Bingo.

YouTube is targeting me with hyper-manipulative ads. I had one that was a five minute explanation about What Racism Really Is and another was about how European Socialism Doesn't Work. Neither of which had anything at all to do with the videos I was watching.

I see what they are doing and I don't like it.




Political organizations are paying YouTube to target you with manipulative ads. Maybe that's splitting hairs but we might as well be precise about who has what role.


Yes, it's proper to blame everyone involved in this.
