YouTube feeds me so much right wing bullshit I'm constantly marking it as not interested. It's a definite problem.
I can't prove that they were related but I used to report all conservative ads (Hillsdale Epoch times etc) to Google with all caps messages how I was going to start calling the advertisers directly and yell at them for the ads, about 2-3 days after I started doing that the ads stopped.
I would love for other people to start doing this to confirm that it works and to be free of the ads.
I purchased a flannel and a top water lure online from Rural King and didn't realize it came with an extra month of right wing conspiracy ads. I report the ads but they just keep coming.
Can you try my method and see if it works? I am really curious
Lol okay, I'll try the all caps, and report back if anything changes. I'm not going to call the companies though
