@eaplmx@twtxt.net This exact thing happened to me last night. I happened to be watching some random Youtube video, then this Ad came on, normally they are short 3-5s ads and I just tolerate them (sometimes) – But this particular ad was 20+ mins long! Somehow I kept listening to it too, despite my daughter telling me I could hit that “Skip Ad” button.

What was it you ask?! 😅 It was one of those testimonial-style, hyped up marketing videos of some product called “Gemini 2” (a currency trading app, allegedly), I kept watching all the way through, it was fantastic! 🤣

Then I went and read up on it! …

Short answer: TOTAL FUCKING SCAM 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net duud use an ad block on youtube.

@xuu@txt.sour.is I actually do have uBlock Origin installed on my browser I think … I might have to check again…

@prologic@twtxt.net on mobile I switch to invidious to skip it in chrome or use Firefox with the plugin.

On PC it should block these, I think your uBlock instance is not working properly.

@justamoment@twtxt.net Probably – I’ll check later 👌
