I’m on YT everyday. I noticed the huge spread at the top of the home page when it came out. I will say this though, as far as into ads to each video it’s roughly 20:1 Biden. That’s not an exaggeration. I get a Biden vid at the beginning of 95% of the vids, and sometimes a second in the middle of a long vid. The thing with those though is you can close the vid after 5 seconds so they are essentially a rotation of 5 different people saying they aren’t voting for PTD. Also I like to take a look at ratios of the like/dislike on vids. Looking over the videos of Biden’s speech last night (WAPO, Bloomberg, NYT, NBC, CBS, etc.) the ratios were HEAVY against. Most were like a few hundred likes, to a thousand plus dislikes. And I couldn’t find a pro Biden comment. Those sources actually reposted the same videos today, I’m guessing to get a ratio they find more favorable.

Every single video that I watched this week had either Biden or that Abrams Chick pop up immediately—and I clicked it off as soon as I could—which was not fast enough to suit me.

From the NY Times article:

“One ad falsely depicts moments of violence from largely peaceful protests earlier this year as evidence of a violent “radical leftist mob...”

Using the NY Times to paper-train a puppy is an insult to dog sh*t.

That is indeed impressive. Overall Youtube is probably the least words, when you consider FB and twitter.. Twitter’s the worst, then FB, then Youtube.

OK, NYT, what's false about showing video of radical leftist mob violence as radical leftist mob (violence)? That you inject "largely peaceful protests" is a fraud while still running with the false Charlotte narrative.

selectively editing videos

All ads, political and otherwise, are selectively edited. As voters, and you as the "free press," can't ignore the differences in Biden between 4-8 years ago and today.

I can’t figure out how to get rid of the political ads. Mysteriously I didn’t get Biden ads until I tried to opt out via Youtube’s & Google’s personalized ad settings.

they have a lot more views than that. There are about 6 different ads and some of them have over 20 MILLION views. Some have 15 MILLION. I’m guessing that combined there was more like 60 MILLION views or more.

Did you see the Schumer ones? I actually stayed and watched those, hilarious.

Schumer face right in front of the cameras as he basically screams about donating money to Dem Senate.

Thanks for the link.

This ad was clearly aimed at taking away some Democrat votes.

Interesting that the last few minute or so emphasized how Trump has kept America safe from terrorists.

I guess even heavy TDS people can’t take that accomplishment away from President Trump.

Thanks for that compilation. I went right down the list.

Interesting to see what the focus groups decided were the best ads to show to Democrats.

A mixed bag of powerful attacks on Biden/Harris.

I’m a regular Youtube watcher. And I’ve run across a few Biden ads in the past few months. Every one of them was a request to send Biden money.

I watched them all and they are hard hitting negative ads.

Which is fine traditional political action. However, Trump needs positive ads that promise people economic hope and a secure job in their future.

Trump and his campaign need to create a “vision” for a better American and prosperity. He needs to focus on the never before believed strides being made in vaccine development, that the Covid-10 pandemic will soon end when the 300 million doses of vaccine that have been purchased and are going into production get distributed late this year and early next year. Trump needs to see his vision of how he improved our economy brought unemployment to record lows and will do that again.

Visualization of victory is a key attribute of a real leader. Among the negative ads there also need to be positive ads that sell a message of hope.

I also would like to see the Trump campaign make promises like he did before the last election. He has fought for a boarder wall, restructuring ObamaCare, gaining fair trade deals with other countries. He has been stymied by Congress but has worked hard to implement his promises. I really like Newt Gingrich's Contract with American. I think something similar by Trump especially if the American people give him a Republican Controlled House of Representatives would be a strong political move.

Which really means the video has been seen at least 100 million times since goggle’s algorithm lies about that number for anything a conservative or President Trump posts.
