind my info being sold to advertisers. I just find it interesting how much companies can find out about you when you don't explicitly tell them. And I can't remember the last time I actually bought something because of an ad.
exactly. it’s only really praying on the people who wanna spend money anyways , they just give them suggestions. No one is making them buy it. Now appearing false ads and information is something different
doesn't matter. the fact that they know so much about you is the real problem. and of course these companies give this information to governments too, even if they may not admit it. i don't know about you but i personally don't want any government to have that much leverage over me
@@mehraneh1554 Yah the fact that they sell the information to governments is the real problem
@@mehraneh1554 They don't know about you, keywords in your system get put into an algorithm and that algorithm adds up the other keywords you use to determine the general area of the person you are. For them to actually understand you as a human would require far more information, real humans, psychological studies and other things they wouldn't give a crap about cause it'd be far too much effort for too little payoff. Unless you're spilling every one of your thoughts, opinions, activities etc. onto a website, they're getting at most a handful of generalised properties that they can use to sell stuff to you based on the demographics they find you to fit in to.
Can't buy anything when you see an ad if you don't have money

I can't believe someone is wasting his/her time tracking me XD
Wasting precious time from a robots life. Ya very sad.
They funny thing is we are all being tracked. And this started happening way before the internet. Now the internet makes it way easier for out masters.
I know right
I think it's more of a robot that tracks everything you do and then keeps that infomation somewhere for whenever they need it
Its a bot but hey its still not worth its time for you so haha
Now i understand why companies hate adblock, because we want free services but also want to stop them targeting us with ads therefore freeing ourselves of being the "product" but the fact still remains our information is still tracked and collected
and? You just heard them say "billions of users" they couldnt process your info personally. Your info is simply run through programs and algorithms to apply to your browsing. It really isnt like they show here, which normally theyre better about not fear mongering, but there isnt some scary guy looking at what you do. Really its just a data program that read what you typed like "I love burgers" then ran it through multiple calculations then slotted your info with a million other people then sold that bundle to fast food and other burger chains. Its not some scary big brother thing.
Besides, they made a really bad comparison
"your interests, your personality, your relationships, your privacy, those things are priceless, but you gave it away for just 12$"
You didnt give it away, they are still priceless. Like a company selling the information you gave them about being interested in modeltrains will stop being an interest all of the sudden. All you get is a company trying to make you buy modeltrains from their shop instead of a different one. They buy the info they need. It's not like McDonalds wants to know what kind of car you own. They rather want to know when and where to advertise. If you take a daily scroll through facebook around dinnertime, you're going to end up getting ads from the highest bidder. It's quite simple actually.
As for privacy: your data is being collected, by computers, then scanned for certain keywords and keyphrases, by computers, then are compared to your internet behaviour, by computers. Then the same computers make a small file with what you are interested in. Companies buying the info are actually buying in bulk based on interests and only need the names and links to accounts and IP.
I'm not afraid of any company untill ads are specifically refering to things I did earlier, like "You think those clothes are too expensive in store X? Click here to get massive discounts."
honestly, don't mind being targeted with ads I quite often find clothes I like thanks to them im not a dog that eats because foods is put in front of me though I don't have to buy things I have self control so I really don't see the problem. This is only a problem for idiots.
No you don't. They hate adblock not because it blocks ads, but because it's actually "stoling" the infos they want to gather about you, and probably resells them to that companies. It also lowers the price of ads.
Adblock isn't a white knight who came to rescue us. If you really want to escape the Matrix, you need to put more efforts in it.
You just figured this out now?
Adma: "google tracks you"

All of the people saying "AdBlock"
Using adblock doesn't prevent them seeing your information, m8.
MasterDAIR but it makes your information worth less
How? Explain.
MasterDAIR because then the ads don't work and they will know they don't work thus making you worth less, it's like economics 101
How will they be able to know it won't work though? Money is only given if you click on the ad (on sites like Google). So it's just like you didn't click it. They won't know unless they do something directly to find out. They won't know if you use AdBlock because Ads don't work, because the same result would come from someone seeing the ad but not clicking it. (Some types of ads do work differently, but the majority work like this)
Adblock does block search result ads (the sponsored ones )
my reaction to all of this is “ ok and? like i didn’t already know that. “
Yeah it’s not like we don’t know this. I mean I’m down for it. Who knows, maybe google will recommend me some cool shit, if not who cares?

TheGamingSession ... so somewhere out there, a computer exists purely to watch porn.
Never bought anything related to ad on internet.
And 100% of ads of fast food chain i receive is only after I have eaten it, which is completely useless.
yeah, as previously stated I fail to see how a paid system would stop anyone from gathering your data.
also google might only make $12, but that's far less than what we save in exchange. If anyone honestly thinks that TH-cam wouldn't charge $9.99 a month clearly is too retarded to function considering TH-cam Red. How much would Gmail cost? $5.99 a month? What about access to the search engine? another $5.99, not to mention that's only google, you would also have to pay out to FaceBook, Twitter, etc., etc.. The cost of your data being safe is a lot higher than $12, and like you said, that's not even a guarantee.
and what about porn hub and xnxx ? 10 $ a month ?
That is moronic. If google makes 12 dollars from you (and I would assume that is only once, adam didn't say that it was a yearly thing) why would you be charged half that per service per month? That is ridiculous and no one would go for it. Plus, google would earn a lot of goodwill if they let you pay for their service instead, which will be a lot better and more profitable for them than people using adblock (ublock origin) and anti-tracking addons (EFF's Privacy Badger) plus realistically it would probably be a part of your broadband package rather than something you purchase individually.
H1bbe that has no effect on my statement, I am doubtful that Google would suddenly stop tracking our data if we paid for it. TH-cam red for example, all it offers is no ads, that doesn't mean it won't collect your data.
Austin Drapen Because that's what you paid for what? If I pay them to stop tracking me and they keep doing it that's illegal!

@@gsiya4023 From a narrative standpoint probably the bright side was a moot point, seeing how the sheer despair made him wallow on the floor at the end and not interested on hearing it at all.
but a payment model wouldnt stop them from collecting your data
true,
Although, if they were paid then not everyone would go ahead to be on a single site (ex: Facebook). There could be many other choices that are based on different models. Or also there could be higher packages that include total privacy. By refusing to pay anything you also reject customer protection and allow them to do what they want. Paying isn't necessarily the solution but it gives more leeway to have actual solutions.
Well now that it's already been placed. You are correct. However, we can always bandwagon together and ask for a law, helping to stop the collection of data.. Skype has been warned to stop collecting raw video data of its users.. As I and possibly many others use it for other means than just communication. And they still have not stopped.. So who knows.. I just hope I never see a video of me on porn hub. XD haha gross.
A payment mode would entitle the user to certain privileges, such as privacy. And if the terms of contract were breached by collecting data, they would be liable for a lawsuit. But you can't do that with free websites because you read and agreed to the terms and conditions.
Catalin Marin On a business perspective what's actually stopping them, though? At the end of the day, they're still a business; and businesses do what they do: rake in the moolah.
So after typing this comment, I know that THEY know that I know that THEY know that I know that they’re monitoring us.

daisyhinojosa23 ikr, im just scrolling past ads think i need a job
i install adblocks, never buy anything on the internet (usually), don't use social media, and have little to hide, overall. so, i am like a free loader i guess.
same, and even so i don't get my wants off of ads
they knew it before you did !
People who go to porn hub on incognito mode: *Sweats intensity level 1000*
Actually, since pornhub doesn't use google services, or facebook ones, you're not tracked by them there. Usually you're tracked on websites that uses Facebook API (that nice "Like" button for example) or google Ads (And there's a shit ton of websites that uses them, usually not the porn ones though)

Big corps don't care that people know. As long as the customers at large keep falling for it, they turn in a profit.
They know that even if we know, we won't do anything about it. We are already hooked and getting technologically advanced. As 1 person quits, 15 people get into the matrix.

I wanted to hear the bright side.... :(
T H E R E I S N ' T O N E
BWAAAAAAA!!! BWAAAAAAAA!!!
the bright side is a) it's only ads that can have the free will to ignore and b) you have free internet. That's the benefit. Aside from paying for cable and a few pay sites you have access to the biggest search engine, can watch infinite vids, and can keep in touch with friends 24/7. YOU HAVE THE INTERNET
porn
Bright Side: You literally have access to almost INFINITE INFORMATION for FREE.
Luckily for me, I don't use any Google websites.
HAHHAHHAHHAHHAH
Robert Seyfried Jr. what about TH-cam
Is this really epic sarcasm or do you not know who owns the tube
almost every website has Google analytics installed, because it's also a free service for developers ;)
trust me, I'm a Web developer
This is the best shot adam ruins everything. It looks so beautiful.
am i the only one who doesnt really mind if google has my information.... who cares if i get there are ads which are personalised to us, surely thats not a bad thing?
What most people are worried about is that's not all they can do with your information, but yeah I agree.
There making fb look horrible but I agree I don't mind
jacky m yes it's a rather big problem if they have your information.. they can not only target you with personalised ads, they can manipulate you in your political opinion. they know, based on your likes and behaviour patterns, what type of personality you have and will show you taylored information. for example, they've used this in the trump campaign, showing only people from the city part "little haiti" in florida how clinton failed to help people after the earthquake in haiti, and so on. this is just one example, there's an awful lot they can do. they already have analysed the personality of almost all people living in the us
jacky m google "cambridge analytica", it's the company that helped trump win. it's quite impressive (and scary).
jacky m I totally agree. And it shouldn't be a surprice to anyone that they make money on their products. Let the one who works for free cast the first stone.
Wait... so they know what memes I like?
That's impossibru!

me: i wonder if i could buy my own info
David Smarjesse xd
David Smarjesse no but you can sell your own info. Use Brave browser. They essentially hold hostage advertisers' access to you unless you say otherwise, and you can sell access to you. Then cash out, or automatically distribute it in micro payments to websites you use.

It's because it's computer not a person so if you mention fortnite, it will try to sell it too you, it doesn't care in which context its put.
It's mocking you.

So... I'm worth... 12 dollars?
... wow... I ... I didn't know someone out there valued me that much.
Thank you.
hahaha me to i thought i was 0.99 cents worth but ok this is better
It's not you that's worth 12$, it's your data. And how much that data reflects your true self depends on how much sht you post about you on the internet. Imagine as if you are a celebrity and your data is your public image. You can control your image as much as you want, but at the end of the day only your family, friends and yourself know who you really are.

The fact this is talking about Facebook and a guy called Ethan Zuckerman is in this vid is great
Commander Ondolemar so they both have the German form of ‘sugar’ in their name - that is the thinnest if connecting ties.
@@smallsignals the fact that they have the German word for sugar in the name is the connection I made, I made this comment to visibly show the fact I made a connection between these two people
Commander Ondolemar.
I think you should discourage your mind from making such links. I am making this comment to visibly show that this kind of biased thinking, building a connection where there isn’t one, can lead to misguided associations.
The reason you posted it was context. Otherwise, there would have been no reason to post it. The word ‘sugar’ is irrelevant here, yes, except for in the capacity that it exists in two distinct places within the context of this video? So if it’s not the form of the word that matters, then we could replace it. With say, ‘Mark’? So Mark Zuckerberg and let’s pretend the other guy was called Mark Johnson. It would seem a bit silly pointing out that they’re both called ‘Mark,’ do you agree?
So, the connection might stand out because the element ‘Zucker’ is less common to you and more noteworthy.
But it gets worse, because in this analysis, really it would be Mark and Marty because they both weren’t called Zuckerberg. So it’s essentially you going, ‘look two people both have a name that start with “Mar”’
Back to context, the only reason then that would make this worth pointing out is if you see some sort of connection there. And due to the context of this film, it makes it almost sound like you’re implying Ethan Zuckerman can’t be trusted because he has Zucker in his name. And in context of their geographical location, it starts to feel like you’re implying something vaguely anti-Semitic. And that’s something I don’t think was your intention.
So maybe just don’t post every thought that comes into your head because I just did that in this comment and we can both see how pointless that was, can’t we?
@@smallsignals I believe you have misread the purpose of my comment, I am simply pointing out the fact that they have a similar second name and in the first purpose of the comment was not to imply what you have stated. I am simply as you said, pointing out that they have a similarly starting second name.
I am indeed sorry for any confusion I have caused for not specifying my meaning when first typing out my comment.
My most humble apologies.
Commander Ondolemar oh man, you’re really nice. I’m sorry. I’ve been a bit of a nasty person. My sincerest apologies. I’ve channeled my stress in a most unhealthy way.
Well, this isn't new. Though I got so many ads for males about "delicious" stuff and that's despite... well... not being a male. But I see it again and again. Not as much as in the past, when weird ads popped up "Do you want to see naked women" (The answer is still no, I'm not lesbian, GOOGLE), but still.
But the thing is this: as long as it only ads... Screw, I don't care from advertiment. Sure, sometimes I may enter them, but it never ends up in buying. The problem starts when it is used to other stuff...
What about your recommendations? Your parents might think your a whore because perverted ads keep popping and i watch this full episode in trutv and they said they can also sell your information for governor spies that might try to assassinate you if you are involve to the governments secret. But that won't likely happen because i think you and almost everyone are innocent
@@whatsupwithrenzyt5057
The latter half is not true. However, Governments can access for your Google information. Google’s been pretty strict about how much information they allow, but I doubt that that will last forever.

keep lying!!!!
are ads really that effective? i can't remember the last time i bought something as a direct result of seeing it in an advert. do ads actually affect some people's buying decisions? thats pretty sad imo
They affect everyone's buying decisions. Including yours, no matter how cool you are.
João Rezende
maybe subconsciously, but not directly
*****
i guess if only 1 out of 100,000 people are affected by ads, big websites like Facebook would still make massive profits from that. makes sense i suppose
Google is primarily an advertising and analytics company and they really obviously really profitable. Buying an ad service from Google, Facebook etc is quite expensive and there's videos only comparing different ones in terms of driving up your business. It's targetted like the point of this video, if you know someone buys watches you a watch company might get an advert on their screen, if 1 in 30 buy it there's a large profit. A local service like a plumbers might target local people who have looked up/talked about plumbing related needs. Apparently it works.. the money flows.
Exactly, it's about exposure. If you are aware of Coke as an option when you go to the supermarket it is familiar, you tend to go for familiar products.

I keep getting beer ads and I'm 14 years old.
Maybe u like beer

Theres strict liquor laws against that. Sue them for contributing to the delinquency of a minor..
Maybe ur father or someone that uses the same computer as u searches for beer
i get weapon ads and im 15
WHAT WAS THE BRIGHT SIDE
Maybe it was that you can turn off personalized ads in some places.
I don't have an answer to any of that.
I dont think people purely understand this, Google gives no shit about what you search, they simply target ads (with bots) and then go on with other users, it is very very unlikely that an actual human has ever seen your browsing history etc at google
1. What would they threaten google with? they have top ddos protection obviously, they cant sue them...
2. Also, Google only sell this to secure third parties, if you look into the terms and conditions they promise that you are treated like a number and that no human will see your name, address etc.
I see what you mean but... yeah... no one should worry about this.
edit: also, this is only a problem anyway to the people that post everything they do on social media etc, the person in this that bought a burger was only "attacked by ads" because he posted about it :/
Im not as sure about that one as I mostly avoid the site completely, based on what I do know however is that the data is just used to target adverts and particular people, once again, a human will never see it and if one does your name will be protected under an ID key.
Once again though im not as sure about Facebook.
One of the few times I thoroughly agree with Adam. Companies like Amazon, Google, Facebook and Microsoft have their tentacles all over the Internet and we don't know hownfar they go; it makes effectively boycotting them nigh impossible bar simply not using the Internet.
Also can suspect that and also Facebook and Instagram really went to rip-off territory just went through the sites going into a blank page when I had a profile back around November 14 and just a week after that I quit and did a deletion or think I got that out of there who knows what's left floating but I'm sure I did. Really not always what it is of social media that's for sure let alone trust it as real since you're more likely to be WRONG on that.
So... Am I the only one that's curious about what bright side Adam was going to talk about at the end?
no, you are not the only one
nope
Definitely not the only one.
The bright side is: if you sell your identity, you will have 12 dollars! Woohoo! 😂
The bright side is that this makes it less likely to have ads you'd have no interest in pop up on your screen, unlike what happens during ad breaks on a commercial tv channel.
I kind of feel like I should care, but I really don't mind all that much. The biggest way it impacts me is that I get ads for things that are actually relevant to my interests.
the biggest way it impacts you is that it concentrates power and wealth the likes of which you cant even imagine. glad you're OK with your kids not having a job.
Justin Mack wait, wait, wait..... what does this have to do with your kids not having jobs?
Justin Mack I don't have kids.
Justin Mack *REKT*
Watch Dogs 2 shows what the world can become like if this continues.
Then why are the ads always irrelevant to me?They never reflect my interests.
Maybe you're lying to yourself and they know better.
Sorry to ruin your dreams, but no, I'm not.
Because they are just looking for buzzwords and other such stuff. It's much more simplistic than people think it is, but it is still an amoral practice from both Google and facebook. Advertisements were fine but they pushed onward to selling personal data on a scale never seen before.
because you're not spending money on anything? if you actually started buying things they advertise to you then maybe the ads will start being relevant
Okay, that makes sense.
I'm worth twelve dollars. Thats twelve dollars more than I thought I was worth
Except they're terrible at guessing. I've literally never seen a "personalized" ad for anything I've bought or would ever buy.
