Ads on Youtube...

[Super Lloyd]

Yes, I watch Youtube, yes I don't have an ad blocker, my bad. Anyway, I thought it was a small price to pay to give a little something back to the channels I watch... But really, Gaia? Really? It just happens I was watching this video titled "Why do people think Aliens build the pyramids", and boom I got an ad from Gaia about Ancient Aliens. During that video of all time, wtf is the AI thinking? It's like 7 times this week. Gaia is a paying streaming service, people pay for this shit! OMG! this is even more aggravating that ads for evil political party... :mad: I swear it, the ads on Youtube have become increasingly stupid as of late... :omg: (but, on a positive news, I am happy with the selection of video picked by the algorithm. How strange then, that they pick their ads so badly)

Here here... I suggest AdBlock, it's free unless you do premium

u could watch random videos once in a while and also subscribe to some random channels plus you could reset your ad tracker id periodically and set ad to non personalized also there is Adblock for Youtube extention for chromium and chrome also you could use pie hole or have a dns https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock-for-youtube/cmedhionkhpnakcndndgjdbohmhepckk/reviews https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/youtube?\_category=extensions

How do you do that? As to ad-blocker, I am not sure whether I tried once and it was suboptimal and I justify myself later, or if I prefer to have ads in order to sponsor whatever I am watching... either way, today, I rather not use ads blocker.

you can do that from https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated?hl=en the id reset i think is for the youtube app, so you have to do it their in the privacy settings.. watching random videos and subscribing to random add noise to the algo. you can have multiple browsers like chrome /chromium and setup ad block on one of them and try not on your main browser if u wish

Actually I went back to that page again in a more refresh state of mind. Totally underestimated it originally! I was able to get rid of the top 2 obnoxious ads, yeah! Might have to study that page gain to remove more stuff! :D Thanks heaps man! :)

Interesting. As a side note, I am not entirely against ads, since they pay (minutely?) the youtuber. But ads are becoming more and more obnoxious. As in 2 in a row, longer, and increasingly poor taste - like they purposely target me with things I don't like hoping perhaps, I will finally click them this time!? (I guess this is the push for youtube red... nut I resisted and subscribe to Nebula instead!)
