Some Questionable YouTube Ads

Recently I started getting some weird Ads in the YouTube App that was quite unusual for YouTube so I thought why not make a small blog about that. So in this Vlog I will talk about those Questionable Ads as well as the Ad-pocalypse.

I think the adpocalypse was really about controlling messaging that was getting out on Youtube. Many large stories like #pizzagate were reaching a large audience, and needed to be discredited because they were most pervasive on Youtube. They had to brand it a conspiracy theory and discredit it, but it was spurred by legitimate information that was originally released by WikiLeaks. Jeffery Epstein's name got to me around this same time, and now look at what has happened to him several years later.

The new situation with Youtube is they are de-monetizing so many channels/videos, but have already sold so many adds that they have to find new ways of placing them on what videos are left. Also Youtube wants to become a TV network service like Netflix.
Youtube is estimated to have lost billions since demonetizing "conspiracy" videos. A company that gets rid of that much revenue isn't a company, it's a method of control. Youtube is about gathering data, and pushing propaganda in my opinion.
