ELECTION INTERFERENCE ALERT!!!
This morning I clicked on a Liberal Hivemind video and up came an ad. The problem was that instead of being the typical YouTube ad that you could skip after five or ten seconds, you had to watch the entire 1:19 minute ad. Later, when I clicked to watch a video from the Brian Craig Show the same thing happened. The same 1:19 ad for car insurance came up and I couldn't watch the Brian Craig video until it finished since it was unskippable. In this video I show what happens when you click on videos from both of these channels. In addition, I also clicked on The Quartering. In all of them UNSKIPPABLE ads appeared. It was particularly bad with The Quartering since I was presented with an UNSKIPPABBLE ad of OVER FIVE MINUTES. Meanwhile when I clicked on videos from the leftwing The Young Turks and Secular Talk channels, NO ADS appeared.
Do we see a pattern of ELECTION INTEREFERENCE here? The conservative pro-Trump channel videos were SUPPRESSED via annoying long UNSKIPPABLE ads while the leftwing anti-Trump channel videos went right on with NO annoying UNSKIPPABLE ads.
UPDATE: This problem seems to be on computers only. I also checked the China Uncensored and Lionel Nation channels and they also begin with UNSKIPPABLE ads.

I know there’s an ad with harris begging for donations before almost all the videos I watch.

Well, they do let you skip any ad after about 5 seconds, so you do not have to suffer through all of them. The downside is that you have to go through the first 5 seconds of any ad.

And before he got pushed out, equivalent ads with LIEden. The one's I've seen allow Skipping.

FWIW, I just went to GoogTube, the Liberal Hivemind channel and started 3 videos. None had an ad of any sort before it. Either GoogTube has stopped a shenanigan or their ad selector SW has profiled me very differently from pjcomix.

By late yesterday afternoon the unskippable ads were shortened down below a minute and today they are gone. Maybe YouTube felt the heat due to my video EXPOSING them.

That is far more possible than DUmmies' occasional, "The Democratic Party is listening to us!" threads. :-)

I have standard issue adblock on my google chrome installation. I have no problem with YouTube getting pissy about it and haven't had a problem the whole time this has been an issue generally (months now).
I think what I do differently, is that I have my settings clear all cookies the moment I close the window. It means I have to log in again anytime I open a new session, but I've never had YouTube get bent out of shape because I was blocking their ad revenue.
If you can't tell, I hate all ads.
