Only see ads when watching youtube via chromecast, but they're all from real bra...

And? YouTube web absolutely has ads and if they have not built a model on your user you will absolutely get the chum ads like scams. I am not sure what you’re trying to tell us.

I wonder if it matters that I'm not signed in on my Chromecast youtube app, but am on the app I'm casting from. That I don't get ads for nerd stuff seems to imply it's not using data from my account

Gotcha. So you are ignorant of why people are commenting.

The OP was talking about seeing 50% scam crypto ads. Our responses were to provide a comparison. Not to say that it doesn't happen, but that 50% scam crypto ads are not the norm for everyone. It's helpful to have that comparison when providing anecdotal information.

No one is saying those ads don't happen, only that it's probably not normal.

Next time, instead of being unnecessarily antagonistic, admit to being ignorant and ask.

Please don’t start drama where nothing exists. You were confused and I pointed out that 1) I believe we are talking about promoted, which is paid, videos not the recommendation engine. These of course are not purely ads but are paid for. And 2) that these chum style ads and promoted videos have a much higher prevalence with folks that block tracker where user profiles have not been built. It’s the chum ads of the video world.

I am simply asking what is the point of the response to my comment. Ads of all degree exist but these scams do exist in a pretty large % of the ads shown but perhaps much lower dollar value since they get shown to profiles without a tangible viewer model.

Next time, instead of using inflammatory language please just slow down and reread or have a more thoughtful discussion. Thanks.

You were ignorant (fact) and unecessarily antagonistic (fact).

I corrected you.

> You were confused and I pointed out that

I wasn't, and claiming I was is a lie.

> I am simply asking what is the point of the response to my comment.

Yes, you were ignorant. You didn't know somehting. Ignorance isn't an insult. It's a lack of knowledge.

> instead of using inflammatory language

Take our own advice.

You’re arguing over nothing. All I have consistently said is scam ads/promoted videos exist in high volume on YouTube but usually only for viewer profiles where YouTube has little to no profile. Those are the cheaper spend areas hence scam ads. YouTube like most of the other platforms do little to police it.

The ads are get rich quick, unregulated powders, crypto etc.

So again I am not even sure what you are arguing about or why you use such nasty language but read what I keep saying and relax.
