AdSense through Google, (which also services RUclips) is the biggest advertising service on the planet a title it has held for over a decade. According to the companies 2020 filings they generated 147 billion dollars in revenue from online advertising.
This included everything from banners on websites to the ad that you watched before this video started. It’s a great business model and it finances the free google powered services that we all take for granted, I mean who here pays for their personal email?
But there is a problem with these ads that is very different from what you might see on traditional television, or on the radio, or in a newspaper (if you are still old school enough to read those).
Ads on RUclips just seem to be full of scams.
I wasn’t sure if this was just me, but a recent community poll revealed I am not alone, and I wanted to figure out why.
Whether its some hustle bro telling you how you can make a million dollars a month by day trading, or a mobile game ad that is showing gameplay that looks literally nothing like the game itself, its all very questionable.
So it’s time to learn How Money Works

I think it’s clear that the type of scammy ads I’m talking about are much different that legit companies like HelloFresh.
@@LadyCucco what the fuck are you smoking? big difference between hello fresh + being able to handpick your own sponsors ethically (see: Jake Tran), and then being forced to watch stupid adsense because you watched a Valuetainment video that one time.
HelloFresh is the biggest trash you can advertise, besides money scams.
@@adriel68 nope it's acceptable for me
@@adriel68 He doesn't really bash ads just explains them and points out how online ads are even more specific than TV ads and how they take advantage of the larger options.
What you did not mention, and I wish that you had, is that there seems to be absolutely no way to report scammy adverts on RUclips.
Very true. And It also feels like there's nothing really being done about these scammers using loopholes of ridiculous length and etc...
Which makes sense, bc RUclips knows which side their bread is buttered on.
But it also makes no sense, bc it devalues the entire platform for legitimate advertisers, which must know overcome the assumption that ad = scam. 😕
There is actually: click on the three dots next to the advertiser's name, then on "why am I seeing this ad" and there you will have a report button.
Doesn't seem like they do all that much about those ads tho.
@@yuvalne
That's odd. I have in the past tried clicking on "why am I seeing this ad?" but never found the report button on the site that opens. Time for glasses?
I personally assume all youtube ads are fraud, because youtube allows outright phishing disguised as legitimate companies. (Fake Facebook ads, "double Old School Runescape XP", etc not affiliated with the real company meant to steal passwords. )
RUclips: We would rather crack down on adbock than block our scam ads.
Cracking down the protection measures against their peoblem rather than solving their own problem. That's very disgusting
Scamtube. We need a better place to chill
exactly, nowadays that youtube slow down on purpose for adblock users
Seems logical. Scam adds pay them money. Ad blockers prevent them from making money.
Peertube. Spread it. @@RenegadeZulu
Problem with ads on youtube is that Google doesnt care whether they are scams or not as long as they re getting paid. I feel they should be held legally responsible for content of their ads that are running because they are content much like any other content on youtube. They are very strict with content creators but very lenient with ad content because to them, ads are their main cash cow not the content creator.
They have been testing the waters for years. They know they can get away with it with no accountability and even if they are held accountable, the fine is so incredibly tiny for them
We've had years of Elsagate-like mobile game ads, & now Elsagame style videos are back, & they're not doing anything about this either because these types of videos generate money & media outlets haven't caught on yet.
Now there are car insurance and bank scam ads running. I'm talking about literal scams where identity theft is a few clicks away.
@@VVVVV99611 I wonder about that. False advertising is against the law in Poland. What did I get recently on the app? Get-rich-fast scams, and some fear-mongering about democrats bringing in energy armageddon. Did I mention I am in Poland?
if the free market of ideas gets overrun with thugs and grifters, screeching barkers, and snake oil liars, it HURTS EVERY BUSINESS' BOTTOM LINE. It hurts society. It terrorizes the customers.
Clean up your marketplace, youtube.
For some reason the algorithm thinks I'm loaded and I get advertisements for Bentley, yachts and private jets. I still wonder why it think I can afford any of that, but it's at least more pleasant to look at than scammer commercials.
I guess you feel lucky.
I would xD
coz u love watching a lot of car reviews, rich people toys, food, stuff, etc on youtube and other platforms
Reassuring, in a way, that they don't know enough about you to get the ads right
the"algorhythm" just thinks im a gullible fool I'm offended and im gonna sue
I get a lot of Grammarly but is more pleasant than those stupid, "I got a special meditation technique to manifest money" or "special technique to sell nothing in Amazon but become rich".
I was listening to a video on headphones while mowing the lawn. The audio abruptly cut to a vifferent video. I thought it was an ad so I just let it play. 5 minutes later it was still going. I pulled the phone out of my pocket thinking i had accidentally skipped to an ad video or something and it proudly proclaimed that I was 5 minutes into a 3 HOUR AD that was in a 26 minute video. I can say that no one saw the end of that ad.
I've had similar (30+min ads). I leave it running, and get a new device to continue with what I was listening to/watching. They can pay for the damn ad.
_"I can say that no one saw the end of that ad."_
You don't really know! Some of the ads are more entertaining than the show they're sponsoring!!
@TheOneWhoMightBe LOL this is the way
watched a video on hasidic jews in brooklyn and got an hour-long ad of some cult trying to convert me lol
I've seen a hand full of ads that looked like full length videos from another channel.
I was listening to a music Playlist that I curated when suddenly a song started playing that I didn't recognize. It was an ad for another channel.
I've also noticed this. Around 3 out of 5 ads are actually links to scams. Surely RUclips can do a better job at preventing these ads?
Yes they can but they care about money more than people.
@@codewarrior145 Google chrome is supposed to be open source.
in an unregulated marketplace there is no incentive to destroy your source of income. youtube is run on ads. only governmental regulation can stop it. and since the american people react to regulation like a vampire confronted with a cross, i don't see anything happening.
chromium is open source, chrome is chromium with google crap in it.
@@codewarrior145 Yes they do we are a dollar sign not a person.
Not being able to discern which ad is a scam right away is one thing. Keeping the same ad on the platform for months despite being reported to is another thing. RUclips does the latter, A LOT.
Pretty sure the advertisers change acount & location. They have to find a way to crack this down...
@@wisico640I reported clearly fraudulent deepfake ads and they were all deemed within guidelines. It feels like someone tries to push short term numbers sacrificing reputation and valuation. You can sell your reputation for a pretty penny but once it's gone, it's gone.
We need to start really talking with Google about these fake ads. Especially the ones that lie about a 4th stimulus check. There isn't one and all the ads link you to a website that isn't associated with the IRS which is the ONLY place you should be able to get one if they passed one, which they won't.
At least google should make sure there is truth in advertising.
They do take them down only after enough money has been made. 2+ million? Some Huffington post article confronted them on it and got many shut down. The llc owner associated with them just continues on like nothing happened though.
I mean I get people want easy money but geez have some integrity
Come on AI Joe Rogan said it was real
@@Spencer_Bmy favorite is the one about the government distracting you with news about UFOs to keep the public about knowing about the free government stimulus 😂
Lol I got one of those on the midroll ad experiment in the video. Actually one of those ads led me to google the title of the video and that's how I ended up here.
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
In France, it's illegal to show drugs & gambling ads on TV. However now I see them everywhere when I opened RUclips 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 RUclips 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. RUclips 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.
@@kachi2782 That's just wild dude
Love how you can “block” a scam add and it literally just keeps coming back over and over again. The “block” option on RUclips has never worked and I question why that is.
Right?!
RUclips 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 RUclips 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]
I'm constantly given dropshipping ads and ads from guys who are "passionate about real estate". I hate both of these things. I actually miss when they invaded my privacy to target ads better.
I always jokingly complain: “if you are going to steal my info you could at least give me ads for things I can afford” xd
I especially hate those "The dental profession doesn't want you to know" gum disease ads. They can go on FOREVER!!
Just ignore the obvious click-bait, now that you know how to recognize them.
Mute them and do something else on another tab. Then they paid full price for NOTHING
Just curious, why aren't you guys using any kind of ad blockers then?
@@UncaAlbyGmail I just ignore all ads. I just assume they're all scams or shitty products.
@@FlotationDevice101 it’s hard to find a god ad blocker especially on browser where some don’t work

"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 RUclipsrs. #AndroidFreedom
Why
If the product is free, you're the product.
Shouldn'r the sting be more like: If the product is free, YOU are paying it
What about FOSS?
Preach
@@dodiloi No, he got it right.
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.
Its getting worse. When you see a $150-$2000 electric bike being listed on RUclips 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
HMW: "let's watch an ad together right now"
*RUclips actually shows an ad*
Me: *skips*
HMW: "you skipped that last ad, didn't you?"
Me: "yes 🙃"
If you report the unskipable ads, you skip them too
"let's watch an ad together right now"
I get 2 ads =))))
I wasn't given the option, and I was shown 2 of 'em T-T
No, because I was eating chips and didn't want to get grease on my trackpad...
I just use an AdBlocker, most websites are so full of ads anymore that they're unusable without an AdBlocker. I use an AdBlocker on RUclips also because it's gotten so full of ads is ridiculous
Leave youtube for 5 min and come back. U-block origin will show 999 blocked adds.
When you work for a big company and have to use the web to look something up, it's painful.
@@512TheWolf512 You should talk to your company manager that deals with PC and tell him that adds are security risk and ask for addblock and no-script to be installed on every pc.
@@Bullminator where I worked, the new browsers that supported AdBlock didn't properly work with the company's intranet. That's a huge problem for this. And you couldn't install any software on your own for any reason. It's all pretty complicated
And the creators seems to all have their own embedded ads anyway, so the youtube ads doesn't really matter.
RUclips fully supports scammers as they're one too
The thing that puzzles me a bit is, what is it about my viewing habits that communicates that I’d be dumb enough to fall for these scams in the first place?
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."_

I would recommend pairing a Bluetooth device when an ad is displayed, except AirPods and such that stop the playback if one of both headphones are removed.
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.
This is highly disturbing on RUclips’s part. The AI used makes them appear legit which is dangerous for young people (particularly) trying to get ahead. All for a quick buck! Shame on you RUclips! 🤬🤬
Hold them accountable I guess, there should be a clear distinction between websites made by amateurs for personal use and corporate websites with subsidiaries and such
Nothing quite hits like getting a set of Tai Lopez and Grant Cardone ads right before watching this video
I'm here in my garage. Next to my Lamborghini, but you know what I like more than my Lamborghini? *KNOWLEDGE*
Stop being a hustle bro, and you won't get hustled, bro.
RUclips doesn't care if you click on scammer's ad or real ad as long as they are generating money.
I haven't seen an ad in years on the internet. Get adblock. Get it forever. Even if it reduces functionality of your browser, get adblock! In video ads are okay because I know that the person who made the video approves of the ad and has vetted it, and also they can sometimes be pretty funny and interesting. And that that channel got the money, as opposed to RUclips leeching it for themselves.
Yeah youtube is basically a commodity and don't provide any service to the content creators...
Phone ads.
@@ddd4040 There is adblock for phones. I alsp use that, though you probably need a dedicated browser for that
@@TheNewRobotMaster can you give sime examples? I don't know of any
@@ddd4040 The one I use is literally called "Adblock Browser". It's from the people who made the Adblock Plus extension. Works on Android; don't know about Apple.

Firefox for Android with adblock extension, use RUclips website instead of the app. I switched to this method over a year ago and haven't looked back.

Honestly I report the most annoying ads as child pornography as it forces the RUclips 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 RUclips 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 RUclips 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 RUclips 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 RUclips needs a bigger reporting system, but this is not the way to approach scams.
In the past year or recent months, RUclips seems to have changed how to report an ad playing on a video, making it much more cryptic to figure how to do it with a TINY thing to click that opens a browser with the report options. It really got much harder, which is obviously the reason they changed it. But YT simply does not care about scammy and fraudulent ads. Seems once the ad has gone thru whatever basic automated or 3rd world worker screening process, YT just cares about the money. It will backfire over time. There are sites and ways to avoid the ads because of the demand created by YT's abuse and greed. Billionaires are evil and unethical by definition, and probably even ones who promise to give it away over time.
Honestly it was probably done by middle manager to improve KPIs.
Imagine if RUclips was ethical and had a button that easily reported scams... can't.... too hard.
There are soooooomany scammers on RUclips. Makes me hate RUclips that they endorse this stuff.
I came here because I've had it with these scam ads I just don't understand how this is legal
The scam ads I've been seeing are advertising free money from the government that doesn't exist. What's the deal with those?
They censor information but allow scammers?
This channel shares valuable information relevant to recent times. so I appreciate it and I am subscribing to this channel.
I started blocking ads in 2012. It's mad how utterly unusable the internet is without it
I know some sites are unusable with a barrage of ads.
And then you get blocked from sites if adblock is on
@@GamingTranceSeer There are many different types of adblocker I use on youtube for many years.
Now I ignore all commercials on RUclips and will not even consider using,buying their products.
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 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
Thank you for reminding me how much I appreciate ad-blockers.
I’ve been just shown a scam ad on RUclips. This MUST BE ILLEGAL
I miss targeted advertising. It's been YEARS since RUclips 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.
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!
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
😅😅so the company pays for a useless advert coz you will never buy the product anyway😅savage
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.
@@davianoinglesias5030 LOL imma start doing that
But wouldn't that help the ad to be shown to other people too, so it can hook more audience in the long run
@@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 don’t even report ads anymore because it’s such a damn hassle to do so. They make you go through a form and require a summary typed up for something they don’t care/will never change
Totally agree with you, I am sure this is the reason why so many people hate the ads, it's a scammers paradise.
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.
I've noticed a funny pattern in ads lately. It went HAM on political misinformation several months ago, and then ads stopped showing altogether.
That's all you. I don't think I've ever gotten a political ad and I watch a ton of politics/current events stuff
@@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)
I love it when channels complain about being demonitized but videos still seem to be activating ads...
My ad before video
“ the government is giving out $3600 a MONTH sign up for the program now”
AWFUL, DISGUSTING, OBNOXIOUS: I refuse ads personalisation but they still believe they're targeting me. I'LL NEVER ever buy anything they advertise. Annoying .
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!
Funnily enough this is the one video that did not have an ad for me to watch before it started.
Also nice touch with the Tim and Eric universe clip. Truly a man of knowledge
The one problem with scamed is when I’m trying to sleep and suddenly somebody comes on saying how I can make $1000 a day from home like I want to listen to my sleep videos but it’s hard when I get a ad every 3 mins
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/RUclips 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 RUclips 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 RUclips 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.
One ad literally told me the US was imminently about to fall and society was days away from collapsing. What the actual fu-
im getting quite a few ads on how to protect yourself from nuclear war and flooding as a result whatever that is about im only watching videos on nuclear power.
Those 6,400 subsidy ads are driving me crazy
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?
little hint ads runs on channels that are demonetized or never got monetized youtube takes all the revenue. you want to support a channel look for a patreon link in the descrip text box the video. you can do one time donations on patreon if you read the faq

I now use RUclips premium so I never see these ridiculous ads anymore. I've seen so many false and misleading ads in the past that I wondered how they got through any kind of sensible checks and balances.
But most of youtubers do in video ads. Like this video is sponsored by blablabla. I hate that. I dont care about any product at all. If i wanna buy something, i search it for myself.
Well, they do. Just look at this scammer who says nothing except hitmeup. Right beneath your commentary. I am fairly sure this is an incarnation of the get rich schemes that I noticed in the last weeks, because it uses the same pattern. And after promising money (to be stolen from you) got them banned, they have started the mystery show.
@@gabbyn978 I've seen a theory on the scam bots in comment sections not being regulated properly because it inflates engagement for YT? I mean doesn't seem far fetched when a single guy can make a script to scrub them out with great efficiency that anyone can implement on their channel.

I've been paying for youtube premium for several years so I forgot this website even had ads... can't stand those and that feature alone makes it all worth it.
Really relatable haha, after a while of using ad blockers and not really using any other device without them much really makes you forget online ads even exist.
Clever little ad placement. I watched it all the way since it was put in at such a non disruptive time. Wish more content creators did that instead of whenever they felt like it
Yussss. The video I didn't know I needed.
I ask myself this question all the time.
This very educational for me as someone who use add block and sponsor block . I don't watch adverts and over a minute of your video got automatically skipped because it was a sponsorship.
RUclips 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!
It's low key terrifying how sophisticated and manipulative the RUclips algorithm is.
Just install an adblocker..
When I see a product advertised on RUclips, I go out of my way to not buy the product.
Look who runs RUclips, this should tell you all you need to know about why they allow ALL these scam ads.
Congress should get off their asses
I pay for Premium since RUclips 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 RUclipsr sponsorships as well.
I always dislike the video when the sponsor bs starts, and then skip half the video lol
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.
I kinda wish phone addblockers would have that good support tho. Internet there is un-useable.

the editing with the add was quite impressive, i was confused af to the point i had to watch the whole ad
lol Ads? What ads? I haven't seen ads on any website for over half a decade now. If anyone wants to support a creator, they're better off donating to them directly via patreon, or membership, etc. Not these greedy corporations.
Finally someone to address this issue
Here it is a year later and the $6400 scan ads are nonstop Even weirder is they now have Steve Harvey, Kurt Russell, Oprah Winfrey clips with fake voices talking about the $6400, clearly the words don't match the mouth movements. Seems like they should be actionable
Something something "claim your $8,500 government subsidy today. We promise this isn't a scam."
I've trained my RUclips algorithm to give me two 15 second skippable ads. That way the creator gets paid and I only have to watch 30 seconds of ads.
May I ask how?
@@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. I can’t seem to get it to only 15 second ads but it’s pretty close for me. I’ve tried training it to one 30 second ad working also but that is proving tricky and not worth the effort, having already put the time in to get it how I have it now.
@@davestrider2045 😁 thank you for the answer, gonna try
@@cindymora6714 How’s it working for you?
It would be so interesting if this video happened to be demonetized.
😆
I just wanted to know why people buy ANYTHING they see advertised on a RUclips 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...
I've reached the point where if it's an ad, I conclude it's a scam. I don't watch, I don't click, I don't trust. If companies want to reach out to me, this is by far the worst way to do so.
I'm 100% the same way
Agreed
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.
Wow I' m just shock someone mentioned expert Mrs Sophia I thought I'm the only one trading with her
She helped me recover what I lost trying to trade myself
My first experience with her gave me the assurance that has made me to invest without fear of loosing
I invested £5000 pounds I I received £54,000 thousand pounds within 7 days working
She's obviously the best, I invested $3,000 and she made profit of $28,000 for me just in 15 days
my ad before this was a survey asking about my recent ads experience on youtube 😂
one would hope the people being defrauded of their image and voice and endorsement sue and file charges against the advertisers.
It's weird to think that a huge portion of RUclips's revenue may come from scam or really questionable companies.
Also, unless it's a big already well known company, you might not even know what was being advertised in the normal 3 second ad.
You see it for such a short time, I often find myself not even knowing what was being advertised (Unless it's an already well known company)
Before I got Spotify Premium I would regularly get ads that relied on visually watching, which struck me as weird because most people using Spotify won’t be watching.
It's even weirder to think that there are actually still people without an ad-blocker watching those ads.
I will forever be in-depted to you Jodie😇 Tumbler you've changed my life, I'll continue to preach about your name for the world to hear, you've saved me from a huge financial debt with just little investment, Thanks Jodie Tumbler.🇱🇷🇱🇷
Actually I'm very confused especially in the market analysis, how do people take advantage trading them?
She helped me get back what lost while trying to trade.

Unless I am already using a product or service, if I see an ad on RUclips for something, I immediately associate feelings of anger and distrust with it and I make it my missiom to avoid whatever that ad is peddling for wasting my time and boycott it or opt for a competitor.
Even more concerning is that many adverts claim that their item “is disrupting the (such and such) industry” which immediately tell a person that the advert is nonsense. If it’s disrupting the industry in this age we would have heard about it. I take every advert on RUclips as a scam and false advertising. Sorry I just hate adverts… full stop.
I get 30+ min ads quite often and if I can I leave them to the end just because I know they will pay a lot for that :)
I think they have come for revenge :-s
Edit: there was a spam comment here
Well according to the video, you're actually wasting your own time and benefiting the advertiser because now that ad will be shown to more people.
So that advertiser will pay more money to creators. Perhaps it helps them, perhaps it just costs them more money. But either way the objective of creators getting paid more works.
I started watching this and a scam ad came on. Is RUclips becoming the home of internet scams?
