YouTube ad test.
Private Firefox window, so no trackers or cookies involved here.
4 minutes into a 15 minute video from LBC's official channel and I have so far been served three ads which have nothing to do with the subject matter.
And would you like to see the side bar ads that Google think are perfectly appropriate for the political news consumer?
Of course you would, so allow me.
Total ad count in 15 minutes?
4 ads plus a bonus ad after the video had played.
That is kind of excessive and it's precisely why people hate YT ads. They make content unwatchable.
For my next test I will sandbox a Windows 11 install into a VM, actually sign in to YT, use a non private window, and see what they send my way.
Right in the middle of a piece of music or a important scene in a film, BOOM! up pops an irrelevant ad.
@grayman Literally in the middle of a word.
