Political propaganda on Youtube.

Wooh! Before a video on youtube, I saw a 10 minutes long add. But not a regular add. Ten minutes of speech by Putin justifying the reunion of Crimea and Russia. Never had seen something like that.

So what? Scott Walker’s campaign has been running Youtube ads for months trashing a woman who’s probably his next opponent for governor.

I saw it just about every fucking day, leading me to think that they might be triggered by my demographics (a Wisconsin resident). I haven’t seen the Putin ad, so maybe he’s trying harder to convince Europeans, or the French in particular.

Was there a way to leave the ad after the first 30 seconds or so?

I had never seen any kind of political add on youtube, only for cars, games, insurances, or whatever. Let alone a foreign propaganda add. I found this extremely weird.

I’m certain there was. I listened it to the end, though.
