E TORO Ads do my head in

[backtomyflock]

This is the only place I feel I might have likeminded balls of anger.

As an avid youtube user, that gets targeted by the ads algorithm with finance ads, I absolutely hate E Toro.

EVERY SINGLE VIDEO is preempted by some preppy American E Toro ad that is doing my bloody head in. Anyone else share this sentiment?

@zakaro I used to dream of other things when i lay my head down at night. Now i only dream of Simon and Joe and how well they do on the financial markets.

@zakaro You're supposed to look down on Joe's relatively poor grooming and appearance but he still looks a lot more presentable that I am.

 

[zakaro]

@slvr07 I'm already in a state of perpetual crisis and disorganisation thanks to bad habits and ADHD, but now YouTube investing ads are twisting the knife

@minda Ad block brah!

@backtomyflock Plus 500 for me.

"Investing isn't for everybody" followed by a description on how stupidly rich you will get from CFDs.

It's basically an advertisement for gambling.

@imcoleford This one kills me.

"Investing isn't for everyone... but if you're not a piece of shit beta cuck, then you NEED plus500"

It makes me irrationally angry.

 

[alectify]

@rb777 Never had a commercial try to neg me before

@imcoleford I work in Gambling Advertising. We're given way-stricter legal controls than anything Derivative punting firms have to deal with. I've honestly seen a few things I'm like 'I can't believe that's legal to say considering some of the stuff I've had knocked back' when it comes to E-Toro and other CFD mills.

@psalms91baby

I work in Gambling Advertising

Good combo that.

 

[psalms91baby]

@theobvioushero It was my third preference after Politics & Baby Seal Clubbing, but I was just too ethical for those two.

 

[theobvioushero]

@psalms91baby A man's gotta have standards.

 

[resjudicata]

@psalms91baby Yeah, but your target market is 15 and 16 year olds who might grow into problem gamblers, whereas theirs is 25 years old.

 

[psalms91baby]

@resjudicata Have you seen Finance TikTok? Wallstreetbets-style approaches are getting pushed to younger and younger people.

 

[dreysticks]

@backtomyflock Sure you can skip this add, just like you skipped out on buying apple amazon or google...
Can’t stand it

 

[lizzieholly]

@dreysticks and that is the exact point at which "Skip ad" becomes available.

 

[redgr5]

@dreysticks I hate that ad! Every time I hear it I think "I was a baby, you can't shame me into this shit!"
