Why do companies advertise on YouTube when their ads are only used to annoy people into paid accounts? I never see anything, I am interested in.

    I hate this line of reasoning. I hate what advertising has become. Whatever advertising gimmicks might work on me, way more is wasted on gimmicks that at best I ignore, and at worst actively deter me from purchasing whatever they’re selling. I’m a net negative as far as advertising is concerned.

      I wish I could tell YouTube, I can’t buy a car or sell a house, I’m not interested in football an I don’t wear make up or womens’ underwear.

      That may be true, but for every you (and me) that are deterred by some ads rather than inspired, there are more others. If it’s didn’t work, companies wouldn’t spend the money.

        I think ads could work better if YouTube didn’t use them to make the free experience awful. They usually have neither to do with me nor with the content I tried to watch.
