ELECTION INTERFERENCE ALERT!!!
This morning I clicked on a Liberal Hivemind video and up came an ad. The problem was that instead of being the typical YouTube ad that you could skip after five or ten seconds, you had to watch the entire 1:19 minute ad. Later, when I clicked to watch a video from the Brian Craig Show the same thing happened. The same 1:19 ad for car insurance came up and I couldn't watch the Brian Craig video until it finished since it was unskippable. In this video I show what happens when you click on videos from both of these channels. In addition, I also clicked on The Quartering. In all of them UNSKIPPABLE ads appeared. It was particularly bad with The Quartering since I was presented with an UNSKIPPABBLE ad of OVER FIVE MINUTES. Meanwhile when I clicked on videos from the leftwing The Young Turks and Secular Talk channels, NO ADS appeared.
Do we see a pattern of ELECTION INTEREFERENCE here? The conservative pro-Trump channel videos were SUPPRESSED via annoying long UNSKIPPABLE ads while the leftwing anti-Trump channel videos went right on with NO annoying UNSKIPPABLE ads.
UPDATE: This problem seems to be on computers only. I also checked the China Uncensored and Lionel Nation channels and they also begin with UNSKIPPABLE ads.
Every other ad I see is Kamala Harris when I have to go to YouTube to watch anything.
I clicked on it, and the video came right up.
OK, you may not realize this but you can block ads on YouTube.
Go to YOUR “My Ad Center” it is located to the right off the screen. You should see a duplicate banner for the ad that is running. Click the three dots. You can then tell YouTube to not show the ad again. LOL.
Good Luck, this is how I got the political hack stuff to leave me alone.
Google YouTube, Amazon, WalMart, the Internet Provider you’re using, Your cell phone provider, the clothes you’re wearing, the computer you’re using, the car you’re driving, etc. and etc.
All Evil.
Look. There is no way in the world to remove yourself from this “evil” as you call it.
Complaining about ads at YouTube is like complaining about hymns at church

On a computer?
I use the following:
I don't go to Youtube for the express purpose of watching ads.
Yep, Kamala ads you cannot skip, But Trump ads you can skip immediately. And you can bet they are showing Kamala’s for free and charging the hell out of Trump.
“When you check this out use your computers only since that is where the problem exists.”
Nope, it is happening on Youtube internet TV too. Noticed it several days ago.
Will have to try this.
So sick of the YT election interference ads.
“Every other ad I see is Kamala Harris when I have to go to YouTube to watch anything.”
Yep, overkill to the max.
.
This. Brave blocks ads right from the start. No plug-ins needed.
I have seven adblockers on my computer, four of which are enabled, three are not, so I got no problems (right now) but it is something I will be keeping an eye out for. Blasted YT/Google.
...what?? USE Rumble instead!! Conservative owned and many good utube sources already dup videos there as well.... ymmv.
i use tune in app to listen to my shows (Bongino and Jesse Kelly). I have noticed that they slap some preaching/bible verse/church ad into my listening. Its a 23 minute ad and even though the skip button is there, it doesn’t work. I just kill the app and restart and that fixes it usually.
I just clicked on a Tim Pool video and got hit with a 37 second unskippable ad.
I responded to a Bible question with Bible verses and YT deleted them. I thought what??? I reposted, again only Bible verses, and again deleted. Nothing controversial in the verses. I don’t understand.
