The latest bright spark by our ****ng stupid government is an advert asking for more money to make more adverts
Unbelievable
I'm not making this up, you couldn't invent this, I was watching YouTube and Kamala's face pops up asking me to donate money to her campaign to create more adverts
Where do they come up with this stuff? And who actually thinks this is the right way to influence voters?

The absolutely hilarious part is that it's paying dividends - people are actually buying her campaign
No, Trump shouldn't win and GOP are pure evil, but by any standard - asking for more money specifically to create more adverts is just WTF territory

Appealing for donations is asking for money to get your message out there. |

Appealing for donations is asking for money to get your message out there. I expect them not to send annoying adverts telling you to send them money to make more annoying adverts. I'm sure it annoys voters. I remember working for Labour briefly in 2008 during the mayoral election and them driving people round the bend to the point some pledged not to vote for Labour, by spamming them with advertisements and all kinds of other stupid nonsense, I know because I heard people on the phone calls getting very angry and upset about it and telling them never to contact them again. What's worse is they're sending out loads of unsolicited text messages |

You do know YouTube is paid for by adverts don't you? What does that have to do with the Harris campaign exactly? It's not just paid for by adverts, it's paid for by their large subscription model including YouTube TV and many other things including sponsorship deals |

Feel free to launch your own ad free video sharing service Why would I need to when ones already exist? And AdBlock exists? It's just no use on this old system and browser. Anymore threads you would like to troll today with irrelevant needling? |

Oh dear touchy. You made a silly OP and kept digging. No one has supported your wish that politicians not be able to place adverts for campaign funds on YouTube. Maybe it's just certain politicians you feel should not be able to.

Maybe it's just certain politicians you feel should not be able to. Why are you now lying that I said 'politicians should not be able to place adverts for campaign funds on YouTube'? At no point did my OP say or insinuate such a thing, I'm not an authoritarian, see. I don't at all care if no one supports my wishes on here. No one other than Amadan supports my wish for Scottish independence either, it's me vs everyone and I'm fine with that, because I don't need constant affirmation on internet fora, nor do I need to go in and try and attack other people's threads with utterly false insinuations about what they've actually said Your bizarre insinuation with "certain politicians" that I'm somehow pro-Trump (I assume that's where you're going with this) is so stupid it doesn't even deserve a response |

I fully expect you to ask me to prove it and then weedle your words to mean something different to that anyone reading them would assume. Its become your style. |

It's called AdBlock And mute I'm just pointing out facts, Zany. I actually worked at a TUC place to help Labour try and get Ken elected. Their tactics were truly appalling, no wonder they lost They wanted to recontact people they contacted 5+ times before, spamming people with ads/unsolicited texts/other comms is a sure-fire way to piss people off What part of that is wrong?? |
