I watch a lot of progressive political content on youtube, and am still bombarded by far right ads, like “Epoch Time” etc.
Im not sure what “Earn Tech” is but no way am I clicking on this.
But this is a new one, this is clearly an AI generated image of Trudeau - trying to make him look angry? I wonder how bad these are going to get. Anyone else seen any?
They’re all over Youtube. Especially the shorts. I’ve given up on trying to report them, at this point, it doesn’t seem to make a difference. Started noticing them a month or two ago.
They promote alcohol and gambling to minors, so I don’t think they give a damn about society-changing propaganda ads on their platform.
Which is why I’ll never stop blocking ads.
It’s crazy, I happened along this youtube channel, and it REEKS of AI generated bullshit.

The thumbnails are all fake.
The comments are all fake.
The commentary of the video is extremely weird.
The videos of the machines are real, but the titles are all weird,
and all the videos are the same machines just re-hashed order of them every few days.
The comments thou… definitely bots…
Mother’s maiden name and birthday of the “researcher”… That’s a little odd lol

Is this bullshit even against YouTube TOS?
Fake politics ads: I sleep
Say fuck once in the first minute: D E M O N I T I Z A T I O N
I went to report the ad to see where it is based.
…Estonia, apparently.
Not too far from Talinn, Estonia to St. Petersburg, Russia. Curious.
its probably setup in Estonia beacuse as far as i know its ridicolously easy to set up a company there.
You’ve got to be impressed with how to the point the title is. “There’s a thing that happened! Learn about the thing before it’s too late!” is actually foundation click bait titles are made on.
Their revolutionary 0-layer clickbait generating AI!
These are the scams that promise Canadians that Elon Musk is giving them billions of dollars for some reason.
It’s interesting how when you want to scam someone you mention Crypto, Elon Musk, and Trudeau hatred to narrow the audience to only the most stupid.
narrow the audience to only the most stupid.
This is a totally legit method for filtering out the people too smart to fall for the scam. That’s why scam eMails are so poorly written – to entice only the dumbest segment of society to find out more.
A little bit south and I’d just say something about abortion and Trump.
I keep getting ads about far right bullshit and suggested videos as well. It’s almost as if they want far right radicalisation.
Well, right wing govs won’t charge em taxes so…
I keep seeing them too! It’s always some “news report” looking format with either angry Justin or confident PP (weird how that works).
When newspapers were the only source of news … government had to regulate them because they were used as political tools
When network television became popular … government had to step in to regulate this industry as well
Now everyone gets all their information and news from social media … there is no regulation of this industry and now everyone is suffering from either a lack of information, an abundance of non-information, plenty of misinformation and lots of disinformation
Regulate social media because they are society’s modern newspapers
What makes you so sure it’s AI generated? It looks a little too clean, but there’s plenty of pic of Trudeau like that they could have used: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=trudeau angry&iar=images&ko=-1&iax=images&ia=images
It is quite obviously AI generated. It has that “AI glow”.
I think it’s trained on real photos, it just looks like a weird clean painting - like an AI generated image.
