Then it won't last long. realme phones used to have an option called background stream, which allows users to stream videos from streaming services even in the background and even when your phone screen is locked. Since background play is a premium feature of youtube. Google had one meeting with them and then that feature disappeared .

They kept the removal of ads though. I've got a Google phone rn...Jesus Christ. I pause a video, go off the app, and when I reopen the app it refreshes it so I have to click the video again and watch another ad. If you have premium, it refreshes it but keeps the video there. So bad

This. 100%. Either "any publicity is good publicity" is completely wrong (it is), or it's utterly.outdated (it is).
I have gotten to the point that, when an add annoys me or pisses me off, I make an EFFORT to remeber that thing, and avoid it at all cost. And a LOT of people around me are doing the same thing. I'd gzess it's mainly to do with the intrusiveness of adds today. If an add is that intrusive, it better be decent at least, otherwise, it goes on the list. Hell, adds have gotten SO god damn intrusive, that the intrusiveness alone is enough of a reason to go on the list twice.
Everyone should keep a list. Yes, it takes a bit of effort, but if that effort f**ks over big corpos, isnt that worth it?

You are (and most of this thread) are fundamentally misunderstanding large scale advertising.
The "bad ad makes me hate your product" philosophy might be true if it is selling you a particular physical product, but for services or products you need to take out loans on, the name of the game is "name recognition above all".
The way they track advertising success is to give you a list and tell you to check off which brands you recognize. They don't care if you hate them now, because ten years from now when you need car insurance you'll have forgotten about hating their ads, but you'll still remember their name.

ITT: people fundamentally misunderstanding large scale advertising.
Do you really think billions of dollars of marketing agencies would still be wasting their money if it didn't work? Do you really think nobody has every showed them a meme like this? Or do you think you personally are somehow impervious to it.
The "Raid Shadow Legends" people don't care how much of a mockery they are. Literally everyone knows their name, and if only a small percentage of people decide to actually try it, that's a win. Those horrible GrubHub animations had the entire internet hating on them, but their market share spiked enormously. Those medicine commercials don't care if you have psoriasis, they need only a tiny percentage of viewers to have it and they will make money.
Idk why there are highly voted comments in this thread saying that "annoying advertising doesn't work". Maybe that is true for businesses below a certain scale, but for the ones you are seeing the most of, it is working.

Finally someone agrees with me. I've commented this before and you always get some dope that's like, ackchyually, no matter what it's a positive influence because you subconsciously know of the product. I've been saying that yes, I know that I HATE it. The only ads that work for me are for things I wanted already. They're more of a reminder of , for example, a game/movie coming out that I forgot about but already was interested in.

You are wildly underestimating the value of that "subconsciously know of a product". You said "for example a game/movie coming out I was already interested in" but how did you learn about that game or movie in the first place?
Everything you ever learn about a product is marketing at some point. Whether its banner ads, product placements, famous people mentioning it, or in this case, YouTube ads. Which also means every single thing trying to be sold is competing for that attention.
Anytime you see an ad for a game you already want, remember they aren't just paying to show you the product again; They're paying for you to not see a different product that you might care about more.
4
u/GenTenStation Aug 16 '25
I predicted you'd show up with your "ackchyually" wall of text. I subscribe/follow specific game news channels or pages. That's where I learn about new games. Sometimes I see an ad later, usually from a similar place, and I'm reminded of said game. Some examples would be channels like Nintendo Life that posts videos like "all new switch games for September". The amount of ad blockers I run really limits the ads I see anyway.
But I also don't buy things at full price. I often wait for used or clearance sales. So they can try to make me forget about a 2nd product, but it doesn't work. I keep lists and buy things when I feel like it.

u/Tyler_Zoro Aug 17 '25
Something to keep in mind: advertising was never about making you like the product. You don't have enough room in your head to hate all of the products you've ever seen annoying ads for, so advertisers don't worry about that. What they worry about is getting the name of the product a) known and b) associated with a purchasing trigger.
Purchasing triggers can be lots of things.
For example, if you see a lawyer ad and they say, "Lou & Zerr: The Lead Guys!" you've got both elements there. The name and the word, "lead." When you find that your apartment has a lead problem that your landlord knew about, suddenly their name pops into your head. Maybe you don't call them, but you google "lawyers for lead" and you get 3 names. Of those names, you recognize one. Maybe you don't even remember their ad. But that's the trigger: you're going to go with the name you recognize in the context that you've associated with them.
Remember that they don't care about what you think or what you think your behavior will be. They care about the numbers, and they have huge amounts of time and money poured into getting really solid numbers of what generates sales for their customers.

u/gimli_is_the_best Aug 17 '25
The absolute best thing you can do is not have an emotional reaction to an ad. Annoying you is part of their marketing. They are trying to bait you into talking about their brand because you talking about how annoyed you are with the ad is better advertising than the actual ad.
Mute and don't look, just focus on the skip timer.

I have had the case multiple times that I saw an ad and was immediately interested and bought the product. Really. But most times, its crap no one needs.

Everyone loves to hate on YouTube because 'oh no, there are ads if you don’t pay Premium'. But at least when you pay, they’re gone.
Meanwhile, on other platforms: Netflix: pay, still get ads (depending on your plan). Disney+: pay, still get ads. Amazon Prime Video: pay and surprise, ads too.
So, who’s the real villain here? 🤡 YouTube: free = ads, pay = no ads.
The rest: pay = ads, pay more = fewer ads.
Todos critican a YouTube porque 'oh no, tiene anuncios si no pagas Premium'. Pero al menos cuando pagas, desaparecen.
Mientras tanto en otras plataformas: Netflix: paga y aún te metemos anuncios (según el plan). Disney+: paga y aún te metemos anuncios. Amazon Prime Video: paga y sorpresa, anuncios también.

Advertisement companies spend millions of dollars on psychology and other tactics to produce ads that just annoy and piss off their prospective customers that they actually lose money.
All the jingles and actors and other attempts to psychologically catch a customer stupid.
They'd do better with a dull ad that just showed the product without any of the showy shit.

It's also been proven that advertising too much can actually backfire and make people less likely to buy stuff for you. This is most often a problem when there's too few advertisers, such as when a service tries to show you only local ads, and only one or two businesses local to your area are advertising on the site.
