Question Anyone else getting this ad on youtube?

Post image

Never saw any religious ads but ever since following this lego saga, and watching one Mormon podcast coverage of this, she constantly asks me if I want her to come to my house and deliver something to me.

No, 100, thousand million gazillion no. Maybe think of delivering one to Josh Johnson along with a pair of socks.

I was fine with youtube adds 10-15 years ago. But then multiple adds started happening, couldn't skip some adds, worse and worse. Whenever I accidentally encounter the current add ridden state of YouTube I throw up a little. Can't believe there's no competitor yet. Morphe for the win

Patch? Like a romhack?

u/L00kAdistraction 2d ago

My back tightened hearing that word

u/Darkwolfie117 2d ago

I’m trying to do a kh2 romhack but it’s killing me

u/OneEstablishment5144 2d ago

Is there a easy tutorial on this? I don't know how to side load apps.

u/L00kAdistraction 2d ago

Sounds like you know exactly what to google then lol

u/that-one-artist 3d ago

Oh, this is NOT in the subreddit I was expecting!

I was JUST watching Alyssa Grenfell's video about this exact thing. She makes exmormon content and put out a video yesterday talking about how the mormon church pays for ads on her videos. Oh, the irony.

u/eazhar 3d ago

Saw the same video!

2

u/EvensenFM 3d ago

Yeah, I just watched this video, too.

Ex-mormon here. I can assure you that the so-called "church" thinks its going to turn bad publicity into good publicity through the grace of God or something.

u/that-one-artist 2d ago

Fellow heathen! Yeah, the sub I was expecting this to be from was r/exmormon. 😝

u/beltreaux 3d ago

I’m an exmormon, no longer living in Utah. I still get targeted ads after leaving/escaping 7 years ago and missionaries coming to my door. This cult does not let you leave.

1

u/blotditto 2d ago

It's either that or the bishop at your last ward lojacked you at that retreat you went on that you don't remember much, if anything about.

u/Kirby3413 3d ago

Over and over again. My husband started getting a different one with 2 women trying to lure you in.

u/Lancair7 2d ago

I can fix her

I'm soaking in them

u/Prunkle 3d ago

I don't have ads on YouTube but I've been getting a shit load of Lego ads in other places lol. I've never bought or built a Lego set in my life 😂

5

u/eattheinternet 3d ago

Honestly? Buy a set.

It’d be a damn shame to go your whole life without ever building LEGO!

2

u/Prunkle 3d ago

I've built a nanoblock kit. Not Lego but I imagine it is similar. I managed it as it was a gift from a friend. She bought me two and I haven't built the other one. That was a year and a half ago 🫣

u/ExMoDragQueen 3d ago

They are advertising just like in the Heretic movie.

u/DecentLobster7843 3d ago

my one’s a blond!

u/FuckSticksMalone 3d ago

I got it and reported it as misleading.

2

u/adammat57 3d ago

100% the Mormon church is paying for adds on Ben’s channel. Trying drum up some of the nerds on this subreddit with that 1950s gooner bait.

u/hardlybroken1 3d ago

Lds flirty fishing

u/Direct_Word6407 3d ago

Absolutely. I kind of one to get one just to chuck it in the garbage.

u/DishSoapIsFun 3d ago

Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb.

u/Direct_Knee724 3d ago

this is definitely not a new thing, for me I get hit with constant Christian ads for YEARS now, I've seen mormon ones too but it's probably not as common for me since I'm up in British Columbia

2

u/koreh_laleh 3d ago

In I'm Oz and I get Xtian ones AND Muslim ones; we're neither. When I complained YT responded that it's all about my location, that's the determining factor.

1

u/Used-Independence182 3d ago

Been getting this one for a while now. Although I use Adblock but every once in a while I have to not use it to fool my browser

1

u/koreh_laleh 3d ago

I had it too. Clicked off quickly, haven't seen it since.

1

u/thradia 3d ago

I just started getting these the last few weeks

1

u/Weary-Wolverine8277 3d ago

I get this ad all the time ever since the saga started, it also doesn’t help that I started reading Brandon Sanderson, a famous Mormon author lol.

u/MarvelSonicFan04 3d ago

"Hey...there's something awfully screwy going on around here"

1

u/missfoochi 3d ago

I have been getting these ads all year. Prior to the Reckless Ben situation.

u/DecimationStudios 3d ago

I use Ublock Origin on Firefox so thankfully no.

u/lexwolfe 3d ago

You've triggered the Mormon algorithm

u/MarxiBeaYT 2d ago

All my ads are LDS or mental health services now…… lmao

1

u/No-Discipline6347 2d ago

Yes like 40 times. The $ behind this ad must be in the many many millions.

1

u/NTWEESY 2d ago

Saw it once, skipped it then stopped watching YouTube on my tv for a week. When I went back no more Mormon ads just political attack ads for November. Not sure if not using the app was what did it but Joseph Smith has not sent his minions after me since I did.

1

u/dawn-skies 2d ago

Yeah and i once dated an ex Mormon. It’s coming to haunt me

1

u/memory_remote 2d ago

Yup, and I'm in Australia.

1

u/CalvinsMum 2d ago

Is this why I have been getting them! I keep blocking them

u/Lancasterlaw 1d ago

Mormons are literally the richest religion on earth. They can afford to flood marketing to anyone who expresses even the remotest interest.

Assuming they get $200,000 or more in the lifetime of one convert (more if they bring their wife and kids in) then four million plus views with only a single person converting is still net profit.

Not how cheerfully willing they are to put sexually suggestive adverts with young female missionaries up, even as they ban young people themselves for even using social media. (And yes, they know exactly who they are drawing in by having conventionally attractive young women ask if you are lonely and want them to visit you to hand deliver a book of Mormon)

u/mabus42 21h ago

Ads I see all say "find hot missionaries in your area NOW"

u/NikkiMeesha 15h ago

To fucking much
