Topic: increased Youtube Gambling ads? - page 8. (Read 1826 times)

I don't know how it exactly works but I think that the ads market on Youtube, like how you can place your ads on Youtube, works like a normal marketplace and the highest paying bid wins the advertisement slot. Since casinos are making tons of money they will also be able to place the highest bids. But since Google tracks everything anyway I am sure that there is some increase in casino ads for some people when they also visit casino websites. This has happened to me with all kinds of things from everyday life. This can be tech gadgets or food or whatever else, but casinos placing ads pay a lot of money and they want to see conversion rates. That is Youtube's business model. Channel the ads to people who are more likely to click on it.

But it doesn't seem like some kind of different keywords but some kind of special program or paying some tax to be able to advertise smoothly and always appear on the YouTube page.
It's no wonder because YouTube itself is one of the social media that can be used to get a number of sizable benefits.
Maybe some countries suppress gambling advertisements so that more people don't gamble, but if advertising is on social media, it will be more difficult for the country's government to suppress it, especially on YouTube, because YouTube is one of the social media that is easily accessed by anyone and in the country anywhere.

Well, maybe that's how it works, but in the end, people who have advertised their sites on Youtube will use different keywords so that their ads can appear on Youtube. And maybe that's what the casino owner and his team are using so that the casino can promote on Youtube again or there really is a bug in the Youtube algorithm they use to promote their site. We also don't know how gambling advertisements can increase again than before because I agree with you that gambling advertisements can make people curious and want to try them. And this goes against countries' wishes to reduce gambling advertising so that people are not tempted to gamble.

That's the way to go and that's to ignore them.

We're using their platforms and they're the ones who has authority to show what they want to show. There have been solutions pointed by many members here and if someone wants to avoid them, that's all you need to do.

Whatever you feed to them, they'll also feed you with what you're watching and they're earning for the ads and while these services are for free. The main thing here is that we are actually their product.

I agree, the one who wants to be  advertised are the one who will pay a huge sum of payment to YouTube. Knowing that YouTube is one of the best platform to use now to engage and reach more people, we cannot deny the fact that obviously people will use the platform, it is a little amount to be spend for the return of people who will watch the ads and will go to their website to play. Even a little banner in yt or in another platform are useful for advertising.

Youtube Revenue are not generated that way, people give ads for Youtube to run it for them, they cannot decide to run ads without payment from any company or when they are not instructed to make awareness in their platform, the algorithm might be the cause maybe even a bug might have been the reason why the increase in the gambling ads since they know that the US is fighting alternative way to reduce gambling advertisement everywhere and not just US alone, other countries are concern by the rise of gambling ads everywhere, they know that this companies are making money from it and players are the ones who usually make the lost at the end of the day, the gambling house always win at the end.

Well, it's possible that Youtube feels that there is a decrease in revenue in advertising, so Youtube places gambling advertisements on each user's account. And we can only block it by using the filter provided for us so that at least the ads displayed in each video can match the video we are watching.

And we don't need to focus on those ads and it's better to just look for the videos we want. That way, we won't be tempted by the gambling advertisements we see and can prevent ourselves from playing gambling in casinos that we don't know.

I think there use to be an option that will ask you to enable cookies while launching into some websites, also we can always clear the history to this and empty as well the cache on the browser we are using, honestly some ads could be as weird as launching you into their content without even waiting for you to click on them, thry usually comes along while you're opening a website opened together, though I've also seen some YouTube ads that will demand you to skip them after 5 seconds which they would have advertised their content as well using your own data.

They are free but it does not mean they are that bad. I've been using some of them for a long time now and I never see a single ad interrupts me. It works like a charm. It's another story if I visit a site where they request me to turn off my Ad-Blocker. It's a way of supporting them for accessing their contents for free. There are better investments than these Ad-Blockers. Investments which will make your money grow. Of course cryptocurrencies are going to be on our top list.

Every platform has an AD and so as in Youtube but there is just content creators who are abusive and put lots of ADS on their videos. They think doing so will earn them thousands or even millions of cash. They did not know that it could cause annoyance to viewers and they will only skip those ADS or worse they will unsubscribe, ignore or report the uploader.

Most likely this is the result of the YouTube algorithm determining this is something in which you could be interested and now it is feeding you a lot of those ads, since I really doubt that YouTube is somehow pushing for more gambling ads or that gambling companies have out of nowhere decided to increase their advertising budget at the same time, and if those ads are bothering you that much maybe it is time that you use an ad blocker and forget about those ads for good.

Yes, by providing your insight with that kind of survey you'll giving them ideas what kind of advertisement to bring to your screen, though we really can't avoid them but we can continue ignoring it and take it as part of your visit, I mean just avoid clicking anything and allow yourself just to watch what you need to watch, nothing to do with those recommendations as it won't harm you as long as you are not doing minding them while watching or visiting the site that you really need to visit.

The problem in smaller and less popular streaming platforms, even though they are less strict with rules, is that some streamers may be forced by circumstances to stay pegged to a single website, perhaps due to contract with the sponsors.

I knew a case about a streamer I liked to watch, who was banned from Twitch and got a really hard time to continue to get sponsors, considering he was trying to move his activities to Facebook/Meta.

If YouTube had not become so "family friendly", they would still have the dominance/monopoly over the streaming market, but their policies scared streamers away.

We can't choose ads to appear to the videos we watch but sometimes I get a survey related to ads if I've seen something that they're looking for specifically.

But, I don't answer those surveys they pop because I know that it's another way for them to gather data and that's how they're gonna feed me with ads that they've got ready for me.

I hope that we can choose ads but it's not like that. That's automatically set by them and it will depend on what niche you're watching on their platforms.

Having an ads while streaming in YouTube is not really a big deal and yes, having a third-party tool just for the reason to block these ads will be nonsense. Just treat it as a support and help towards the owner of the channel you're watching into because that is also their way to get paid and if it's not because of their uploads, we will not see the videos that we're looking for.

And if we still don't want to see these ads, we have 2 options. First is, we can always wait for a mere 5 seconds before we can skip it. Only 5 seconds, that's all what it takes to continue the videos we're watching. Second, we can always buy the premium for less than $3 per month to have an ad-free videos.

On that note, it's better that way compared to receiving ads that you are not interested if you are a gambler, but then again, it's much better if you can choose whatever ads you want unlike what happened nowadays where you will see those ads and irritate you, it's a system that automate this advertisement, programs that automatically alert viewers and recommend those ads for possible interest/visits.

I am not saying you are wrong, but over here in my country, there are a lot of monetary agents and loan platforms. Any time I long on to YouTube, I see countless of those ads, particularly from those loan platforms and apps interrupting my video. I really do wonder why it must be those loan apps that keep interrupting my video. So the thing here is that I don't even interact with anything related to loans or those bank stuffs, but they keep coming up. If I should even expect those ads, they should majorly be about crypto-related stuffs.



Almost every one of these sites now has cookies that save some activities and search words we use while browsing, just as @wiss19 has said. I know about the cookies, though, before I was not convinced that those ads do pop up because of those cookies and cache. But I really know that YouTube has just been dependent on infusing ads on their videos, weather cookies or no cookies. I still remember when I went to YouTube on a new device to watch some videos,, they still displayed some ads, but there is one payment feature now on YouTube where you have to pay so that those ads don't pop up any more, and unless you pay, you will still be seeing those ads despite clearing your cookies. Or maybe the rate of pop-up ads will reduce compared to usual if one keeps clearing their cache and cookies.

I think that increased number of gambling ads you see during YouTube sessions is because you have been visiting gambling pages or watch gambling content on YouTube. Google algorithms never show random ads. All of our devices and pages we visit collect information about us. Based on that, google give us specific ads. That is why there is no increase, but OP is too much involved into gambling.

Well, yes, most channels are really monetize which is the reason why they can display such ads to generate additional income. Their target is to let their audience see the good side of gambling and how it works. Basically, you'll see the tip of gambling world or how these games are done to potentially profit in the long run. I've stumbled upon many of these already. Sometimes the ads is in between or at the end of the video. There are even times wherein the so-called influencers and vloggers are the one promoting it instead of putting an actual advertisement.

This is why people should be always on their guard whenever browsing social media or internet in general. Because you can't really make yourself excluded from these comparing to what you can do in casino sites. Being able to stop your urge will do matter a lot in this instances.

The channels are monetize in most cases but they don't consider the interest of the people that they will just send in pop up ads on the screen that one will be left with nothing than to click, if one could be a gambler and often receives gambling ads would have been better a little better than receiving ads on areas one is not interested about, i just which there's a way you can totally disabled any display of ads whenever you're online.

     -   If that's because of the youtube streamer, as long as the channel is monetized, you can really expect ads to appear there. Because that's one of the monetized youtube channels.

Sometimes that can be irritating, but for other gamblers, when something like that happens, it also attracts them. Even playing gambling and it's normal because that's where they make money anyway.
