Today’s bondage is bought to you by Pepsi.

Better seen on Pornhub next to some anal fisting than on Twitter/X next to blatant nazi propaganda.

Many sites have to get rid of adult content because of complains. Now what they are also going to blame porn sites for having porn?
Deceptichum@kbin.social 11 months ago
Like people who move next door to a live music venue and complain about the noise.
Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 11 months ago
Or ones who move in next to a pig farm and complain about the smell
SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 11 months ago
They are right, though. Noise pollution is real and harmful. If the venue can’t soundproof its walls then it should close.

who the fuck cares why is this bad
Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
Be quiet, the only reason you can masturbate in peace without being flooded with ads is because advertisers think it hurts their product.
MaxVoltage@lemmy.world 11 months ago
i only volunteer to watch ads nowadays
CluckN@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It’s more of a major goof on googles part than anything bad. These big prudish companies will start to pull ads if they think their brand is at risk. Apple has had rumors of expanding their ad network so if Google keeps slipping they might step in.
nutsack@lemmy.world 11 months ago
these companies are idiots if they think anyone gives a fuck about this
ugh@lemm.ee 11 months ago
The headline leaves out the most important part. Ads aren’t only being shown on porn sites, but they’re also appearing on websites that are hosted by sanctioned countries (eg, Russia). If those websites are getting kickbacks from Google, that violates laws. The EU is already investigating it.
God_Is_Love@reddthat.com 11 months ago
Because the porn industry is rife with exploitation and trafficking and underage individuals and exploiting addictions and sexual abuse?? Come on it’s not that difficult to put the pieces together.
nutsack@lemmy.world 11 months ago
no it isn’t

It’s not bad, it’s funny.

It’s the kind of amateur fuck-up that you wouldn’t expect from the world’s most successful advertising company.
sheepishly@kbin.social 11 months ago
Youtube: Nooooo!! You can't say the fuck-fuck word in the first three minutes of the video and you can't cover content that isn't friendly to our advertisers!! If you do anything out of line we will demonetize you!!!
Meanwhile, Google:Bgugi@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Ugh, I hate hearing a no-no word in the video YouTube serves me after the 5 minute blowjob machine ad.
June@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Oh no, not on HARDCORE porn!
I mean, in front of my salad?!
superduperenigma@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Don’t forget to have your salad tossed!

As usual,
redditorslemmings commenting on an article they haven’t read. This isn’t just about your brand appearing on a standard porn site. It’s also about your brand appearing on disinformation sites like Breitbart. Also, if your ads appear on those sites, it means that very probably your money is ALSO going to those sites.tias@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
I mean the problem really started with a headline that misrepresents the article

I know that when I’m watching two hairy jocks fuck each other’s brains out is exactly the moment I’m thinking of buying a new set of LG kitchen appliances at The Home Depot’s Black Friday sale.
RobotToaster@mander.xyz 11 months ago
Think of the product placement opportunities!
Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months ago
I can’t say if I’d be swayed into a purchasing decision by a porn site ad for collars from a pet store or rope from a hardware store. But I would absolutely respect the hell out of them for it. (Actually, if a hardware store made a “build this!” style ad where you made some sort of kink hardware from a pick list and free plans, I might actually go for it, because I like crafts and kink.)
Can you imagine the opportunities for novelty beds? Not just the newfangled memory foam ones or the adjustable base ones, but the ones with the slits and divots and cutouts for pillows that promise to solve all the problems with side sleepers and intense cuddlers? I don’t need any of that but I’d definitely be more receptive to one if I saw something interesting being done with them.
gregorum@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Just as he’s lifting the bottom’s leg to get that undercarriage shot, I’m looking at the dishwasher he’s being fucked against. The sleek stainless steel finish. The touch controls. Is that GE Profile? How many decibels is it? I bet it’s under 45! I bet they’re doing dishes right now, and I can’t hear it!
DontTreadOnBigfoot@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You ingrate. You disgust me.
I can’t believe anyone would be so depraved as to buy LG appliances.
TheBat@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I have their microwave/oven and it’s very good. Still got physical buttons and knob instead of touch sensitive bs.
originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 11 months ago
did they blame the client for caring, and then sue whomever discovered it? i hear thats very popular lately.
Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Caught? Is this illegal?
Copernican@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Contract violation for brand safety and media buy.

I’m imagining this, and am just stuck here thinking that I should have just bought a chocolate bar, now what?
peopleproblems@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Hold on a second.
Someone saw these ads and thought “I should admit to my porn habits to spread this information that materially doesn’t affect me, but puts revenue in Googles wallet and probably doesn’t harm the big brands at all?”
Pixlbabble@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Can people not separate ads from what ever they are reading in their minds?

This is the best summary I could come up with:
According to an Adalytics report, the Google Search Partner Network (SPN) has allegedly been putting brands at risk of all of these undesirable placements without advertisers fully realizing the dangers.
Among those impacted were big brands—like Amazon, Apple, BMW, Home Depot, Lego, Meta, Microsoft, Paramount+, Samsung, and Uber—and top government entities including the US Treasury and the European Commission.
Ads from nonprofits like the American Cancer Society and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, as well as major media outlets like The Guardian, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal were also found on illegal or adult sites.
To determine roughly how seedy the SPN might be, Adalytics relied on open source data and web crawlers to flag search ads displayed on 7.2 million sites.
According to MediaPost, it has been estimated that the SPN “generates about $10.5 billion annually” for Google, while requiring advertisers to "acknowledge that our policies meet any image and reputation standards you may have for your company” before creating an ad campaign in its Search Network.
Adalytics’ report included a disclaimer that its “study does not allege that any entities violated US Treasury or international sanctions or any other anti-money laundering (AML) laws.”
The original article contains 684 words, the summary contains 199 words. Saved 71%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

Google must be desperate for cash. All those ad blockers are running them dry…
DannyMac@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Seems super weird since using an ad blocker is pretty much essential on these sites
dan1101@lemm.ee 11 months ago
If Google had actual people curate the ads and where those ads were displayed then this shouldn’t happen.
gari_9812@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Smart move, makes it so people relate those brands with unhealthy habits and toxic relationships.
tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Seems like it would be effective, though. Those sites get huge numbers.
TrainsAreCool@lemmy.one 11 months ago
Don’t see what the problem is, most of these big brands love to fuck people.
Deceptichum@kbin.social 11 months ago
Because in porn it’s consensual and enjoyed by both parties. They don’t want customers getting any ideas.
NOSin@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Your knowledge of porn is very limited. That statement of yours is barely half true.
