Ad views aren’t sold individually, though views’re certainly involved as a metric. These fucks will take all the money they can, every time, and for as long as they can get away with it.
Your “never” there is endearingly naive, no offense, and I do hope that you’re not at all surprised the next time you read/hear about any/every tech giant emphatically shitting on everyone & everything for profit, but getting <1% TR fines when (not “if”) they get caught and taken to court. 🥲🙇🏼♂️
Ad impressions absolutely are tracked. You pay per impression or click IIRC (per 1000 impressions, really - they’re pretty cheap).
Advertisers on YouTube include some huge companies. They’d tear Alphabet a new anus if they were being short changed on their impressions and found out.
Yes, and I didn’t argue that specific point, but you missed the content in the hurry to downvote, friend. I’m not sure what inside connect you have, or skin in the game, but I’m not keen on fishing about in constipated arguments w/ anons, thanks. Have fun!
Not even this comment, that was also someone else:
You’re saying advertisers are paying for ads even if they’re not being shown to people. I’m going to have to disagree with that because literally if that came out, it would kick off Adpocalypse 2.0. A company like Apple, Disney or Amazon (some of the biggest ad spenders on YouTube apparently) will have slightly more power in court than you or me. Those are the customers that would be fucked over, not the viewers.

Unlike you, I haven’t downvoted you.
