Trump has bought out the Youtube masthead for the next four days. Lol. Every time some Democrat goes to https://www.youtube.com/ the Orange Man will be telling them how much they suck.

Why would I steal content? I'm not a thief.

Oh I see. I understand. Personally I am not a thief, I am more of an "exempted observer", sort of like the Architect character from The Matricks except total bottom.

You're only getting those ads because google knows how likely you are to click and engage with Trump stuff.

When I literally physically turn on my ads (lol), I get different completely non-political stuff.

Also, it's not stealing content. You have every right not to look at a billboard you pass on the freeway. Youtube sent an encoded ad to my computer. I simply told my browser to look away. Even so, if that ad had shown up, I'd have never noticed it anyway. My big throbbing posterior parietal visual association area literally filters advertising out of my consciousness.

Using a VPN and Chrome incognito mode, I got the ad, so I don't think it's based on any targeting... unless people in Chrome incognito using the same VPN IP watch a lot of conservative stuff...

Having said that... the only reason I wen't incognito in Chrome is because my adblocker blocks all this crap on my normal Chrome.

Banner ads are so 90s. For boomers & soccer moms who don't adblock, this is a great move.

I love in The Simpsons where Homer insists on the family watching the adverts as not to do so would be “Stealing Television”. The shot then goes through the window to show they have an illegal cable stealing from their neighbour’s connection.

It raises a question; why are legitimate subscribers paying to watch advertisements?
