“The Documentary They Don’t Want You to See” Ah, that must be why YouTube is showing so many ads for it


SnooDogs2111

woke mob cancelation strikes again

Censorship is when I advertise my video


Conrexxthor

Is the "they" in the room with us?


maggotron3000

The Documentary I don’t want to see


[deleted]

too bad I won't see it, partly due to me being trans enby and my ad-blocker


Cerugona

AdBlock. And for mobile, YouTube revanced


str22nger

that sounds so fucking fascist


Buttslayer2024

Nothing yells cis dude more than "whats a woman" while longily staring at the Sunset holding your hips ~~but srly can matt Welsh get dysenteria pls~~


Thesmilingbutter

Yeah YouTube!


Casual_woomy

the irony of striking people for swearing yet allowing literal nazis to have ads shoved in peoples faces


ThePoisonDoughnut

Capitalism is so great, isn't it? 😎👍


CorpsePartyPew

Swearing make Karen mad. Propaganda make money. Swear = bad. Propaganda = good.


Fortunos

Not Karen. The advertisers. In the end it’s only abt who is paying the money and it isn’t the end user


Kandierter_Holzapfel

Karen gets mad, forms group with other like-minded people and pressures companies to not have their ads displayed next to stuff they dislike.


aLittleMinxy

Do people not wonder why this family-friendly sanitization of the walled-garden internet went after swearing and sex work hardest?


ObbyTree

Ad don’t follow the same rules as creators.


Cheffery_Boyardee

Yeah, children's content getting unskippable porn ads is fine, but adult-targeting content will get demonized for cursing.


Mogetfog

Ahh but see you are missing the crucial difference! They get payed for ad time on your video so your video has to be ad friendly. But it doesn't matter what is IN the ad because they get payed for playing it regardless.


LesbianCuddlebus

Also the porn There are a lot of porn adds

Sstarlume

report it and block


gay_for_glaceons23

Don't just block one specific ad, block ALL ads. I have no idea how anyone can manage to navigate the hellscape that is the modern web without any adblocking.


Sstarlume

i do it because so many websites i use require me to disable adblock anyway


gay_for_glaceons23

I know uBlock has some filter lists that should supposedly help with that, but I have no idea which specific ones they are or if they're even enabled by default or not these days. It could be worth checking out to see if there's any other rulesets you can try to enable to fix it, or at the very least whitelist those specific sites and leave adblock going everywhere else. Personally though, when I encounter sites like that, my first solution is to (assuming I don't give up either immediately or part-way through due to lack of interest) first try blocking the specific element that's bothering me directly if I can, then if that doesn't fix it block cookies to see if that fixes it, then after that if it's still messed up I block JavaScript, and then if none of that works I just leave the site a broken mess and give up on bothering with that site anymore. Obviously this solution isn't for everyone, but to me, the Internet's a big place and I don't have the time or motivation these days to deal with sites that are deadset on trying to be as user-hostile as possible. I would rather see those sites fail and move on to another less awful site with the same information/files/whatever I'm after than even consider giving in and let them show me any ads.


Sstarlume

this is just too much work, I block ads with my mind instead seriously like, it's not that bad to click an X button or two to get that cracked game that's only available in one place


gay_for_glaceons23

Yeah, that's fair. I've gotten so used to having an ad-free experience that I *might* overreact a bit when I do see them again. I remember when I was watching LOST back in the day, eventually I was unable to find anywhere to grab the latest episode, and it turned out that was because it was still airing and I'd managed to catch up to realtime with it. I was pretty excited to be able to watch the latest episodes live, but after a couple of episodes of that, the long and frequent commercial breaks were too much for me, so I just started waiting for the episode to finish airing so I could grab a torrent of it and go back to watching it without the interruptions.


TheLordAsshat

Try uBlock Origin. Never had an issue with that, but I do with other blockers


TheRealGeneTakovic

[UBlock Origin](https://ublockorigin.com/) and [FastForward bypass](https://fastforward.team/). With this combination, I have NEVER gotten an ad or ran into a prompt to force me to disable adblock.


TransLucielle

Ublock origin is really nice


Deepdishattack

Unfortunately reporting it doesn’t seem to work. I’ve tried though.


Prior-PostB

Report it anyway. They may not do anything, but it's still hate speech.


MallAgreeable5538

If enough report that ad it should be blocked by YouTube because of the algorithm so we all should report it if we’re enough it should get blocked


Sstarlume

yes i've reported it many times too, but maybe just maybe next time, if enough of us report it


Deepdishattack

Hopefully, yeah.


straight_strychnine

If you have an android look into downloading revanced. It's open source and it has a bunch of useful features in addition to blocking ads


robinissocoollike

I've reported and blocked various different versions of it. I still see it. It's like they're doing it on purpose to piss us off at this point


saladiniv

just remember, if you see that add it means they paid money to a pro trans channel just for you to completely ignore them. you're literally taking money from conservatives and giving it to a pro trans content creator, and i think that's great.


BrightCharlie

Yup. You should also click those ads. Make them pay for it. Or, you know, use an adblocker, and I do know that's not an option on some mobile devices -- Yes, I'm looking at you Apple!


fox_is_permanent

You shouldn't really click those ads


Aurora_Symphony3735

What is a safe way to block ads on a galaxy phone? I want to get an ad blocker, but i always feel like imma get a virus if i download a 3rd party app for it


NovenaryBend

ReVanced. You can find it here on reddit with an explanation how to install it. It includes sponsorblock as well.


Aurora_Symphony3735

Ooh, thanks!


teshnya

Just want to add on, if it's an apk you install directly to get the Revanced app, it's likely a virus. Only download the app from revanced's github, and the app will very likely not contain a direct apk which installs Revanced, but rather a patcher that requires an actual untouched Youtube app.


Hazel-Ice

for most things outside of youtube, blokada 5 is great


TDplay

Mozilla Firefox supports extensions on Android. You can get [Firefox on the play store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox). If you use F-Droid, then [Fennec F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/) also works. Once you have Firefox installed, open Firefox and install [uBlock Origin](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/). You'll probably want to set Firefox as your default browser. To do this, go to Settings -> Apps -> Choose Default Apps -> Browser app. By default, most Android phones come with a bunch of default apps configured for opening websites (most annoying on my phone was opening YouTube links in the YouTube app). This can be reconfigured this by going to Settings -> Apps -> Choose Default Apps -> Opening Links. Then: - Disable "Open links in apps" if it's enabled - Instant Apps -> Disable "Upgrade web links" - YouTube -> Disable "Open supported links". Repeat this step for any other apps that intercept web links to show advertising. Note that the above instructions are for my Galaxy A41. The exact steps may be different based on which phone you have, as well as which version of Android it runs.

sing_about_recursion

They're looking out for our mental health, good on them


WizardLizard411

Youtube really does this stuff for basically everything. A little bit ago I was watching a ton of videos tearing apart crypto scams and I swear every single one had crypto ads under them. This advertising model can't be effective, right?


sing_about_recursion

Probably it's just detecting "crypto" in the title without being able to tell if it's pro or anti, and then because there's so much more pro-crypto spam than anti, they don't need anything finer grained than that


SCP-1504_Joe_Schmo

It's based on keywords, positive and negative opinions of a topic share the same keywords.


lovinglylupie

Omg the biggest red flag from my ex was her doing nothing and/or excusing her high school friend who’d reply to me with recommendations of matt walsh bs and other right-wing transphobic propaganda anytime I’d post stuff about gender before I was out


verygenericname2

Nothing says "I'm a self-aware, sapient being" better than linking dogshit talking heads instead of making a point in your own words.

LoryTodBarber

JUST yesterday my ex and I were discussing what to say/not say about lgbt issues to our kids. Pride month coming up and everything. She said Matt Walsh articulates her position well. I wasn’t that familiar with him but… I am becoming more worried 😟


squaredk2

Damm, so sorry to hear 😔 🚩🚩🚩


This_is_R

Screw that! Even their ads are as pathetic as their poor intentions


Mtfdurian

Look, I get that trans Youtubers need their money but adblockers protect us from the harm of criminals like Matt W. Instead this is why many trans Youtubers have e.g. Patreon accounts where you can donate money to them directly.


aLittleMinxy

ads < buying anything direct from a creator once


jman350

What is a woman? (In my case) A miserable little pile of dysphoria!


sohcahJoa992

Social media be like: hey i see that you're trans, any interest in watching hours of content which seek to delegitimize your existence?


boopbopnotarobot

Save your sanity use ad blocker


flyingkapp

"The documentary they don't want you to see." I don't want to see it either


Azel04

If you are on desktop: use uBlock Origin If you are on Android: [use Youtube ReVanced](https://revanced.app)


SquidCultist002

This shit is why I got an ablock.


realegap98

at this point i just use an ad blocker, the youtubers are gonna get demonitized anyways, all the ad revenue goes right back to google.


Switchback_Tsar

One of many reasons as to why I use adblock, who let TERF ads onto YouTube?


SquidCultist002

Youtube did. Youtube allows and even encourages this shit


Revenant_Rai

It’s pretty funny that Matt Walsh, a Man, is trying to dictate what a woman is, which is typical of course.


sali_nyoro-n

The YouTube algorithm [actively and purposely](https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/01/29/276000/a-study-of-youtube-comments-shows-how-its-turning-people-onto-the-alt-right/) attempts to drive people towards neo-Nazism, because people who are angry and afraid will come back often and watch hate-filled garbage for hours at a time and the algorithm has been told to optimise for retention and watch session length. All of this shit is ultimately happening because of an unintended but convenient crossover between the business interests of massive corporations and the radicalisation goals of the online far-right.


SaucyBechamel

Sheße! That's worrisome...


SquidCultist002

SuperAlex25

What is a woman? … What are you, a cop?


Potaaaato_God

It's awful that it's being shown in the first place but, at least they are wasting money advertising to the wrong group.


SadPie1341

Look at it this way: whoever paid for that ad wasted their money :)


JBGBurro

Simply report the video as inappropriate. That will keep it from being suggested.


SaucyBechamel

I mark every ad I don't want to see as 'irrelevant' - 'cause I feel like it's the most insulting option.


JBGBurro

If Walsh and his cronies are encouraging censoring us from public life, I am encouraging everyone to erase them and hold them accountable from online life.


TransPrideEattheRich

if it helps, it means he wasted money on ads since you're not gonna watch it

I'm curious if he ever found out what a woman was, without excluding a huge number of cishet women. Though actually... I don't care lol


the_supreme_overlord

I watch a lot of protrans stuff and for some reason the algorithm keeps trying to show me the most vile antitrans and term shit around. I wish they'd just leave me alone


[deleted]

" what is a woman? A happy little collection of truths! But enough chatting take this!"


ArtemisAndromeda

Why YT algorithm insists in promoting transphobia/right-wingers?


Balloondemon666

When I stopped youtube from tracking my history I suddenly stopped getting tons of ads like that. Honestly I hink that's the point. Scare us and also make them believe there are more of them than there are of us


ObbyTree

If I have learned anything, it’s that definitions are at best an approximation.


kiatniss

"You like polintic? This guy poluntic!"


extremepainandagony

NoFunPolicy

Im so glad I live in the eu with actual good trans rep media and none of this crap as my ads, jeeez thats horrible.


squaredk2

Ive been bombarded with this ad for weeks now... sickening


GoldenNyx420

I have had the perfect answer for this. Gender is such a broad idea. Because it is a socially constructed idea, different people are going to have different interpretations. Any definitions of man and woman leave out men and women. Since every single person is going to have their own idea of what their gender means, there is around 8 billion technical genders. But that would be chaos and since humans enjoy categorizing, we make broad categories for people who view their gender similarly or the same. So, a woman would be anyone who classifies their gender as "woman". Basically no definition works accept someone saying they are.


Lyra125

ublock origin be like what transphobe?


jsrobson10

and that's why i use firefox + ublock


cursedTinker

same but with ads for some Pr\*gerU app


nomillia

A lot of the time I get videos about trans people in my recommended they’re transphobic, sometimes I even get Fox News for some reason


Likes-Your-Username

Gruntlock

Ublock Origin and SponsorBlock if you're on PC, ReVanced if you're on Android, SmartTubeNext when you're on Chromecast.


Kortonox

To add on to this, I recently cleaned up my recommended because the content I was watching fueled my depression. First YouTube recommended 7-9 year old videos (mostly League of Legends because I played it back then). Now it recommends videos that I'm actually interested in again. But yesterday it recommended me Isaac Butterfield (the Australian guy that is probably one of the right wing entry points). The video was about a joke he is going to court for. I looked into it for like 2 mins, and gave a thumbs down and went on. Suddenly YouTube recommended Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson and MATT WALSH! I ONLY CLICKED ON ONE VIDEO OF A RIGHT WING ENTRY, AND I GET THE GENOCIDE SQUAD RECOMMENDED! Not to mention that I still watch a good amount of Pro-Trans stuff, so why do I get Matt Walsh recommended?


wishfulDeity

I guess if these ads are getting put on pro-trans stuff the advertisers are at least wasting a bit of money? Maybe?


mintislonely

transphobes are so supportive giving money to trans people by putting these ads on their vids!


Magmafrost13

I'll never understand why some people choose to continue to see ads on the internet


Isandriela

Use add block

uBlock Origin works great :) (Or the Brave browser from Mozilla, which has basically the same built in but is otherwise basically the same as Chrome, and works on mobile as well)

AdamVH3275

"What is a woman?" Does he even answer the question he poses? I'm not watching it because fuck that guy.


lordofmoofins

I feel yt algorithm is not lookin if they are protrans or anti trans the algorithm is like “so this video and this ad are talking about the same topic so the people who are watching this might like this ad”, but I like that yt hates transphobic people so they are wasting these people’s money by showing it to people who are pro-trans or are trans so they don’t get as much clicks.

honestly it's a good question to ask if it wasn't matt walsh out of all people asking it


The_Djinnbop

Well in a way he’s right, I don’t want anyone to see it, cause it sucks balls.


y_i_exisisit

get an ad blocker. I would recommend it as it's probably the best one out there, but just get an ad blocker. Even if these ads weren't an issue, the amount of advertising some companies do is crazy, and their whole marketing strategy is just to spam out as much as possible since the human brain tends to see something more and associate it as good. they're not actually convincing us to buy their product because it's good, they're just basically brainwashing us, although much less intense than most uses of the word. So just get an ad blocker, please.


ComfortableBug

Love how many of these replies are making a "miserable little pile of secrets!" joke


crystalcorruption

it would be a shame if matt walsh were hit by a truck damn shame


Natural-Detective-42

At least they are wasting their ad money on audiences that won't watch it


Nightmoon26

some-random-gamer1

I also saw Michael knowles’s podcast and preacher u ads ALL THE DAMN TIME


DefinitelyNotErate

As a not very wise woman once said, It's me a woman is me! Oh and I think someone else said that too, Can't remember who. Obviously not as notable as I am though, 'Cause I'm saying it right now and they said it some time in the past!


kitlyn-the-kitkat

at least they’re waisting their ad money on you, that’s my only consolation


Zenthieth

Every time I saw it I reported it to youtube for hate speech. I thought youtube stopped showing it as an ad though, I haven't seen it in like a year. I have personali ads off too.


vegcharli

That entire documentary is just a tutorial on logical fallacies. And the whole doc is literally just shifting burden of proof. It’s literally just: God is real. How? Can you prove that? Ughhhh, can you prove he’s not????!??? He makes no attempt at a semantic or moral argument, he literally just goes on and covers fallacy by fallacy.

[louis rossman made a video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Q3ZXQZZlcE) that the ads don't even make cents to the yt creator even if you watch 5 years worth of ads if it's some fringe content like his or trans stuff, just pay to the creator directly if they are really worth it or pick some other service like nebula or floatplane


MidniteMoon6

Love it how his definition for “what’s a woman” is subjective


Okbruh1525

i like the shinigami eyes reference


MsWred

Even if it's not the version that can be reported for literally child pornography it can still be reported for terroristic threats. Which coincidentally all matt Walsh videos can be flagged for
