You're talking about the "10-second morning (or evening) hack" that shows an ice cube being rubbed on a wrist or a slurry of turmeric is mixed up but somehow the explainer video takes 25 minutes to view and it goes on to advertise a supplement?
Love how you can “block” a scam add and it literally just keeps coming back over and over again. The “block” option on TH-cam has never worked and I question why that is.
Right?! TH-cam does state that only the specific ad you’ve requested to block will be blocked, but you may still receive ads from that same advertiser. My guess is that the advertiser/s somehow managed to get identical ads to pass as being separate from each other. (If there are any subtle differences in identical ads, they’re often undetectable). Another possibility is that the same ad may come from “different” advertisers (all under the same company) as a way to skirt the rules. If it’s not some dubious trickery on the advert’s end, then it’s TH-cam outright ignoring block requests. This would mean that the option is only there to placate those demanding more control over what ads they see while not actually doing squat. [edited to correct typos]
You can also try to block unwanted emails from companies… the result? The same company is using software that circumvents the block and is still able to send you unwanted emails to your gmail.
In France, it's illegal to show drugs & gambling ads on TV. However now I see them everywhere when I opened TH-cam with heavy French Canadian accents. I think the way they do it is saying they are technically showing us Canadian ads and not French ads which is why they are allowed but either way even legal, I find TH-cam ads less and less ethical by the day.
what kind of ads do you get on youtube france. What would be a constant ad there that you can't escape. In my country which is not even a french speaking country and doesn't even use the french roman alphabet we get the ad for Wix in french, which is so weird, because Wix is and Indian company and my country is in Asia and yet the ad for an Indian company in an Asian country is shown in French.
As somebody who grew up with truth in advertising ads all the time and the house, hippo I’m absolutely appalled. That fake ads are so prevalent on TH-cam. What truth in advertising live only apply to television and radio broadcast. It has nothing to do with Internet.
And you gotta ask yourself why on God's green earth would anyone show you how to exploit a government's loophole to get some grant money lol if they have not exploited it themselves? Completely ridiculous 😂😂
I literally just got an ad for a dating site, it says and I quote, "In this app, girls do not hesitate and put your sausage in their mouth." I'm horrified youtube has come to a point where it allows blatant sexual advertisement on their site.
Seriously!!!! I was listening to a video (not that loud) it cut to an ad stating how my husband was able to get hard using this one trick. I was mortified. I can’t believe TH-cam allows these CGI/AI created ads that are completely inappropriate.
Sometimes, I wonder how effective can be for sales to be the product that keeps annoying the viewers/potential customers by constantly preventing them from enjoying what they were trying to watch.
Lol hahaha, let me guess on your phone (iPhone) where side loading modded apps is difficult, while on android its easy and seamless. On my end I never have to worry about ADs or sponsors marketed by TH-camrs. #AndroidFreedom
Its getting worse. When you see a $150-$2000 electric bike being listed on TH-cam for $30 on a website that you've never heard of but shows best buy or another well known store. There's something wrong. And there's absolutely no way to report them
Those are the worst ones! Where it's an obvious scam, but you can't skip or report it to get it taken down! And TH-cam would rather knock down ways that people can watch their content in peace than actually taking down these ads!
Honestly I report the most annoying ads as child pornography as it forces the TH-cam algorithm and moderators to put a stall on the ad until it can be reviewed. If anytime you feel like an ad is annoying just label it as child pornography, it forces TH-cam to waste time to review it, the algorithm automatically recognizes ‘child pornography’ as a critical violation and will take at least temporary actions against the ad. I tried it on those annoying V shred scam advertisements and it finally got the ad off when I watch TH-cam videos.
You can actually still report ads? I haven't been able to do that in 2 or 3 years. The option to report ads is just not there anymore. Maybe it depends on the platform you're watching TH-cam on.
I’d argue not to do this as it takes valuable resources away from monitoring child abuse. The goal of these reports should be to remove the abuse video as soon as possible. False flags run the risk of these abuse videos staying up longer (since as you said, the claims go through a manual review). I agree that TH-cam needs a bigger reporting system, but this is not the way to approach scams.
Except for models where the product is free and they game you into buying tons of things to enhance your use of the product like mobile games and gacha games.
There is a never ending war with our subconsciousness that is inevitably pushing our minds to become faster at predicting advertising transitions. So far, the only impressions I am willing to allow are product placements weaved into the storyline of the show I may be watching. I use a dns filter, an ad blocker, and pay for YT Premium Family. If I am watching something with unskippable ads I will mute the device I am watching on while simultaneously look away. A lifetime of advertising harassment has forced me to evolve and adapt. I am thankful that my biggest threat in my life is advertising, unlike my ancestors who may have had more life threatening problems.
_"I am thankful that my biggest threat in my life is advertising, unlike my ancestors who may have had more life threatening problems."_ well when you put it that way, it is kind of nice to not worry about wild animals invading the tent and eating us. especially those damnable two-legged animals.

@@frankvonfrauner That was a bit of a joke. (Somehow, you missed an event, where YT removed a whole country from its ad system, because another country was using it for their PsyOps)
When I can do so at convenience, I put the phone down, let the scam ad run, and do something else meanwhile. That way these suckers get to pay full price!
Right now, my favorite stupid ad is the “Guide to Rebuilding Civilization”. It’s beyond stupid. They have an advertisement telling you that you could make penicillin and other antibiotics among other things. It’s mostly just a stupid picture book.
Click on ads for things you hate. I've been doing this for years, and it still brings me satisfaction. It also puts more of those shitty ads in front of you to click on more of them. Win-Win
If that'll help prematurely end the ad, I might start doing that, even if the total time is longer than just waiting. It just feels a little more productive that way.
@@FlotationDevice101 no, itd end up being shown to less people as clicking on the ad link costs the ad company more, using up their advertisement budgets faster
I absolutely hate ads that are longer than 30 seconds. Why, well when I watch on my TV where I don't have an ad blocker (yet) and if I am doing something else, the ad becomes annoying because they are always scam ads. Ads that are multiple hours long are just plain sad that they accept them, even the ones that are multiple minute ads
One thing I noticed when telling youtube to block a certain ad is that when I looked at the info for the advertiser, they were not yet verified meaning anyone can place ads
I miss targeted advertising. It's been YEARS since TH-cam has shown me an ad that made me feel like they understand my tastes. Meanwhile they're getting much better at finding me relevant new youtubers to subscribe to. It's so inconsistent. I also miss getting ads for video games. All I get anymore are religious videos (I'm not religious) medication ads (I boycott pharma) food kit & delivery ads (I literally cook for a living) toys (I don't have kids), etc. This makes me even MORE likely to hit the skip button.
On this note, after watching the Unus Annus "Pee Soda" episode in which Mark and Ethan use a fancy soda making machine to make the aforementioned type of soda, I got hounded relentlessly to buy the soda machine. I don't want the pee soda machine after watching that video!
I very rarely buy because of ads! I use that time to go to the fridge & or & bathroom break & so may not click on skip ad icon. I minimalist lifestyle can be a great one! Someone said "one buys things to only to impress others!"
This video makes me grateful for ad block. But it also makes me wonder if I could mess with advertisers but having videos on autoplay with ad block off when I'm not at my computer. Probably wouldn't be enough to matter, but after so many ads everywhere, I want a way to push back.
Just watched an ad made by some AI program, about a famous rich dude selling some businessclass online. It is fake and the rich dude never did that ad. I would say that is 100% scam, it is starting to get really shady
I think the audience can pick up that I’m talking about the scam ads from TH-cam like get rich quick bs, not good companies like HelloFresh. And thanks! Appreciate it
Unpopular opinion: whenever I see one of those scam ads, I let the ad run until the end. Result: scam company pays much more for the ad (it's paid by the seconds) and video channel owner makes nice money.
I just wanted to know why people buy ANYTHING they see advertised on a TH-cam ad? Don't people with money already know what they want and where to get it? Who ARE these people who keep buying things from Temu etc?? How do companies like Dominos even know if their advertising works? I just buy food from shops nearby to me. If I watched A MILLION DOMINOS ADS but there wasn't a branch nearby I would NEVER buy from Dominos. Ever. So many questions...
Adsense also is really asymmetrical. I tried to put ads on my website (it's a calculator), and it got rejected because it had no privacy policy. So I added one and tried again and they still rejected it. It's stupid.
The crucial part here is "there is no way for automated systems to make this decision". You're right, and that, coupled with the fact that Google/TH-cam can easily afford to hire enough people to vet EVERY advertisement put forward for transmission, BEFORE it is approved to be put on the platform, means that TH-cam and Google are failing to do so because they are shitheads as a company, not because its impractical or impossible. The bottom line here is that profit is a term we accept the misuse of on a daily basis. A company like TH-cam protecting its profits by failing to prevent the sorts of abuse its advertisers engage in, is typical, but far from acceptable. Profit is a word that should ONLY be used to describe the money left over in a company, once every single cost of doing business has been paid, including the cost associated with correcting the presence of dodgy ads. It ISN'T protecting profit, to avoid spending money doing the things you are supposed to do.
If I want to support a channel and the ad is short enough, I’ll watch a couple ads here or there. What I’d love to know is do I also have to wait for that little circle at the end to fill in while the call to action link is presented or can I skip at that point and make sure the creator still gets credited with the ad view?

TH-cam acts like their hands are clean and have no responsibility for scams posted on their front page. Their thought is, if you're stupid enough to purchase something that sounds too good to be true, it's your fault, not ours. And we're not going to review any display ads on our front page, unless somebody starts bitching about how they got scammed. And our company won't remove a display ad, even if it sounds to good to be true to us, that's up to you. Well keep that ad going for months. Why? Because there are no laws saying we have to protect our subscribers from fraudulent ads we place on our front page. We're immune from prosecution because we say so. So, if you got scammed out of money from an ad on our front page TOUGH LUCK SUCKER!
With all the resources and tools available, I haven't seen an advertisement in years. Even sponsors in videos are blocked. Imagine watching an advert in 2022.
When it comes to investing, we want our money to grow with the highest rates of return, and the lowest risk possible. While there are no shortcuts to getting rich, but there are smart ways to go about it.
I pay for Premium since TH-cam is what I use the most for my entertainment and I like long-form content. Try watching a 40 minute video with ads every ten minutes 😣 And as fucked up as it might be, I'm half tempted to begin skipping over the TH-camr sponsorships as well.
@@cindymora6714 It’s pretty simple but you have to be diligent. You skip anything that isn’t 15 seconds and you always watch 15 second ads.

You're talking about the "10-second morning (or evening) hack" that shows an ice cube being rubbed on a wrist or a slurry of turmeric is mixed up but somehow the explainer video takes 25 minutes to view and it goes on to advertise a supplement?
I feel like this should be grounds for a lawsuit. There's no way yt doesn't know these are scams
Absolutely.. but they don't care cos it's feeding their greed, that's the problem.
Let’s start a class action lawsuit
Love how you can “block” a scam add and it literally just keeps coming back over and over again. The “block” option on TH-cam has never worked and I question why that is.
Right?!
TH-cam does state that only the specific ad you’ve requested to block will be blocked, but you may still receive ads from that same advertiser.
My guess is that the advertiser/s somehow managed to get identical ads to pass as being separate from each other. (If there are any subtle differences in identical ads, they’re often undetectable).
Another possibility is that the same ad may come from “different” advertisers (all under the same company) as a way to skirt the rules.
If it’s not some dubious trickery on the advert’s end, then it’s TH-cam outright ignoring block requests. This would mean that the option is only there to placate those demanding more control over what ads they see while not actually doing squat.
[edited to correct typos]
You can also try to block unwanted emails from companies… the result? The same company is using software that circumvents the block and is still able to send you unwanted emails to your gmail.
With you 'engaging' with the ad, the algorithm probably thinks you like it ;)
In France, it's illegal to show drugs & gambling ads on TV. However now I see them everywhere when I opened TH-cam with heavy French Canadian accents. I think the way they do it is saying they are technically showing us Canadian ads and not French ads which is why they are allowed but either way even legal, I find TH-cam ads less and less ethical by the day.
If I see another Leo Vegas ad I'm gonna rip open some new assholes.
Cheeky bastards
They're putting content above all else. You can't find truth or evidence when bombarded by propaganda. TH-cam is working exactly as intended.
what kind of ads do you get on youtube france. What would be a constant ad there that you can't escape.
In my country which is not even a french speaking country and doesn't even use the french roman alphabet we get the ad for Wix in french, which is so weird, because Wix is and Indian company and my country is in Asia and yet the ad for an Indian company in an Asian country is shown in French.

"Seeing a ad, avoid the product". Is the only way to fightback against it.
Sometimes, I wonder how effective can be for sales to be the product that keeps annoying the viewers/potential customers by constantly preventing them from enjoying what they were trying to watch.
4:56 You made me watch 2 of those 6 second unskippable ads, you monster, thanks for the video
Lol hahaha, let me guess on your phone (iPhone) where side loading modded apps is difficult, while on android its easy and seamless. On my end I never have to worry about ADs or sponsors marketed by TH-camrs. #AndroidFreedom
Why
Its getting worse. When you see a $150-$2000 electric bike being listed on TH-cam for $30 on a website that you've never heard of but shows best buy or another well known store. There's something wrong.
And there's absolutely no way to report them
Those are the worst ones! Where it's an obvious scam, but you can't skip or report it to get it taken down!
And TH-cam would rather knock down ways that people can watch their content in peace than actually taking down these ads!
Honestly I report the most annoying ads as child pornography as it forces the TH-cam algorithm and moderators to put a stall on the ad until it can be reviewed. If anytime you feel like an ad is annoying just label it as child pornography, it forces TH-cam to waste time to review it, the algorithm automatically recognizes ‘child pornography’ as a critical violation and will take at least temporary actions against the ad. I tried it on those annoying V shred scam advertisements and it finally got the ad off when I watch TH-cam videos.
You can actually still report ads? I haven't been able to do that in 2 or 3 years. The option to report ads is just not there anymore. Maybe it depends on the platform you're watching TH-cam on.
problem is, most ads if not all can’t be reported in most places here now so you can’t do anything about them
Don't do this 💀
I’d argue not to do this as it takes valuable resources away from monitoring child abuse. The goal of these reports should be to remove the abuse video as soon as possible. False flags run the risk of these abuse videos staying up longer (since as you said, the claims go through a manual review).
I agree that TH-cam needs a bigger reporting system, but this is not the way to approach scams.

There is a never ending war with our subconsciousness that is inevitably pushing our minds to become faster at predicting advertising transitions.
So far, the only impressions I am willing to allow are product placements weaved into the storyline of the show I may be watching.
I use a dns filter, an ad blocker, and pay for YT Premium Family. If I am watching something with unskippable ads I will mute the device I am watching on while simultaneously look away.

Right now, my favorite stupid ad is the “Guide to Rebuilding Civilization”. It’s beyond stupid. They have an advertisement telling you that you could make penicillin and other antibiotics among other things. It’s mostly just a stupid picture book.

Literally got a scam ad when I clicked on this video
The crucial part here is "there is no way for automated systems to make this decision". You're right, and that, coupled with the fact that Google/TH-cam can easily afford to hire enough people to vet EVERY advertisement put forward for transmission, BEFORE it is approved to be put on the platform, means that TH-cam and Google are failing to do so because they are shitheads as a company, not because its impractical or impossible. The bottom line here is that profit is a term we accept the misuse of on a daily basis. A company like TH-cam protecting its profits by failing to prevent the sorts of abuse its advertisers engage in, is typical, but far from acceptable. Profit is a word that should ONLY be used to describe the money left over in a company, once every single cost of doing business has been paid, including the cost associated with correcting the presence of dodgy ads. It ISN'T protecting profit, to avoid spending money doing the things you are supposed to do.
I report scam ads everyday and nothing is ever done.
This doesn't explain why the ads that are clearly fake and scams like a completely unaffiliated companies selling products they don't own.
If I want to support a channel and the ad is short enough, I’ll watch a couple ads here or there.

Their thought is, if you're stupid enough to purchase something that sounds too good to be true, it's your fault, not ours. And we're not going to review any display ads on our front page, unless somebody starts bitching about how they got scammed.
And our company won't remove a display ad, even if it sounds to good to be true to us, that's up to you. Well keep that ad going for months. Why?
Because there are no laws saying we have to protect our subscribers from fraudulent ads we place on our front page. We're immune from prosecution because we say so. So, if you got scammed out of money from an ad on our front page
TOUGH LUCK SUCKER!
Totally agree with you, I am sure this is the reason why so many people hate the ads, it's a scammers paradise.
