Subscribe. No ads.Cant even watch youtube without the same adds (Shaq) appearing half way through a fuckin video. Its ridiculous.
Would’ve loved to have been in the room when that decision was made. Not unlike choosing Engelbert Humperdinck as your stage name .like Wahlberg but those adds are the pits.....
Everyone is the victim and it's always somebody else's fault.I agree with the accountability argument.
So tired of the ‘blame’ society we live in.
There has always and will always be some people who unfortunately get addicted and create bigger problems. I doubt that number will ever be zero. Will banning/reducing gambling ads play a part? Maybe, but there’s still a hell of a lot of smokers despite being pretty much confined to their homes to do so and 25 years of no tobacco advertising.
What happened to people owning their decisions and choices? The victim, blame and litigious society we’ve become is almost as insufferable.
I don't think one person has said people aren't accountable for their actions. But people shouldn't be bombarded with ads of any one type of industry, especially one as potentially destructive as gambling.I agree with the accountability argument.

Rates of smoking have declined, fact. See the chart on this page (click). Yes there will always be smokers, so long as there is tobacco, however rates of smoking were increased for a number of factors that are outside of the individual, including the deceit of tobacco companies, the peer pressure partly informed by the way smoking was advertised (go back and have a look at the old ads if you've forgotten), and the lack of education within society as to exactly how serious the consequences of smoking is.There has always and will always be some people who unfortunately get addicted and create bigger problems.

Only issue there is that it cuts out the payment for content producers if there aren't ads being screened.Subscribe. No ads.
Money not spent on booze or gambling .
We may hear Marky Mark belt out a tune soon. I was reading awhile ago he hates being referred to as Marky Mark as he is now an accomplished “actor”Not sure which is more cringe, those ones or the ones with Wahlberg...
fuckall trots on today mate.this is the most boring thread fuk me, has anyone got a tip for the trots tonight?
love it cheers!! if i could reincarnate he would be on my shortlist of who i'd wanna come back as.
Google also pay part of the subscription revenue to content creators so they don’t get short changed. I’m guessing free users vastly outnumber paid users on YouTube so it doesn’t cost much to keep them happy.Only issue there is that it cuts out the payment for content producers if there aren't ads being screened.
Sure they’ve declined - but that’s also to do with social change - same with booze. I have family members all turned 18 in the last two years and none of them drink yet there’s still booze ads everywhere including on the screen in the Grand Final. Younger people today are into many different things like coffee gatherings and Netflix to cite a choice of drink and ways to spend their social time - things that either weren’t available or weren’t as ‘cool’ in days gone by.Rates of smoking have declined, fact.

Since those things have changed, smoking rates have decreased a lot. People who smoke today do so without the pressure of ads that promote smoking, in a context in which tobacco companies are rightly framed as less than upstanding participants in society, and in which there is plenty of education about the consequences.
The new generation are the Instagram/Tiktok generation. They're all displaying themselves on social media so they're all concerned about looking perfect. They don't want to risk the image.Sure they’ve declined - but that’s also to do with social change - same with booze.

I don’t think it’s all one way traffic and wasn’t suggesting so, but people need to own their choices and stop blaming when bad choices go pear shaped.
Because gambling is for 18+ only and that would be a violation of the AANA code and hence won’t happen:Otherwise why stop there and why not put the gambling ads on during kids programming while they're at it if it's so harmless?
I was being facetious obviously... But plenty of kids watch the footy and TV on the other channels where all of the ads are on repeatedly. That's part of the problem..Because gambling is for 18+ only and that would be a violation of the AANA code and hence won’t happen:
