Or stand up specials. So much comedy on YouTube and they just drop Dick Pills ^TM^ commercials in the middle of punchlines.

We really are getting all media turned into the radio from Demolition Man.

If I go to YouTube to watch a trailer for an upcoming movie THAT IS THE AD. I don’t need a different ad (and definitely not 2-3) first. Get your money from the corpos putting the trailer up.

The Marvel movie Thunderbolts has 4 main trailers on YouTube right now. Those have 9.6, 14, 15, and 21 million views. Marvel/Disney should be paying YouTube for 60m ad impressions. The fee shouldn’t be taken out of my free time.

Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026 in c/technology@lemmy.world

There not making quality. They’re making elevator music for your home.
