The Internet is not kind to liberal veterans.

The Internet is not kind to liberal veterans.
The YouTube algorithm that suggests videos and assigns in-video advertising seems to think that anyone interested in military subjects must be a roid-raging, scraggly-bearded, tactical gear-wearing, right-wing "alpha-dog" survivalist.

As an ex-tanker, I watch just about every tank video I can access. I'll often watch videos about aircraft carriers and fighter jets, too, sometimes. But more, and more lately, I'm getting advertising clips interrupting my videos of stern-faced pols warning about "woke", camo-wearing army cosplayers trying to sell me camp stoves and water purifiers, and douchebearded anti-government types promising the race war and revolution which is coming soon.

I've been trying to do more keyword searches lately designed to throw the algorithm off a little, looking for soft, apolitical subjects like Star Wars, men's tailored clothing, etc.

But I'm still getting right-wing advertising. Drives me crazy.

Your problem is that the marketing geniuses on the innerwebz are actually trying to make a profit, therefore you're seeing ads bought by people with actual MONEY to spend.

Airhead America actually ran into this little problem as well: the market for leftist schtick is so tiny that there's no money in selling ads aimed at the belowaverage leftist scum on the street.

Sounds like you’re not getting the ads you want, like tranny dating sites or butt buddy hook up sites. :loser: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

apolitical subjects like Star Wars


Yet more proof that they live in a bubble.

Star wars hasnt been apolitical since disney took over and destroyed it.

Most people wonder how someone could raise their hand and promise to defend the Constitution of the United States and then turn around and join and vote for a political ideology that doesn’t favor freedom, justice, and liberty as those terms are properly defined. That seems to be the primitives problem with the internet, not these other things.
