I just tried to look up a specific video of a Nick Swardson stand up bit. All I searched was “Nick Swardson loitering”. There were 5 fucking ads before an actual user posted video, then one real human posted video that barely had anything to do with Nick, then 5 more fucking ads.

I knew they were forcing ads into videos but clogging the entire search feed with ads is unfuckingbelievable.

Is this really what it’s come to? Ads are more important than what I’m actually looking for? Are people really okay with this?

    I feel your vitriol and agree with it 100%.

    When politicians of both parties say shit like “Americans like their private health insurance”… I kind of die a little.

    When a random podcast from somewhere else in the world has a local ad injected into it by the app I downloaded it with…same.

    When the godamn fucking pitcher’s mound has a CGI ad superimposed over it…same.

    We’re going to advertise and conspicuously consume ourselves into extinction. So there’s that I guess.
