We often hear about brands being pissed because ads for that brand get show against content they don't approve of. Most of the content sites have options for brands to choose what content they are advertised next to, but is there an option for channels to choose. Lets say LTT didn't want to let ads for gambling to run before any of the content they make could they choose that. LTT can choose not to work with any gambling companies for in video sponsors but what about pre-roll couldn't channels be just as mad if inappropriate content is show during there video. LTT as a brand has the same desire to protect there brand image against inappropriate ads as IBM would for what content there ads get displayed next to. All that said will Youtube and companies who make the content ad systems care about what brands the creator of the content want advertised with.

It's been a bit of a journey today, I've been trying to find somewhere where I can genuinely start a thread and discuss this, I didn't end up watching today's LTT video because, I had to reach for my remote control to dismiss this pop-up. For context I am a YouTube premium member, and I tend to prefer to consume my content on my couch using the official YouTube app, my partner pays for it because I had a rage fest over the number of ads that are on it, someone could say this thread is about the value proposition of YouTube premium, - I don't think it's worth it. There are still ads that show up from time to time. It would be nice if they could give me the option to disable this 'shop' products pop-up. It seems to be appearing in every other video that mentions a product, and it makes me rage every time I see it, because I then need to hunt around for my remote control to dismiss it otherwise it is prevalent and throughout the entire video. - I have YouTube premium so I'm already paying money to hide ads but, from my perspective, I feel like this is an ad. They also need to understand that there are certain videos in which this pop up is inappropriate. - unless you guys are keen to buy some asbestos drip. My question to LTT: Do you have a mechanism to enable this pop-up from the YouTube back-end? Do you receive any kind of Commission if I was to follow the instructions within this pop-up? Now that I've cooled down, I might try and re-watch of the video...

I've been wanting to share this on WAN but not caught the show live. Biggest thing people don't wanna play ads but internet cant make money without selling our data or putting ads up This may be a bit of a hot take that of us will hate. but what if we added a legal way to for server(Netflix Youtube fb random news sites) ISPs to bill "Client" isps (offices home internet moblie phones). This would allow services to be build into internet plans the lizards get paid and we don't see ads. I know the idea in the form I showed this will be ruin very fast. but could LTT forums workshop this idea.

Hey! I have a big problem in my website. Since i moved from Apache webserver to Nginx the ads in my site are not working. I added these lines in my website config file in nginx: add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' 'https://xy.hu' always; (i tried with *, but nothing) add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS' always; add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' 'Accept,Authorization,Cache-Control,Content-Type,DNT,If-Modified-Since,Keep-Alive,Origin,User-Agent,X-Requested -With' always; I did nginx reload but nothing happened. i tested with curl -X OPTIONS -i https://xy.hu The answer is: HTTP/1.1 405 Not Allowed Server: nginx Date: Thu, 01 Jul 2021 21:33:48 GMT Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 166 Connection: keep-alive Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true <html> <head><title>405 Not Allowed</title></head> <body bgcolor="white"> <center><h1>405 Not Allowed</h1></center> <hr><center>nginx</center> </body> </html> and i tried with an external tester: HERE Any ideas? thanks

Summary A new platform known as "playerWON" is launching TV-style ads inside console games, directly targeting younger audiences who have avoided these ads in other media sources. Reporting shows around a dozen games will receive updates to implement in game ads by Q2/Q3 2021 --Edit: these are games mentioned in the article not necessarily games with advertising coming in 2021-- Games listed include: Hi Rez Studios - Smite Electronic Arts - Battlefield and Madden NFL serieses free-to-play market titles: Call of Duty: Warzone Roblox Simulmedia's (owner of PlayerWON) testing shows 22% of people are more likely to play a game and 11% more likely to spend money within that game if they were shown in-game ads which provide "perks" or "other in game incentives" My thoughts This is an unfortunate byproduct of the militant march of advertising companies to completely encompass every aspect of every person's lives, pigeon holing the populous into niche markets and destroying open opinion and artistic integrity of beautiful works. I don't think for a second that this move came from the game designers, artists, programmers, cinematographers, composers or anyone else who cares greatly for the work they are producing. This move came from a group of "bottom line first" studio execs who have no interest in games, their culture or their player's experience. The same scum who made micro-transactions, loot boxes, gatcha games, and "season passes" for experience breaking maps in multiplayer games. This is pathetic and desperately needs to be regulated and corrected. In my personal opinion, this is the same as CocaCola putting a polar bear and bottle cap logo on a Rembrandt. No one really wants government oversight on their hobbies, this is one I would gladly welcome a 90% tax on every ad placed in a game, bleed this company's revenue until it goes bankrupt and then ban advertising on works of art. People thinking this isn't going to become "normal" needs to look at the toxic state of mobile games to see how bad this idea actually is. Everyone thought "it's just a mobile game, it's free, I don't mind an ad or two" and now you can't get a game without video ads or banners blocking the game screen and burning through your data.

facebook Facebook testing Ads in VR Oculus apps and Games
Master Delta Chief posted a topic in Tech News
Summary Facebook is starting to test ads in VR apps on the Oculus platform. Currently, it’s primarily going to be on the Quest, though is likely going to expand to the other devices. Facebook will expand their system based on the feedback of users, claiming that it’s aim is to create a “self-sustainable platform” for VR development. There are already ads on the Oculus mobile app since last month, but it’s limited to only Oculus data. Quote from Facebook Quote from The Verge A spokesperson from Facebook mentioned that the ad-system will use information from your Facebook profile as well as: My thoughts I once considered to buy a Oculus Quest as a means of gaining access to VR in a "cheap" way, however their actions in creating ads within VR apps as well as the requirement of a Facebook login (of which I’m certain there’s already a way to avoid that) makes me not want to get a Quest and just try to find a relatively cheap WMR headset. Though with that said, the "cheap" ones are unfortunately a bit rare where I live. I’ll be glad though if someone manages to make an adblock for those in VR.

Maybe this is all just me and my rather large pool of ignorance, but I figure if nothing else, it could be of interest to some and maybe even a dabble of entertainment to others. The brief story: I was browsing around on the Web-o, happend to have landed on a page I'm not familiar with but appeared to be legit with some ad's rotated about, nothing out of the ordinary I would say. Therefore, I continued on with my reading of the article until the ad happened to have rotated to something that caught my interest (a 34" Dell Display for $294). I clicked on the ad, but it would never take me the the actual advertised product, just the Dell Deals home page. After browsing for the specific product and finding, well, not the deal, but rather the general full-price, I quickly came to the conclusion this was going to be a false ad and not spend anymore time with it. However, temptation got the best of me and I went forward with contacting a Dell rep via chat just to see if they might still honor the price or not...spoiler alert, I got the oh-so-common big-blue-dell-fart in the face for an end result. I've included the chat session, screenshots of the ad, along with the final email they sent that I wouldn't be able to contrast a difference if it were instead a photo of two big asscheecks spread about. If there is someone at fault here, would it even be Dell? ({|^|=:.:=|^|})

Summary Netflix will be adding a subscription tier that includes ads for $6.99 USD. This service will be launched on November 3rd in the US, Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Spain, and the UK. You can expect 4 to 5 MINUTES per hour. Quotes My thoughts Huh, Netflix is becoming cable. We all knew that Netflix would soon have ads, but not 4 to 5 ads. I expected maybe 2 or 3 ads at around 10 to 20 seconds, but now you can have up to 2 and 1/2 minutes of ads. I think Netflix is just trying to get their subscribers back, but maybe lower the $6.99 USD to maybe $4.99? EDIT: As what @TVwazhere stated, it is not 4 to 5 ads per hour, it's 4 to 5 MINUTES of ads per hour. This is way worse than I would've thought. Sources the verge

What a galactic move! As of today, Korean consumer electronics manufacturer Samsung has started to pay AdBlock Plus (ABP) for blocking Microsoft ads. This is an answer to Microsoft themselves paying ABP to have their ads unblocked, which was the reason for Microsoft ads surfacing even when your AdBlock was active. No word has been received from Microsoft. Rumor has it though that they are considering additional payments to ABP as well as integrated Microsoft ads in their new Spartan browser. Samsung is well known for their unusual methods when it comes to advertising. Besides producing video ads that are so bad that you basically must watch them, the Koreans are apparently trying to subliminally redefine what a standard smartphone actually is. Recent photos of Samsung advertising one-hand-operation as a feature for a smartphone (the Galaxy S3 Mini, precisely) support this theory.

As with a lot of scam etc, using other people to promote. Now they used penguinz0 in an ad for one piece mobile game.

Hello, There's a way to block ads on all apps on Android without additional software and it works on almost all apps and web browsers Note:- This doesn't work on YouTube because they load the ads directly with the videostream and trying to block them on dns level will break the videostream.

Hi, (May be a hot topic) In the past I have not been disturbed by the in-video and starting ads of Youtube videos. I have always been prompted one or two 20 second ad with the option to skip out after 5 seconds. This is fine and I understand Youtubes need for income. But there comes a point when ads completely destroy the experience. In the past month I have been prompted the following for almost every video with ads. Start of a 15 - 20 minute video: Video click 20 second ad 15 second ad About 5 - 7 minute video mark 20 second ad 15/20 second ad About 11 - 13 minute video mark 20 second ad 15/20 second ad End of video There are often smaller intervals of ads on shorter videos and I can not prompt out of ads anymore. I have had enough with the ads and do not care if Youtube will not get revenue from me, they have enough of money to investigate user behavior and research ad experience. Note: Below I am not going to put words in the LTT team below I might be wrong. Hypothetically this can happen. I think Linus knows the watching experience is bad for the channel with Youtube ads, and I think he is wrong for taking Youtubes side in "Is Adblock Piracy?" Link below. There is a reason why LTT do not prompt Youtube ads and go with the in video edited sponsorship ads. Sure it might pay a little more and the team need a good salary, LTT does probably not run a good business if they do not have ad income. If Youtube one day changes the rules and demand to prompt in-video ads, LTT needs to follow these rules. This risk is then something you need to prepare for. Question I will get a lot, why I think Linus is taking Youtubes side in this topic. In the whole discussion he is pointing out that it is a platform for creators paid by ads by viewers. This is a good point but we as viewers still determine how you get paid. It is just like a good working democracy, If the people do not like the rules they will change, like it or not you will have to seek out other opportunities for income, platforms change. Now I know that this is a rare case, but long ads still will hurt the platform with more use of ad-blocker software and that is bigger than LTT and will lead to new changes. I am a pirate and I will ware my patch until changes take place. Yarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!

At least it sorta looks like it when I saw this ad of theirs on YouTube. I'm guessing Build Redux has an agreement to use his likeness in marketing or something seeing as Linus has endorsed them in the past. Does using a pic of his face and "our team" cross a line though?

First of all, i apologise for my English grammar.So i have a logitech g903 lightspeed(or i think it is) but i just noticed a problem when i was playing R6 siege, when i ads it can start to stutter back and forth like im trying to quickscope in mw2, and i use hold to ads so i dont know if there is a problem with the mouse or if there is a different solution than throwing in across the room

I have no problem with a couple 30 second ads and the occasional 3 minute ad before my youtube video starts. But, lately, I've been getting "ads" that seem to be full length videos. Some are about 50 minutes long. Today, one was an entire seminar that was around 1hour and 45 minutes. Yes, it is skippable, but this really shouldn't be happening. For example, I click on a normal youtube video about personal finance, and before the video starts, I get an ad on investing going for well over an hour, just like any other youtube ad with the countdown timer. Or, I may go to one left-leaning political video, and I get an ad for an hour long show from a right-leaning political channel. Anyone know why this is happening? Or how I can prevent it? I included a picture below. Note the 1:46:09 Timer on this ad. It's annoying and ridiculous.

So far my Win10 experience has been pretty good... Once I got cortana out of my sight and disabling the easy snooping stuff I was largely able to ignore all the horrible things MS is doing regarding privacy because lazy. Today, I opened up Windows Explorer, because I have files I want to get to unharassed and I see an ad for Office 365 with OneDrive. Embedded into the Explorer window (screenshot attached). What. The. Hell. So I am going to be looking into the Win 9.5 instructions with the recent LTT video, but I am just wondering if anyone else is seeing this kind of advertisement and if there's any steps over what was covered in "Win 9.5" to ensure MS's greedy meathooks stay the heck off my screen.

In a 'How can this possibly go wrong?' kind of way, Google at their annual Marketing Next conference has announced their new Google Attribution system to help advertisers figure out if their marketing is truly working. Basically Google will be using a combination of machine learning on data that it has collected and data from 'third-party partnerships, which capture approximately 70% of credit and debit card transactions in the United States' to model whether an ad is truly getting you to do out and buy a product. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/google/google-will-track-your-offline-credit-card-payments-to-make-advertisers-happy/ Seems like Google may be really bending that whole 'Don't Be Evil' thing on this one here. I know that all of this data will be collected no matter what I do (unless I destroy my computer, withdraw all the money from the bank and work in cash only), but aggregating this data to target ads better is kind of a creepy move, especially considering how some fourth party may want to collect this processed (or non-processed) data for their own purposes...
-
I'd like to support LTT where I can, but I won't white list a website if I don't know how the ads on it work. Do they actually screen ads or is it just a third party network that serves whatever it wants? If they actually screen their ads I'd be happy to turn off my ad blocker for the forums.

Overwatch has become so popular in Asian countries that politicians are starting to use them in their ad campaigns. What would you do or think if your politicians started using Overwatch? Could there be a Bernie Sanders montage out there using Overwatch? Could that have boosted his popularity even more? If Hillary used it would she have lost votes for being disingenuous?
