The only way to stop kids seeing bad videos on the internet is not let them on the internet.

Israel's social media propaganda campaign has been super well-funded and is geared to really make people think that Hamas are the only bad guys here.

Just last night I was watching youtube with my kids and there was a commercial that showed horrible stuff in support of Israel.

Yeah I got those ads multiple times last night along with a random maga conspiracy ad about how a bad event is happening soon and everyone should buy gas masks.

Holy shit. I’ve had premium since the start of YouTube red. I had no idea YouTube ads were like this now.

I’m used to when it was things like “Here in my garage.”

Sometimes the ads are an hour long and full of the most right wing conspiracy nonsense. Those always come on if I fall asleep watching a video.

Mine last night were for an app that reads me the Bible with music overlay and sents reminders to pray.

Not sure which is worse but I am willing to trade if you want. You know, mix it up a little.
