edit: you to your
I have gotten actual unabashed, uncensored, pornography as ads on youtube, meanwhile content creators have to juggle not saying “fuck” too much cause otherwise it’s adult content and they can’t get paid, but they also have to say it enough times for it not to be kids content which also means they can’t get paid
On TikTok I’ve seen an ad showing literal penis in vagina. But people have to say “unalive.”
That’s doubleplus ungood.
Youtube has ads? ;)
“ads are based on your activity” they say. I like biology and I am frequently engaging in biology related topics on the internet, yet they keep spamming me with gambling ads, israel army recruitment ads (yes these are a thing!), and occasionally the hot girl mobile games, all ads I literally did not ask for. Everything is thrown at me, most being harmful and completely unrelated to my interests, except biology.
Sanity check: are you sure you didn’t turn off ad personalization at some point and these are just the standard issue ads that get shown to most people?
Personalized ads are turned on.
I watched a YouTube ad once that was almost a full-length reading of a porn comic wherein a teenage boy is helping his stepmother move into his home, and he’s like “Why does she have so many vegetables??” (Boxes of phallic produce.) It only ended right before they actually fucked.
Since SmartTube was compromised I uninstalled it and factory reset my tv, then I tried the official YouTube app. I didn’t even finish one video before installing ST again. I rather have hackers than ads.
Is smarttube like revanced ext?
Revanced extended folded back into revanced last I heard. But yeah, Smarttube is kind of like that for Android TV boxes/dongles.
um what do you mean by “folded back”?
Revanced Extended was created by someone who was contributing to the main Revanced project. It was made as a test bed for new patches and a place for some patches they didn’t think would get accepted into the main Revanced project. That’s where it branched off.
After a while they stopped maintaining their own Revanced Extended patch manager separate from Revanced and just had users point Revanced Manager at their Revanced Extended patches in order to use Extended.
Then a little while later they after that they got most of their patches into the main Revanced project (folded back into the main thing).
They then stopped maintaining Revanced Extended as a separate thing, but they still contribute to the main revanced project.
Granted, this is all info that’s a few years old. Might be out of date or misremembering things.
Also the ads might include malware code! Who knows!
There’s also TizenTube Cobalt, but since it’s based on the official YouTube app it ends up being sloooooooow compared to SmartTube…

Did they remove channel blocking recently? Something very undesirable appeared on my recommendations this week, and when I went to the channel to block it it the button wasn’t there, and worse still me going to the channel auto played more of its shit. So now YouTube think I want more.
I think so. They’re also starting to shift the “my subscriptions” button.
current day youtube reminds me of current day nintendo switch eshop. (its also full of adult anime games - largely with neural-network-generated images)
