I can NOT remember the last time I clicked on a TH-cam ad
If you think it’s only about that you don’t know haha
Ive watched youtube since 2014, still havent clicked an youtube ad
You don’t have to with your data out there in the world! Which is why you need to keep your data safe, and that’s why I use NORD VPN!
I only click when I fat finger the skip button
I only click ads if i think they're a scam to report them

Literally!
That's so deep holy heck 🥹🙏
shameful behaviour from our streamer 😔
No just by the title the cover show what it's about more
Online ad's have always confused me, for the simple fact that they think the Ad works so well, but also actually think that people care what content the ad is on, to the point where they might boycott the business if the Ad is on something bad.
I'm a professional digital advertiser. I used to be confused as well because my thinking was "as long as the ad is converting and bringing in money, who cares what the content is on & most people dont put the advertiser and the content it appears on into the same bucket." But then I started to understand why really big advertisers freak out about it after Twitter became X, a bunch of right wing content got pushed to the forefront, usership dropped massively, and advertisers pulled out.
Basically, advertisers are scared that if their ad dollars go to support a bad channel (on TH-cam for example) then that channel will have more resources to become bigger (think Andrew Tate). Then extrapolate that over time (these big companies are always thinking very long term) and you could end up destroying your own ad platforms if your ad dollars go to support bad channels because most normal people will stop using them. For example, if you supported bad channels on Twitch you could turn it into Kick. Or if you supported bad channels on TH-cam you could turn it into Rumble. Then you lose your good ad platforms altogether when people leave (and its very hard to rebuild usership on a new social media app even when you have lots of money, look at Threads). The big advertisers feel that pressure more because they spend so so much money on advertising, that their ad dollars could make a genuine difference if the channels their dollars go to isn't properly monitored or moderated. They want the internet to stay very normie, and appeal to the masses because that's what advertising relies on is a mass amount of eyeballs. Hope this helps!
@@talyahr3302 So less worried about personal boycotts, more worried about keeping the status quo, then shouldn't they literally be boycotting... most places right now considering how many are clearly fostering this exact issue right now via censorship and such? (basically making it so that TH-cam only services half the populations.)
It also has to do with the way those specific types of ads function. The subconscious association between the ad you watch and the vibes you have when you watch the video are very real. If you are watching something violent and upsetting the back of your brain goes eww gross when you see the product and you skip over it even if that was the type of item you were lookiing for.
@@talyahr3302That makes sense. Company pours money into channel, channel grows, revenue grows but it's tied to the channel-the cycle continuing and growing; This means all the more loss when the bad thing happens to the bad channel. It's not necessarily that the channel is bad, but what that bad entails for the future.
@@talyahr3302 also if you give money to a platform thats doing bad stuff. it's an endorsement of that content. because you are giving them money to keep it going. its not explicit, but its definitely implicit.
As someone with both youtube sponsor skip, and ublock origin, I never see ads ever in my life on the internet.
blessing of the very young
Yeah, it's amazing
Sponsor skip is too inaccurate. I just skim through the video instead.
@@Allustar sponsorblock is user submitted, if you don't like how it was cut you can make a submission yourself to make life a bit better for others
Unfortunately ublock seemed to stop blocking the little ads on the youtube home page. It used to then it just stopped one day. Still works fine in i think every other facet.
I was at my grandparents the other week and they were having my very young cousins over. They kept talking BIG game about how “They are so spoiled and always on their iPads” and how they were going to “lay down the law”. First of all, they were honestly not that bad at ALL like, for a 7 and 10 year old, very mature about not getting to use electronics. Second of all, day ONE they give in and let them use their iPads just so they don’t have to interact with them 😂
To be fair, they're from a generation where you could give a kid a stick, a book or some toys and they'd entertain themselves for hours.
Gen Alpha has already had their dopamine receptors fried so they NEED computer entertainment to feel anything.
I'm a Millennial and I genuinely believe portable computers with Internet access should be an age restricted product like alcohol or tobacco.
We used to have cocaine and heroin on the shelves at pharmacists a century ago before we decided that was a bad idea, we can do the same with smartphones and tablets.

Clicked on a TH-cam ad by accident and was spammed by the ad for the next 2 weeks. Ended up just selecting 'Not Interested' because of how much I started hating the ad.
That's what I really hate about YT ads.
They're the same ones over and over again seemingly more frequently than even TV.
There's a reason for the ad blocker wars.
This clip channel is slowly becoming one of my favorite channels on TH-cam, shout out to ædish for these killer edits!
only ad I click is when the ad is for the same website I want to go to anyways, so the company has to pay more money
based
I believe that so many jobs are requiring degrees is that they're betting on their applicants being in a ton of debt and just ready to accept some sort of payment
I- you may be right
I've never clicked an ad on TH-cam _on purpose._ I think Google has made it their life's mission to make fat-fingering as easy as possible in the app.
SAME
Well yes. They get paid per click, not per view.
Millennial parents aren't as invested in their kids education because they're both working 60 hour weeks to pay for a damn house lmao
How is the second channel better than the main
Where’s the main channel at I thought it was this one

@@lilvic372 the main channel is called MrBeast 📿
It’s just Atrioc
He’s been obsessed with basketball and isn’t grinding as hard at the scheduled bits that are usually main channel focused
Nothing makes me like a brand more than when they interrupt my content
The only advertising that worked on me was when I was actively looking for something and the ad happened to appear in a TH-cam video as a sponsor. I looked into it, liked it, and got it. Otherwise I’ve learned to tune it out
Oddly this is the reason they use for wanting a gross amount of your data to give to advertisers in real time. Like it can be painted as good or bad really easily but at the end of the day you were still better served to your needs by having that ad appear in that relevant spot.
The only advert that worked on me was for the game potion craft. Sad part was that I already had 20 hours in it when I saw the ad for the forst time.
I used to think ads didnt work until last month. I got an ad on instagram for an anime con that was 15 minutes from my house and I immediately got tickets and spent 600 bucks at the convention on autographs lmao. If I didn't see the ad I wouldnt even have known this convention was a thing.
So once over a lifetime of X number of years.
The amount of advertising budget spent to get you to buy that ticket is thousands of times more than the profit from that ticket.
Adds work best when they try to sell you something you already want.
@@Roggor They have market research proving it does work, even behemoths like coca cola - NEED advertising. I do not remember the source or the numbers, but when they decided they are so well known they can lower the ad budget - their sales plummeted down and they instantly went back to advertising. The ads are being shown to billions of people - the conversion rate doesn't need to be high to make a return - what's more, the internet ads often do the thing where they pay for clicks (and people do get the money from pay per click ads) - but the ad actually works on you even if you didn't click it, all that matters is that your brain is familiar with the brand now. Then one day you may find yourself in a situation you need this product, and when you browse for it - you will feel safer buying the one brand you have heard about before
Ads for events can actually work imo because it's something you didn't know existed before and are interested in, seeing a coca cola ad isn't gonna do anything cus if you wanted a coke youd just go get one regardless
webcomics, niche browser games & sonic banner ads have worked on me. idk about any other banner/sponsor ads though. a culvers ad playing on the radio also worked on me not too long ago. i tune most of it out though, im mainly just interested in niche site ads & ice cream ads. even then its only occasional
I taught some intro Comp Sci university courses for years, and can confirm covid kids are a lost cause. On top of the normal Gen Z tech illiteracy where half the students didn't know how a file browser worked on their computers despite being Comp Sci majors, they are completely like what's described by r/teachers. The rate of absenteeism is absurd; I mean it's university, you never had to show up in the first place but normally the lecture halls would at least be half full... but the average scores dropped massively. Normally students wouldn't show up because the intro courses were too easy; it was basic intro-to-programming and intro-to-computer science courses, all math that you learned in high school, all beginner logic problems literal children can solve, etc. I mean literally the first semester course is drawing with a turtle; inputting lines of code to tell a turtle to move around, and draw shapes. This is stuff literal children use to learn programming nowadays.
For absenteeism for important stuiff, they would tell you they're sick instead of asking for permission... FOR A MIDTERM, A WEEK AFTER THE MIDTERM TOOK PLACE. "Yeah, I was sick a week ago when can I retake the exam?" was literally a common occurrence for the past few semesters. Our program had to implement sizeable free marks (20% for attendance to lectures, 10% for labs, and 10% for tutorials) to get students to show up, and the high amount of students who still failed when almost half of the marks were given to you for just showing up was so high, they had to bell-curve first year students because they were failing at a far higher rate than typical.
Tech illiteracy of gen Z is a very fascinating topic. We took it for granted that when we were kids the Technology grew up with us, our parents were unable to catch up to all the trends, but for us it was basically a necessity to function in the society. And it was expected that the same will happen wigh gen Z - they will evolve with the tech, and we will stay behind. But it turns out, that technology having always existed, and lowering the barrier of entry resulted in making gen Z on average very tech illiterate which I think nobody expected to happen. Makes you wonder if in the far off future we are heading to the sci fi world of "old world technology" that everyone is dependant on, but nobody understands how it works
I think ads were more effective on TV. They were designed for the networks they aired on to hit a logical demographic, and therefore they had cohesion. Toys and cereal on Saturday morning cartoons, local businesses on local networks, houseware on family networks, etc. Personalized ads today try to assume your identity instead of embracing their own. So they lack presence.
Yes that’s why TV networks are failing and targeted advertising is massive 🧐
i once considered buying a ridge wallet but then i clicked an ad, saw that they were unreasonably expensive and immediately bought a different brand which was half the price.
ads do work!!
I'm scared of the day when advertisers realize just how worthless most forms of advertisement really are.
Many of the "free" services/websites/apps/etc. we take for granted, make their money through these kinds of advertisements, and without that income, most of these services would be forced into some form of paid business model instead or risk going bankrupt.
I'm afraid that some day in the future, advertisers will realize these ads are worthless, withdraw their money, and the internet as we know it will be changed forever for the worse.
i think influencer marketing works. even if you skip the ad and you just hear the name of a brand and down the line that brand becomes one of the choices in many that u need to choose from your more likely to pick the one that youve heard enough
I think sponsored CONTENT usually does better than just an ad read, or if a company has a product they believe in and send it to influencers and let them say whatever they want about it. I've learned of and bought plenty of games because of that strategy
Big C happened during my sophmore year, i lost a lot of motivation for school. Because of all the changes I barely skated by senior year my ap eng grade was 65 both semesters. I hated the changes man. Pen and paper became chrome books, snow days became school at home days. It was miserable
@@Supermoneygang12 No, Covid was genuinely a miserable time. Online school classes are the worst. Especially as an immature high schooler. I can vouch for that myself.
I had a slightly better time. Most classes weren't too bad, but my god algebra 2 was hell. I do wish i could have taken physics in the building because the experiments actually sounded more fun then the bullshit online quizzes(did you know there was a whole series of quizlets that just straight up had the questions and answers for like every subject? It basically turned into a series of google searches).
"Millennial parents don't care about their children's education" Like 5mins ago the problem was helicopter parents cared too much about their children's education 😂😂
"Successful" marketing is throwing a bunch of crap on the wall and seeing what sticks
The thing about advertisements is that it's always been a numbers game. Companies know that close to 99% of the people who see an ad are unaffected by it.
However, when you're advertising to millions of people, that 1% is extremely significant.
I actually LOVE banner ads, it's like a little game to see what website makes my uBlock icon have the highest number.
This video alone has tried to load 146 ads & tracking cookies.
(the sad thing is I used to whitelist channels I frequent, then youtube changed their URL format so I couldn't anymore)
2:39 “I just don’t click ads” 😂
My mom is a first grade teacher so she gets to see the millennial parents firsthand. She had a child in her class named Bacle (pronounced as Basil). Millennials kids are cooked man
Pronounced Basil? Can the parents not spell?
@@CainXVIII think they just want to ruin their kid’s social life…
Bacle sounds like a dog name
My friends sister is a teacher at a inner city school and from what I've heard atrioc was downplaying it. Kids got hyper polarized because of early internet during covid. The develop mental problems much earlier than other generations. Middleschoolers can't do basic arthimetic (1+3) and most are illiterate. They only pass because the schools are lowering their standards and there are kids getting good grades off of cheating in subjects like English or any class you can use ai or take online. Ai cheating is making them seem more capable than most students are. Teachers know about it but get paid more if students do well. Scary stuff.
"No child left behind" is a horrible catch 22.
Poor grades? No money for you to teach.
So focus on passing the 1 useless exam and overlook cheating, yay you scrape by and get SOME money.
Actually teach well and have 100% of your students get 100% of questions right, on 100% of those exams? ERRRRR nope, the marking is done by 3rd party private companies that have a grading QUOTA that X students MUST fail.
It's a system that deprives those who need it most, punishes excellence and only encourages minimum viable product.
That’s definitely not how teacher salaries work lmao they don’t get paid more based on test scores

I always ignored ads, but now ignoring ads has become so instinctive that I do it subconsciously. Like I'm watching something, I stop paying attention the instant an ad starts, and I've become so disconnected from what I was watching that I don't even notice when the ad ends and the thing I wanted to watch is back.
Everything past 6:40 hits home. I went into teaching but quickly joined the strike because the working conditions are horrid. The students are bad and the parents are worse (fuck millennials)
say more on this pls. any fun or horror stories
@@lukask2597 I took over as the 7th and 8th grade math teacher.
It wasn't ALL bad. I had good teaching and mentoring moments with even the most unmanageable students. But there would be entire weeks that I couldn't finish a lesson because one or two groups of kids would simply decide to hold up class however possible (screaming, getting up, talking as I taught, etc.). And they knew they could get away with it because the administration was weak and their parents would side with them no matter what. In my experience, many millennial parents (moms especially) only care about their kids' images at school, and not their actual behavior or education, to the point that they'll try to get a teacher fired if they feel he/she "wronged" their kids in some way. I had a group of moms message the principal to get me fired because I gave their daughters C's instead of A's (They deserved D's). And sadly, it's often the case that administration will buckle to those parents simply because it's easier (or because of politics).
Fun story: I dressed up as a construction worker and taught my classes how to read a tape measure one day (keep in mind, these are COVID kids, so this lesson legitimately tested their skills). And they all actually responded to that lesson, so they can at least say they have that skill.
Horror story: I was (falsely) accused of SA. I'm a young male, so the potential for that destroying my career and reputation was very high. It ended up destroying me mentally and making me paranoid to even get around students. And this paranoia was validated when one of my trusted students approached me and confided that other students, and even parents, were actively spreading SA rumors to try and get me in legal trouble. If I return to teaching, I will have a camera recording at all times for my own safety and peace of mind...
Fuck off. Teachers are inherently bad people.
I have been saying for a while millennials are the worst parents, and boomers exist so that's an incredible feat, they're either the worst helicopter overprotective my kid can do no wrong parents, or completely checked out apathetic iPad parents.
@@HemstitchedIrony Millenials are the worst parents because the world has been built for boomers and others who have already accumulated wealth, financial stability is non-existent to people who don't already have wealth or deep connections to people with tons of money, so millenial parents are forced into jobs that force them away from the family.
My mother who was born poor had to work a 9 to 11 every single night to barely afford the mortgage on our house and that shit was a decade ago, and the rates between housing and minimum wage earnings are almost triply worse now, having a kid as a millenial who isn't born wealthy or got extraordinarily lucky is basically betting on losing out on all your prospects of any financial safety in the future or doing a sub par job at both of staying slightly above the water.
6:04 god AP US history. I haven’t heard that name in 8 years.
Yeah, only ads I really have paid attention to if I don't skip through it are sponsorships. I usually just instantly glaze over them.
I don't think I've ever clicked a banner-style ad in almost 20 years of internet use. I was told as a kid that some of those ads would have viruses and was never brave enough to test that theory. Now, I just think banner/pop-up ads are actively detrimental to a website and make them feel cheap, especially when the ads stay on your screen or cover a portion of it. I have definitely followed ad links from youtubers before, though.
I think you summed it up perfectly.
I've always thought that the fact companies still showing ads means they're profitable
Theyre profitable for someone hahahaha
I can't remember where I read it but some old advertiser said "When we put ads on billboards or in newspapers we didn't know how many people looked at it but at least we knew they were people."
Charging the advertisers by clicks is just begging for corruption.
Only ads i click are jobpostings in the newspaper
Yo aedish, I’m so curious how you choose the order of these clips. I see the countdown jump all over the place so unless A just kept shifting the start time I have to assume you pull the interesting discussions out and reorder based on energy or topic or whatever, but is it just based on vibes? I feel like I have a good idea of editting a scene or a talking head, and reworking things to fit a particular narrative, but when its just a string of random chat messages being responded to I’m so curious how you go about choosing the order. Is it just pulling the hook and the button and then leaving the rest in wherever?
No clue if you read this or just edit and send over to the upload schedule, but y’all do great work and it totally interests me
Its both. Sometime he just adds up the timer because the waffle topic was interesting and theyre bouncing off quite well at the moment. Unless hes catching time, he just waits until the topic becomes meme-y or slows down
YO so i actually probably put too much thought into this but vids on this channel fall into a couple categories sometimes he yap about 1 thing for a while and i just do a cut down for flow and conciseness, sometimes he yap about like 7 things and then i like to group 2 or 3 that i think flow well for whatever reason and then cut them together starting with whatever topic i want the focus to be. I always aim for smooth transitions and try to end on something lighthearted and funny generally. Glad you enjoy! -ædish
@@AtriocClips thanks so much for sharing!
Here is my chatgpt take: the education system worldwide is fucked anyway, chatgpt is but a symptom and while things may get worse before they get better, something has to give, and i dont believe ai will be the first to reform (hopefully)
I've got graduate from computer engineering and quarter of the class were using chatgpt to make programming assigments. I've seen how a person can't even write 50 lines of code for a basic login system after getting 4 years of education.
@@NerdyWasTaken I can understand real world applications of ai to automate some things, maybe even like that, but for school assignments and especially anything creative, its fucked out here
All of the games, unlimited games, but no games
When offered an all you can eat buffet of gruel and water compared with a single decent homemade meal, why the hell would you choose the gruel?
Quality over quantity any day of the week.
I watched someone I graduated with open a terrible phone app, play one round of the game, got a fake pop up add for another terrible mobile game, clicked on it, and installed it then and there. He switched that app and did the same thing again
After WWII the grandparents of the millenials thought that it was a good idea to relax a little. Their children became the most selfish people ever due to probably some trauma but also being pampered. Then we were born to parents who were basically really rich but like children. After than we had to figure everything out ourselves which didn't work out great. Now this generation is even more crazy due to the neglect. I think though that we might pull together with the young ones.
I genuinely believe subsequent generations will have a hard uncrossable line between those who were completely neglected and raised by the Internet and those whose parents raised them like its 1932.
It might depend on your country but my parents were boomers and I do not believe either of them were pampered. I wasn't either. I am grateful for the kind upbringing I got with lots of love, but it was always very clear that I was to learn and help in all adult tasks as much as I could at my age.
never judge a book by its cover. Didnt Dhar Mann teach you anything
I’ve seen so many ads my brain has started developing its own adblock, they cannot make me do anything now.
ill take this opportunity to say this... if ads, like in the old days, were still just banners in the margins of the webpage - rather than overlays, popups, prerolls, otherwise obstructive - id be more than happy to put up with them. the ads and sites decided to push the ads to be genuinely intrusive, thus necessitating adblocks. they brought this upon themselves.
The only banner ad that caught my attention was the one featuring concept art from the bear TV series. It looked like a billboard on a digital screen and was really effective, at least for me.
To do that had the degree offered just make sure to keep your grades up if that go that route instead of blue collar because a lot of schools will make you pay back your schooling if your grades drop below a certain level
There was this one scotch Brite ad I came across while looking up satisfying videos, and it was simply ambient sounds of the guy using the kit to clean a grill.
Only ad I actually like.
I remember the one time a youtube ad actually had something I wanted to buy, it was a "cloud spray" shower head. Couldn't find the product via the info given in the ad. Useless.
Idk about y’all but I actually take note of the products giving me mobile ads and TH-cam ads and specifically avoid buying them in the future when I can.
Especially YT ads.
Advertisers still haven't realised YT vids aren't structured like TV programmes, with a defined and planned pause for the ads baked into the script.
Nothing makes me not want to buy something from an advert more than having the same ad suddenly interrupt my entertainment right as something interesting is happening.
@@Roggor Absolutely. I think marketing online will get significantly better in the future once people understand how to target an audience online. The placement of ads will hopefully get better too.
I think the issue with online advertising is consumers have become numb to it. This is due to an over saturation of it. Frankly the solution would be to actually reduce the amount of ads and focus on quality (funny possibly) sponsored content. More akin to what Duolingo is doing but maybe through influencers
If the ad is annoying enough it will do even worse than no ad at all
The only time i can think of an ad that i intentionally clicked on online was a genuinely really amazing animation for a mobile game (not one of the mass produced ones, hence why is was actually a good quality ad) and even then i didnt download it.
I use AI to proof read my essays for me. Help with word counts and being succinct, give me rough scores based on rubrics but I write it all myself
They do work.
The point of an ad is not to get you to buy something because you saw the ad.
The point of an ad is to get you thinking about a product more. Mental real estate.
i now know how to make a decent living in tha plains
I make sure to enjoy ads as free entertainment while never buying anything, I am costing companies money for free entertainment 😎
Millennial parents are bad about their kids' education because they know from experience that no amount of success or failure will change the outcome: a bleak career prospect.
The last time I clicked on an ad with legitimate interest and not by accident was over 20 years ago
I have an ad blocker that clicks all the ads on the page
Ads that where funny or actually tried to convince people instead of just saying “buy this” used to be the norm and that freaking made sense
My wife is an educator, and this new gen of kids is absolutely wild. They have no self control and the parents couldn't give less of a fuck.
I'm sure there is merit to it simply because COVID messed up a lot of stuff, but also... Every generation and every teacher has been saying this stuff about every new generation since always
@Dschonathan normally I'd agree, but there is analytical evidence showing a decrease in student productivity and/or iq.
@Manofthewoods
What evidence? All the stuff I read seems more mixed that what you present. What sources did you use to come to your conclusion?
@@Manofthewoods.yeah I really doubt that but ok lol
According to the teachers at my kids school my fiancee and I are legit the only parents actually putting in an efforr out of school for our kids' education. Next generation is already cooked. Nobody is going to be smart enough to be a doctor or lawyer.
My TH-cam ads are terrible, I would buy so many disc golf discs and other garbage if they advertised things I actually liked
WHO tells their teacher they’re skipping 😭 they do attendance lil bro
People in honors classes dont use chat gpt to write because it does not do a good enough job to get an A. You can pass the class but not get the 90+ you want. It puts so much incorrect info that you still have to read and understand the book well to go through and correct the poorly written/structured essay. Its not worth the slightly less effort for such a bad outcome.
thats too much of a general statement. its used but the outcome is edited more heavily paired with some own research...
Extremely real. 30-50% of my revenue goes to ads. It’s heartbreaking because there’s so much clear fakes. Especially for the pay per lead. It’s been the biggest emotional struggle starting out.
whats your business
@@lukask2597 electrical
Everytime i see an ad i purposely never buy that product.
I feel for the average chronically online gremlin like me the biggest problem isn't the viruses or posers planning an attack but sinply the constant spam of companies shoving their products in our faces it, unsurprisingly, doesn't make us want to buy it more. I along with plenty of friends feel this way about overly advertised products online and it does nothing but hurt the brand's reputation for us
You should cover the Indian 2024 budget. It's going viral(in a bad way). It screws over the middle class big time. Real estate profit will now be taxed based on face value and not on the profit made after adjusting for inflation. Both short and long term capital gain tax has increased considerably. It's overall really terrible. Everyone is calling the current finance minister the worst in our entire history.
Nobody cares
One of the main traits of Hufflepuffs are hard working so that quote literally didn't make sense. (Yes, I'm a Harry Potter loving millennial). 😅
They do sometimes. Like when the trailer for Sparking Zero came out and got me hyped.
about using chat gpt. my thesis had at least 8 pages of padding, filler, generated by a rudimentary pad-bot called "lero lero generator". it doesn't even come close to chat gpt, but it was enough that with very little editing to insert keywords, i had 8 pages that said literally nothing, and no one noticed. their own fault for making us shoot for a minimum of 120 pages. f*** that.
If you go get your degree and are expecting to never use it you basically wasted 4 years.i started working blue colar right out of high-school witch allowed me to buy a house at 25yo in 2020. If i would've had to wait an extra 4 years id be stuck in 2024 with a housing market who blew up in the last 4 years
Honestly, I actively avoid products that are advertised to me via unskipable TH-cam ads whenever I can avoid it.
School used to be a thing where you fell in line. Those "your kid didn't come to class" robocalls always felt like they came with the implication that the parents were supposed to hear them and use that as an excuse to punish (read: beat) their kids. Remember that capital punishment (read: child abuse) used to be legal in school and now it's not. This generation really isn't about doing that any more. We actively dislike strict hierarchies and if something goes wrong they'll instantly assume the system is the thing failing, not the person. That robs them of basically all of their power, and that's fucking awesome. School should be a place of learning and preparing the next generation for real life, not for grooming your kids into a conservative world view through acts of implicit and explicit violence.
I feel like ads are good when they are informative about products you did not know about. The brands that have enough money to advertise on youtube/online are big enough that everyone knows about them and they have no impact.
The only true digital ad that captured me was for a professional software that was served to me on my personal account. I got my company to get the software after I swapped departments and my boss mentioned the software to me, reminding me again of the software.
I think ppl are getting reason for ads wrong especially within the context of today’s advertisement…….Advertisments mainly exist so that people can create a reaction out of that advertisement (companies mostly want a positive one) which than gets stored in your subconscious and than you don’t even release you have become inclined towards a certain product
Funnily enough, the more I see an ad for something, the less likely I'm to get it.
something you gotta understand about teachers posting online about how they hate kids is that this is just a new generation of teachers that use the internet and social media more
its nothing new that teachers hate their students
and the teachers that hate their students are always the worst teachers, which leads to bad behavior
my experience, only coming back to high school for like 6 months after lock down before college, then dealing with college teachers after lock down, is that teachers have gotten incredibly lazy and less tolerant of kids being annoying, which is part of your job description as a high school or below teacher
one of my college teachers straight up doesnt do anything, he sits on his phone, doesnt teach the class, if you try to go on your phone he tells you to put it away even if youve done the work (on your own, he wont help you) and in one of hte subjects we did with him a student who knew more then him literally had to do half of the subject himself for everyone else in class while the teacher sat on his phone like always. he also failed to check our exams after they came in, and they were unluckily marked very poorly as agreed upon by every other teacher, but because he didnt check them we couldnt get them remarked
from what ive heard from other teachers, he wasnt like this pre lock down, and while hes an extreme example other teachers in college and teacher when i came back to highschool were just clearly not in it
But it does help with brand awareness. Like a coke ad will never make me buy coke but if I wanted to get soda I'd probably think of coke first.
"Kids won't ask to leave they'll just tell you they're leaving"
God fucking this. It's really fucked up how schools manipulate kids into thinking you have to ask for permission, nope. They're not your parents they can't force you to do shit. You just need to let them know your whereabouts and that can be a vague as "i'm leaving" You legally have to go to school and do the work but you don't legally have to stay there beyond that. Once I found that out I did everything I had to do within the first few minutes then fucked off to town for the rest of the class. It's way better than the bullshit they go all "You have to stay here even though you have nothing to do. Why don't you just waste your time with this useless busywork?" I fucking hated that because it was clear they didn't give a shit if you were learning or not they just wanted to have power over you for the however-long a class was.
Then there was this one asshole who actually docked me like 90% of my grades because I no-showed because of something stupid like "disrespect" or whatever. The principle obviously gets graded by how well their teachers do and he actually stepped in to ask "Why is this person who constantly outperforms the rest of the class getting like no marks? Cut it out, it's making me look really bad" and that was the last time they ever gave me trouble. School is supposed to treat you to be a slave but it taught me how to be an anarchist; power always comes from the bottom up and injustice goes unpunished unless you do something about it. Oh and I guess I could go on about how if you fall in line and do what the faculty does you that they'll abuse you, but I think that goes without saying. Every school has at least one creep who uses their authority for their own gross ends and they never seem to lose their jobs for it.
Ads make me angry, I almost never see them with my blockers. If I'm at someone else's place - especially older - I have to hold it in.
I feel so bad for big advertisers like Coca Cola and McDonalds getting scammed out of their hard earned money by middlemen.... i assume that's why they can't pay their workers fair wages?
TH-cam ads and all video ads are white noise to me. ESPECIALLY ALL THE MOBILE GAME ADS OMG! I literally block the advertiser and Google still gives them to me.
Ads exist to just reaffirm a business' status in culture. They're not meant to directly entice you to buy something. They're meant to make them the first thing you think of when you think of a type of product, example, soda (Coke/Pepsi) or cleaning chemical (Mr. Clean).
The second channel video has the same views as the main channel video 😳
1:17 I thought the exact same thing😅
I’m finally get my big a fix! I’ve been so starved
in my entire 32 years of internet, i've never once bought something because of an ad.
but! I've seen, uh... "normies" for the lack of a better expression - hyperlinking from ad to ad. ads work.
I'm an advertiser, and back in 2004 my plan was to get ready for a world dominated by online advertising. i got a degree in publicity, then another one in computer science. i nailed the prediction, the world is dominated by that. but as a consumer, i thought "wow this is horrible. i don't want to contribute to this" and i stopped. i don't work in advertising anymore. i'd rather keep my soul
Look at Red Bull… there’s no way anyone related to sports or esports doesn’t know them.
the enron hat is crazy
I feel like melenial parents are extremely engaged with their children’s success and education up until middle school or around 6th grade where it seems they kind of let go and let them go and do their own thing. I personally think this is a good thing giving kids the room to grow and change themselves plus there isn’t much for parents to do after that poont
At that point dealing with the effects of puberty is quite critical, at the very least to avoid trouble at school.
I also think ads are always scams. I went on a cruise, and there were somehow still sexy single women 15 miles from me. I don’t get it.
While I’m done with college now, I chose to not use chat gpt on my essays that last year when I could have, but that’s because I was specifically in school for writing (and as a writer I know I’m better than ai slop because that shit isn’t great)
I actually wrote my whole thesis on my own but I didn’t hit minimum page mark and I basically used chat gpt to add more words, just that, I was so pissed, my text uniqueness was like 99% and then I hear that crap about minimum pages.
6:05 schools now use AI to detect chatgpt and plagiarism... with that said, if you know how to talk with gpt, he can output clean writting that dont get detected by AI detectors like turnitin 🤣 dont ask me how i know
6:58 HANG ON HOLD THE PHONE
When did people ask for absences at school? If my ass is sick, I’m telling you that I won’t be there lol
