uBlock origin and sponsor block work great on YouTube. Auto skips in video ads by the creator
Lol enshitification doesn’t care if you’re mad,
You guys are seeing ads?
It’s wild that shit like this gets so many upvotes, I would have assumed the average lemmy user would be a bit more technologically inclined.
I either dont see ads or dont see the video. I wasted too much time of my life either watching or hearing ads.
If i ever remember a jingle or some bs, i imediately boycott the brand. Die in hell coca cola.
Same, honestly its best to treat any adverts that cross your field of vision as a personal attack and act accordingly.
Hell yes brother/sister.
Hate it all you want as long as you keep using it. That’s the goal.
I think this meme is talking about ad inserts and not YT…
Doesn’t matter, the worm is in your brain, and you know or are reminded the product exists. That’s all they’re aiming for.
Also, a lot of people think they’re immune to advertising. No one is. The only protection is never seeing them.
On the very rare occasion I choose to watch some media with an ad I can’t skip, I mute the volume and put my hand over my eyes, so I can just see a corner of the screen and know when it’s over.
Correct, you won’t remember the time you got interrupted by an ad. You will however remember the name brand compared to no brand when you see them, and are already conditioned to associate brand with quality and worth.
I associate it with annoyance and will only consider it after research.
Or even if you do remember the brand and decide you’ll never buy it, the product category is in your brain. Don’t buy Milwaulke and instead save money on a Ryobi? Same company.
I disagree about using memes that promote a maga chud.
Why would ads interrupt your video? I would just watch it locally where it was edited and finished.
I have never once bought something from a youtube ad but I have decided not to buy something because I saw it in a youtube ad.
The average consumer doesn’t know that AdBlocker exist.
I wonder what “average” means under the new federally controlled “bell curves”.
You know what really grinds my gears?
Airplanes with those banners that they tow…at the fucking beach.
Im out here in the sun trying to relax and enjoy the day when this loud ass fucking single engine prop plane has to fly low and slow right across the beach to tell me about some personal injury lawyer or some used car dealership
Absolutely guarantees I will not patronize their business.
I am disgusted its even allowed, it’s a complete waste of everything involved.
But if everyone did, in fact, agree on this, ads would be detrimental to every company’s survival and they’d stop making them. I guess even though people hate ads interrupting their media consumption, they still work.

I sometimes consider taking an ad out of video platform just to break up the monotony of the ads playing over and over again.
This is precisely why I will never ever, everfuckingever get/buy/use Liberty Mutual Insurance.
Their fucking ads are everywhere, and they’re always “oh we’re so quriky, lulzzor emu so random” millenial fucking cringe humor.
Had to put up with ads this past week since the over decade old AIO I was using in my PC apparently had most of the liquid evaporate out (when I fully removed it I sloshed it around and it sounded like there was maybe a tablespoon of liquid in it 😳) so I had kept it off until I got a new cooler yesterday. The one that pissed me off the most was the political ad claiming 1776AB will hurt small businesses. I look up the bill, and one of the first fucking lines of it says that small businesses under a certain number of employees are EXEMPT FROM THE CHANGES. Always look who’s paying for the ads: A bunch of fucking big corporate bitches trying to swindle you.
This story does not compute over here. Why do you have to put up with ADS when your cooler breaks?
