For some reason the Youtube ads keep showing me pro-Trump stuff ( ) even though Youtube knows that nearly all of the channels I follow are anti-Trump, and my attempts to disable the ads have only made things worse. Has anyone else got this or am I the only one?
Extremely aggravating

Just a sad fact of life, but they must be spending a lot of money on YT as it is all over.

But on the upside, I just saw a great ad on YouTube with Chuck Schumer asking for donations. It is a matching funds drive where they TRIPLE your donation.

(5,330 posts)The campaign is about to switch into high gear real soon. Trump has boatloads of cash to spend. So what do you think he will do? He's going to flood the airways with ads. Nothing unexpected here. It's down and dirty time, and you know how down and dirty trump can get.

(100,104 posts)I had no idea he even had a channel, and it seems like most of the videos were posted in the last two days. Seriously, WTF?

FUCK YOUTUBE

(1,124 posts)a huge ad buy to run during the convention and Youtube was specifically mentioned. Just like he's running across the country holding his teeny rallies ... thinks that is going to bring him attention during this convention.
