@bwaaaaak wenn #YouTube nur 1% soviel #Moderation bei #Werbung machen würde hätten die sich wegen #AdPocalypse bei mir entschuldigt und meine Kanälre remonetarisiert...

@WeirdWriter @geerlingguy don't forget #AdPocalypse of 2016 aka. #YouTube comitting #CollectivePunishment against #SmallChannels by #demonetizing them.

  • Ask me how I know!

@geist @mina @CGdoppelpunkt das und #AdPocalypse in 2016 was jegliche Abitionen auf #YouTube gekilled hat.

@landley 2 seconds or 4 bars is the norm in Germany, which ever is longer.

I still have € 5,42 rotting in an #AdSense account as a de-facto interest-free loan to #Google with no means of getting a #payout of it...

  • Seitdem gammeln €5,... bei #Google rum...

Twitch Adpocalypse has started following antisemitism criticisms.

@anon_opin that's not how it works and like the #monetarization threshold since #AdPocalypse and #Streaming sites like #Spotify will only incentivize #Botting, meaning that everyone who is serious is investing money to #clickfarm and buy #streams, #follows, #plays and so forth...

The more ads you shove in, the fewer people will watch them.

More people will seek out ad-blocking tech. The harder you make ad-blocking, the more you push people to different platforms.

Want to lose to TikTok and some unnamed long-form competitor for good? Keep it up. There's no other possible eventual outcome.

@computertruhe Vielleicht mal die #GUUG / #GLUG fragen?

Hätte YouTube nicht mittels #AdPocalypse damals mir ins Gesicht gerotzt [als #Kollektivstrafe gegen #SmallChannels] hätte ich längst ne entsprechende Serie gemacht...

@fzer0 @silhouette EXAKT DAS ist das verdammte Problem!

  • Und deshalb mach' ich auch keine Videos mehr nachdem die #AdPocalypse als #Kollektivstrafe gegen #SmallChannels ausgerollt wurde und ich nun €5,47 in AdSense rumgammeln habe die ich wohl nie ausgezahlt bekommen werde...

@syphist @sponsorblock #YouTube started to die when #AdPocalypse in 2016 hit and #SmallChannels got collectively punished under false pretenses.

@subpanel @Qyriad lets hope #YouTube can't just weasel themselves outta this like #Sony with the #PS3 #OtherOS #ClassAction which shafted everyone outside the #USA with literally nothing and didn't force them to reinstate functionality.

  • Cuz I won't make a #YouTube account to watch stuff - that ship sailed when they shafted me as #CollateralDamage with #AdPocalypse despite following their every rule to the letter up to that point!

@landley yeah, #YouTube being pressed into printing money - which we all know it can't - gave us stuff like #AdPocalypse and worse, more inconsistent moderation and a general #Enshittification of the platform...

  • Almost as if a "free" #VideoHosting site was never going to be a profitable endeavour... :blobcat_thinking:

@NumbersCanBeFun personally, if I ever return making YouTube content - "#AdPocalypse" aka. #CollectivePunishment against #SmallChalles in 2016 sourered that for me - I'd likely go out of my way like #InRangeTV to literally #demonetize everything and abuse #YouTube solely as #Hosting platform for the Video and nothing else...

Just to maximize the cost and pain I can inflict on #Google...

@grimalkina neither is mine...

And #AdPocalypse aka. #CollectivePunishment against #SmallCreators in 2016 removed any motivation for me to do shite...

@MikeDunnAuthor so basically #Spotify pulls an #AdPocalypse like #YouTube did in 2016, doing #CollectivePunishmebt against #SmallChannels...

My #iphone just showed me a push notification ad, for a taxi app I have installed, in the exact moment I write a sentence containing the word taxi. Am I going crazy or is the situation becoming much worse? #privacy #adpocalypse
