I have less problems with actually watching it than the fact that those ads they serve are very often times completely inappropriate and not respecting my online privacy.
Same here. If I'm watching a biography about Nathaniel Hawthorne, then why would I want to see an ad where someone is twerking their ass in my face?
A year or so I turned off targeted ads from Google. I very quickly noticed an increase in ads with anime tiddies.
I guess Google sees a correlation between people who worry about privacy, and people who are likely to click on anime tiddies...
Ya know the "it's for targeted ads" is total bullshit. Where the fuck are the targeted ads YouTube. These data collectors are creeps. Simple as that.
