#youtube advertising

[void-the-bear]

Alright everyone, YouTube wants to expand their multi-billion dollar company with ad revenue(they're banning ad blockers), so here's a way to block ads without an ad block

when you get an ad touch this fancy little i right here

and it'll bring up your ad center where you can hit "block ad" and even "report ad" if it's about something inappropriate

and when you block ad it sends you straight to the video when you x out of the ad center! It takes less than 5 second to do!

So stick it to YouTube with this little trick!

why can I literally not go anywhere online without seeing a honkai or genshin ad. it makes me so unbelievably angry because not only are the ads usually upward of a minute long, and that half of them are unskippable 15 second ads, but THEY ARE THE ONLY ADS I GET NOW. I haven’t seen anything but those generic anime characters since honkai came out like PLEASE. And!!!! YouTube recently made a change to blocking ads, it now loads a fucking page for you to click block ad instead of just allowing you to tap the information icon in the window. WHICH ALMOST ALWAYS TAKES LONGER THAN THE AD TO LOAD.

Anyway I fucking hate honkai and genshin and YouTube and I think we should beat all the CEOs to death <3

The absolute state of YouTube ads

As someone who has been using an adblocker for at least a decade, and is currently having to pause it on YouTube, here are some things I've noticed which I haven't seen anyone else bring up (yet).

You can no longer tell when ads play in a video

I'm pretty damn sure there used to be a small yellow segment in the video progress bar, so you could at least know in which parts of the video there would be ads. Now, they just start out of nowhere, and if it's a longer video and the creator has shoved all their ads in the last 10 minutes, you're hit with a barrage of ad after ad.

Ads will just play whenever

In a similar vein to the previous point, unless the creator has carefully integrated the ads with their video (e.g. "before we get into that, I'm just going to play some midrolls" or "I'll be back after this short commercial break"), the ads will play in the middle of whatever the video is about, completely ruining the immersion. I don't believe many YouTubers integrate their ads in this way.

I've heard some people say that sitting through 1-2 short ads isn't as intrusive as sitting through 5-10 minutes of them on TV (such as in this video by SomeOrdinaryGamers). And I honestly cannot agree. As some have said, YouTube ads don't have the same moral standards as TV ads, and this is true, although I myself haven't yet seen any ads of dubious morality since pausing adblock.

But my main gripe with this take is that again, TV ads have set commercial breaks which the vast majority of YouTube videos do not, and the time between these breaks is ~20 minutes depending on the country (see Wikipedia). This means the ads won't start in the middle of a sentence or dramatic scene in a nature documentary.

You can:

Predict when the ads will start based on how long it's been since the last commercial break

Predict when the ads will start based on predicting when the scene in your program is going to end

And, of course, you can change channels during a commercial break, and watch something else in the meantime, or just get up and do something else since the commercial break lasts long enough to do that.

The ads in YouTube are too short to warrant changing tabs, so instead you just mute the ad, and sit there staring mindlessly at the screen until the ad finishes, or until you can click the skip button.

YouTube ads are high maintenance

As I've just mentioned in the previous point, you can't get up while the ads play, or switch tabs. You have to mute the ad, and just wait. Wait until the skip ad button appears, or until the two unskippable ads play out. In total, it probably only takes about 30 seconds, so why would you try to do anything else?

And if it happens to be a morally questionable ad, you might also want to report it.

All YouTube ads are videos

What happened to the little popup ads that you would just click the 'x' on and you're done? Have I just been unlucky and not seen any, or are they actually gone? This is a genuine question btw.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I miss popups. Relatively speaking, they're way less intrusive than video ads, because you can keep watching the video already in progress. And if they do still exist, then at a much reduced rate than the videos, at least in my experience, given that I haven't yet seen one.

Adblockers should not be against YouTube's terms of service

This is definitely my weakest point, and I'm positive others have already brought this up. But what I do on my Personal Computer (emphasis on Personal) should not have any bearing on my relationship with the websites I visit, and if it does, it will make me question my usage of that website.

If the conditions surrounding your adverts are causing a large portion of your userbase to turn to adblockers, maybe instead of biting the hand that feeds you, you could improve the conditions and make adverts less intrusive, and keep better tabs on what kinds of ads you're approving. The change in revenue wouldn't be instant, but more people would eventually stop using adblockers on YouTube. If you recall what happened on Tumblr, userbases are actually happy to support sites they feel deserve being supported.

Overall, YouTube is pretty great, and while there are certain competitors out there, none of them do exactly what YouTube does. But forcing ads might make people turn to alternatives anyway.

Getting back to television, there isn't a law against changing channels or just turning your TV off for 5 minutes and making some toast. If you never watch a single ad on TV, your TV licence won't be revoked. TV commercials have a good system that hasn't really changed much over the years. Maybe commercial breaks have gotten longer, but that's it.

YouTube really needs to improve the QoL surrounding ads, because people will just continue using adblockers which update to circumvent YouTube's anti-adblock system.

TL;DR

YouTube ads are somehow more annoying than TV ads because they don't have set commercial breaks unless the YouTuber integrates them accordingly, and it sucks.

Why is Youtube Disabling AdBlock?

Youtube enforcing the removal of adblock and forcing its audience to watch 30-60 second long ads is probably one of the stupidest moves I've seen a platform make so far, and I've seen a LOT of bad moves made by social media platforms (like Call of Duty, Netflix and Tumblr are one of many examples). They're doing so because somehow, they NEED more revenue??? Bitch fucking please.

These platforms are so out of touch and money hungry it's sad. What's even sadder is that they could make even more money if they actually listened to their fanbase... The only thing they're accomplishing is driving people away.

Someone needs to create a new platform that's an exact copy of youtube but without ads, where creators make money based on views and/or likes.

I think, in my mid-twenties, I've finally thrown in the towel on social media. It's time.

Setting Up Your First YouTube Ad Campaign: A Comprehensive Guide

As the second largest search engine globally, YouTube offers unparalleled opportunities for businesses to reach a vast array of audiences through advertising. From boosting brand awareness to enhancing engagement and driving sales, YouTube ads can be a powerful tool for achieving your marketing goals. If you're taking the plunge into the world of YouTube advertising for the first time, here's a comprehensive guide to setting up your first YouTube ad campaign.

Step 1: Understand the Different Types of YouTube Ads

Before setting up your YouTube ad campaign, familiarize yourself with the different types of YouTube ads: * Skippable in-stream ads: These ads appear before, during, or after a video. Viewers have the option to skip these ads after the first 5 seconds. * Non-skippable in-stream ads: These ads also appear before, during, or after a video but they last 15-20 seconds and viewers cannot skip them. * Discovery ads: These ads appear in search results when someone searches on YouTube or on the YouTube homepage and the watch page. * Bumper ads: These are non-skippable ads of 6 seconds that a viewer must watch before watching the desired video. Select the ad format that aligns with your goals, budget, and target audience.

Step 2: Set Up Your YouTube Channel and Google Ads Account

If you haven't done so yet, you'll need to set up a YouTube channel for your business. You'll also need a Google Ads account, as this is where you'll actually create, manage, and evaluate your YouTube ad campaigns.

Step 3: Create a New Campaign

Sign in to Google Ads and click on the "+ New Campaign" button. You'll be prompted to choose a campaign goal from options such as Sales, Leads, Website traffic, Product and brand consideration, and Brand awareness and reach. Select the one that aligns with the objectives for your ad campaign.

Step 4: Determine Your Ad Type and Budget

Next, you'll choose "Video" as your campaign type. After that, select the subtype of ad you wish to run — for example, a skippable in-stream ad or a non-skippable in-stream ad. Set your budget. You can choose a daily amount or a total amount for the campaign.

Step 5: Define Your Target Audience

Deciding who you want to reach is crucial. You can target your audience by demographic (age, gender, parental status, income), interests, search history, and more. You can also tailor your audience based on connections, remarketing, or customized audiences.

Step 6: Choose Your YouTube Video

To select the video you wish to promote, paste the URL of the video in the "Your YouTube video" section. Ensure the video is public or unlisted; private videos cannot be promoted.

Step 7: Configure Additional Settings

This includes defining where you want your ad to show up – YouTube search results, YouTube videos, and video partners on the display network. You can also determine the schedule for your ad, how often a viewer can see your ad, and set the maximum amount you want to pay each time someone views your ad.

Step 8: Implement Conversion Tracking

Conversion tracking allows you to see what happens after a customer interacts with your ads — whether they purchased your product, signed up for your newsletter, called your business, or downloaded your app.

Step 9: Review and Launch Your Campaign

Last but not least: review all your settings and make sure everything aligns with your goals. Once you're happy with everything, go ahead and click "Create Campaign."

Conclusion

Setting up your first YouTube ad campaign can seem daunting, but it’s a step-by-step process that can drive substantial results once correctly implemented. As your experience grows, continually monitor, tweak, and fine-tune your campaigns to achieve the optimal success rate for your business.
