Basically in Youtube it used to have a function to block certain ads, but now it looks like they have removed it. Although in my opinion their block function didn't do anything, the same ads appeared over and over again.

The only reason I know is because there are times I have to use PC that doesn't have the software to block ads.

The company that does Hero War and Total Battle, they really love to spam their ads. How they never run out of money is beyond me.
I wish these company would shut down, game get delisted and they have to pay a huge fine.

ads = adverts.

Youtube really enjoys spamming frauds, fakes and loser on their website. They enjoy it so much that they removed their block function (which didn't even work at all).

I like to see what new variation of ads Hero Wars throws at me.

He was joking. What are ads? is shorthand for I use Adblock so I get to circumvent this problem to begin with.

I still am of mind to believe their algorithm is designed to prioritize right wing lunatics because even after clicking random kids shows and video games something from Ben sharpio or Matt Walch will pop up in the recommended section.

They are not my PC, so I can't install whatever software I want.
My PC I have that installed.

Ah I see that makes sense.

I wish these frauds would just disappear.

It is, because those tend to get more views and engagement, meaning they become favored by the algorithm and get more ad revenue.

It may be a country based thing, but if I turn on adblock for youtube, it will let me watch 1 video before telling me I need to turn it off before it allows me to watch another

Yeah, a bunch of people have had issues with Adblock on YouTube. I have yet to, and I didnt even need to change anything about the changes they made. I live in Australia.

I got adverts about Hero Wars Alliance, yet that game isn't available in my country. So even games not available in my country, they still get advertised.

But remember, Adblock is immoral and you are literally stealing money from developers pockets by not seeing ads for unavailable products.

That's because you need to use Ublock origins specifically, youtube can fairly easily detect adblock.

Same here I wish those ads would get taken down and those games get delisted.
I really hate seeing everyone lose to those simple games.

Looks like that will never happen, they are protect.

Function is still there TC. It just doesn't allow you to block certain ads.

I tried to press block on Hero War, but I only see the report button.
I didn't see any block button.

I once blocked Hero War 100 times in one day, before I knew about Ublock Origins.
