Might have to pay for YouTube premium just to avoid the ads. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 5 points 6 days ago (2 children) Do your part soldier and watch and click on every one of those ads so AIPAC pays. Every bullet you take is one not fired at a confused grandma. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] zjti8eit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 5 days ago (1 child) I don't think that is how YouTube ads work, is it? I'm always for taking the phone calls of jackasses, particularly signing up to volunteer so they keep calling, because they are only so much time in a day and I'd rather they spend it on me rather than on someone who might be convinced by their ramblings. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 1 point 5 days ago Looks like depends on how you buy them. https://blog.veefly.com/youtube-marketing/youtube-advertising-cost-full-budget-breakdown/ Understanding YouTube ads pricing requires mastering the two primary ways Google bills advertisers: CPV and CPM. -Cost Per View (CPV): With the CPV model, you set the maximum amount you are willing to pay for a single engaged view. A view is officially counted when a user watches 30 seconds of your skippable ad or clicks a link. If they skip the ad at second 5, you are not charged. -Cost Per Mille (CPM): Mille means one thousand. With CPM bidding, you pay a flat rate for every 1,000 times your ad is shown to a viewer, regardless of whether they click, skip, or watch the whole thing. But there's also maybe a discount if people interact. I'm not really sure about this one. Those are the same metrics that determine if they pay at all in the first place, so it seems weird there would be a discount. -Ad Quality and CTR: If your ad has a high Click-Through Rate and strong YouTube watch time, Google categorizes it as highly relevant and actively lowers your YouTube ads CPV. So if they're paying per view, skipping or blocking it costs them nothing. Maybe clicking or watching 30 seconds and then turning off YouTube and walking away is the maximally damaging choice? But yeah, you don't need to burn your precious human life just to cost AIPAC 30 cents. However if you're in the mood, hate-watching advertising is actually antagonistic. permalink fedilink source parent [–] swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 5 days ago Even better, use AdNauseum on Firefox to do the clicking for you! permalink fedilink source parent [–] nutcase2690@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago (1 child) You can use ublock origin on firefox browser, or if you have android, you might look into youtube morphe (you download morphe manager, and that patches the actual youtube app to remove ads) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] zjti8eit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 5 days ago I pretty much only watch YouTube on my RokuTV. permalink fedilink source parent
