It is interesting to see what ads play during certain content…
I know there is usually a “target demographic” that is profiled for what kind of products that they may buy. I was listening to an electro swing mix online and I kept hearing ads for different kinds of soaps, and all I could think of is “damn, a lot of people must clean while listening to this.
If it's anti-LGBT stuff, that may be because major ad systems e.g. Google/YouTube don't treat LGBT as a demographic but rather a topic of interest ... and the far right are interested.
Im an atheist pansexual, for a while youtube was bombarding me with Christian and Muslim ads no matter what I was watching. Un-installed the app and now I only use it on Firefox + ublock origin
All it takes is watching a few home improvement videos on YT to start the idiot ads rolling: bots reading screen text a la TikTok that boil down to "Doctors HATE this one trick!" nonsense. I'm never sure if the knowledge gained from the video is worth the brain cells lost to the ad.
I only see ads when watching YT on my TV; and even when I go outside my normal viewing, the ads remain the same.
The only thing my viewing content has changed in terms of ads is that once I actually found some good furry stuff on YT, I started also getting ads for FurryMate.com. And those are pretty weird. Other than that it's like the same 4 products and whatever the latest movie trailers are.
