@atomf9143Ай бұрын
KZbin will let thinly veiled NSFW ads onto their homepage for millions to see, but when somebody installs Adblocker or a similiar program THAT’S when a sin has been committed. KZbin’s priorities are so severely skewed it’s insane. They let bad behavior proliferate because it makes them pennies but attack normal users trying to avoid that bad behavior.
@AdventVFXАй бұрын
its also really bad for children, I do not trust KZbin algorithms to play ads for children that'll probably promote very sketchy apps or potentially nsfw content if they go into a rabbit hole. I really wish the best for any parent raising a kid in these predatory times with the internet being inescapable.

What's crazy to me is that in addition to their attack on ad blockers they have at the same time made ads more annoying. They're now longer, the skip button often now has a longer delay before being available, you might have an ad with a 30 second countdown and think "great, I can watch the video in 30 seconds" but then when that ad finishes we get a second 30 second ad. It's also often the same ads over and over again and advertisers that design ads for online platforms tend to subscribe to the "make it annoying and people will remember it" method

Imagine how many people have set up adblock on their grandparents devices for this reason alone since thats the demographic most likely to fall for these kinds of scams. And youtube has no system in place to prevent these ads in the first place and instead rely soley on a report based system which means millions could have seen the ads before action has been taken. Its even worse on Facebook where atleast half of the ads i see on that site seem to be somekind of scam or bogus product.

Ublock is open source, so as they adapt their intrusive ads, anyone can help ublock to make it stronger and continue the arms race. It's possible that the further youtube pushes these intrusive ads the harder it will be for them to return to user friendly ads due to the growing number of people using adblockers. Everyone has a certain tolerance for ads, and the more intrusive the ads become the more they incentivize using ad block. Once a user is using an ad blocker there aren't any real incentives to turn it off since it completely nullifies the inconvenience of ads. If average "ad tolerance" is at 3/10 and they kick their ads up to a 7/10, more people will force a 0/10 ad experience (ad block), and trying to get people to go back will be hard even if they dial back their intensity to a 2 or 1 since the user would be giving up their ad free experience. KZbin's current method of dissuasion seem to have a cobra effect, and by doubling down there is potential that they will lose more users to adblockers. It's difficult to predict how many ad block users would be willing to switch back without good reason to, and the longer they try to push the more intrusive ads the worse the chances of regaining their "lost" users becomes.
@thederpysqueegeАй бұрын
It's possible that's why youtube has decided to double down on trying to fight ad block. Increasing the barrier of entry for adblockers means less are able to use their blockers effectively, however that's assuming they don't accidentally completely drive away their users. Despite having deep pockets and google on their side, competitors providing a service similar to youtube's but without or with minimal ads could end up threatening their hold over their users and is not completely out of the question (why do you think people joke about going back to cable... given the right circumstances the joke could end up becoming reality and may already be so for a percentage of the userbase!)

I don't mind 30 second ads but pretty often I get a full 30 minute to 2 hour long show as ads sometimes from PragerU or one of their affiliates. I'm not going to watch that much of another thing in the middle of a video I'm awake for. I often play a music playlist when I go to sleep and they could slip in a two hour video then while I'm unconscious but not when I'm awake.

Well for some reason, the issue when they had that big fine from the FTC was that they were gathering info on them to give targeted ads, not that they were advertising to kids in general, which means that they now just don't give personalized ads to those videos... So on one hand they don't promote things that children might buy, on the other they now give them general ads, which could be anything, even things not safe for kids knowing KZbin's lax advertisement regulation. Funnily enough I think that's worse overall then just giving targeted ads, and realistically they shouldn't be allowed to advertise to children at all(well to the best of they're ability anyway)

What I’ve noticed with my AdBlock is that it won’t give me the popup that I have AdBlock, what it’ll do is play the ad anyway, but take away the skip button so I can’t do anything unless I pause my AdBlock. Outside of my computer, the ads have gotten so bad, especially on my TV, where ads can be anywhere from 30 seconds to a few MINUTES long and make you wait upwards of 50 SECONDS just to skip them.. And it’ll tell you “Fewer ad breaks for this longer video” and then still send you 3 more minutes of unskippable ads in 5 minutes

Who needs accountability for whatever garbage they're serving? They'll take money from anyone and slap an ad on anything, regardless of whether it's appropriate or not. They're happy to tank the user experience because they've all but monopolized their market sector and are operating at huge volume. It's really gross and sad; they have no pride.

Correct. penquinz0 not a business person, but if he was he could ad that KZbin fundamentally does not understand business, management, or marketing. It makes sense, it is an engineering based company that would never hire a professional manager to operate it. KZbin hates *ALL* of it's customers: consumers, content creators, so contributors of all types. But the engineers there ALSO hate the advertisers, the ad-servers, and the ad blockers. It makes sense, engineers, in general, dislike all of humanity. One thing is sure, there is no business in the history of business that has sustained operations indefinitely not putting their customers first. Never has happened, never will. Note the downfall of all financed-owned retailers: JC Penney, Sears, K-mart, Home Depot, Lowes...all financed-owned restaurants in both fast food and middle restaurants. Burger King on the ropes, Mcdonalds on the rapid decline, Kenny Rogers and Big Boys gone, *dozens* of others in the past 15 years. IT based businesses holding on by a thread, often through collusion, Adobe, Microsoft, etc. Businesses that put their customers first all doing fine, Walmart, Amazon, Temu, Space X. The check KZbin is collecting from the government's $29 billion spent on propaganda last must be huge to keep going this way. Regardless of the amount they are taking to shill themselves, they are not going to change. I removed all content from YT as soon as they ramped-up ads and started this ad-blocking nonsense. For me, the site is nearly entirely unusable, and certainly is without ad-block enabled. If they introduced an ad-free experience I would pay my proportional share...$5 per year. They are already getting free content. The arrogance and greed are obvious to everyone but them...because they don't care about their customers at all......

That's 36,000 people, Now most of them wont even acknowledge the Dunkin Donut ad sitting right Infront of them, But I don't think its unreasonable to suggest even 5% of those 36,000 people might see that ad and think, "Yeah ill have some of that" Lets say they spend $10 each, That's $18000 in Dunkins pocket from this video alone.
