Why do companies advertise on YouTube when their ads are only used to annoy people into paid accounts? I never see anything, I am interested in.

    Oh I’m aware. Hell, I just recently got convinced to buy something because of an ad. I’m not so arrogant that I think I’m above that. But I try to at least have my own mind about it (and usually am able to resist the siren’s call at that).

    (If you’re wondering, it was for a band. Shittily designed ad though as it didn’t say what band it was. Lol. The one ad of the year I get swayed by and I don’t even know what it was about. xD )

      Kinda like the shitty YouTube ads that don’t mention anything identifiable in the first 5 seconds before I skip that shit. Thanks for the non-descript idyllic scene with absolutely no indication what your product is!
