God…whenever I use the device of a relative and see that there are no ad blockers on their yt, it is literally unwatchable. 90 second ads every 90 seconds, I swear, interrupting what’s going on in the video mid sentence. I have absolutely zero clue how people tolerate that.
People complain about cable TV ads, but unfiltered YouTube is absolutely an abomination to mankind.
As a young adult man, seeing an ad for diapers designed for elderly women doesn’t entice me to buy them. I’m also not buying a new car after seeing every ad for a car. I know of Liberty Mutual by way of their advertisements but I’m not in the market for buying an emu so they won’t get my business.
Why did we suddenly change from “thinking that advertising is fine is absolutely a mental illness” to “advertisers can successfully cause tons of damage”?
I don’t see a lot of reasons for such a shift away from the point.
If advertising to you didn’t work then advertisers wouldn’t be doing it.
Not all advertising is equal. Yes, increasing awareness pays off.
That doesn’t mean your product putting a one minute ad up on YouTube that gets pasted in front of a 10 second cat video will have a positive response.
why are you seeing ads on youtube?
This is about the efficacy of ads and where they really don’t shine, not how to block them.

Of course it works, it is hacking your brain into buying shit you don’t need.
It works on everyone who is human.
Doesn’t make it any more moral though.
Is that not what I said?
Advertising does not work equally well on everyone. It’s literally a numbers game.
