Anyone else getting "trolled" on YouTube?

[Fritz Walter]

Whenever I pull up a progressive video on GoogleTube this weekend, I get a pre-viewing ad from AmeriKKKan FreeDUMB Tour about their upcoming event in my city (Jacksonville FL) next month.

Is this happening to anyone else?

Hard to tell if this is a trolling exercise -- trying to get progressives to protest this October 8-9 event, featuring (DJT Junior) and a whole sordid list of other speakers -- as opposed to a more likely case of really inept targeting of online advertising.

Tempted as I am to show up at the Prime Osborn Center in my "Only You..." t-shirt, I have much better things to do with my time. (It's been almost a year since I've worn it. 'Bout time, doncha think?)

4. Any recommendations?

I adjusted my privacy settings on Google, and have had an pop-up ad-blocker on my browser (Firefox) for months, but refuse to subscribe to GoogleTube (which allegedly will block pre-viewing ads).

Thanks in advance!

2. I am sick to death of all of these creepy ass people. They are not worth the effort to protest.

3. I only get a band with that name in Google.

Maybe them? It certainly sounds like words our side uses.

I'm surprised people still get YouTube ads. I haven't seen one in years. I can't remember if it's something specific I did or just how Ad Block Plus works in Firefox. I think I did something similar to my phone.

I do get Verizon commercials on YouTube when I use my phone to chromcast something, though.

6. Ads are based on metadata. You see political things, you'll get political ads

I’m seeing ads against Ilhan Omar on this site from time to time, although seeing less now that I’ve started reporting them and saying I’m not finding them interesting.
