if this video gets restricted by KZfaq, I'm going to LOSE IT

Can we go back to the Angry Birds era?

"You can be as vulgar as you want. As long as you pay us." - KZfaq

"Sex sells, an unfortunate truth. Lust feeds greed, two of our worst vices." -Someone I know.

To this day this stuff still happens. It annoys me, who dislikes seeing all this thirst trap & over sexualized content, and when I was younger threw the device across the room over getting one of those suspicious "chose your path" dating type simulation ads. (no devices broken thankfully) It's outrageous, and why I typically use ad-blockers on KZfaq.

“You can’t infringe upon copyright or post sexually explicit material” *KZfaq ads are entirely copyright infringement and sexually explicit material

A year later and you were correct sir, mobile game ads have indeed gotten worse

The tragic part about the blue-haired girl in the FNF NSFW thumbnail is the story behind that character. That character is named Sky, and was made by an artist who was 15 year old at the time. That artist only created the OC to be a tribute to Boyfriend from FNF, but unwittingly saw her rise to popularity when, without him knowing, modders took her character and made a mod and songpack for her. The mod was really successful, but after it became popular a lot of players started sending harassing messages (including persecuting him with his deadname, as he's transexual) and NSFW images of Sky to the author. That made him go into literal breakdowns (We're talking about a 15 year old here, just as a reminder) and lash out against the community by posting images of blood and gore online. Eventually, the creator of the mod apologized and took it down, and even the server hosting most FNF mods prohibited the uploading of Sky content for a long time. Sky's author eventually wanted to distance himself from the character so much that he gave the rights to it to another creator...who later turned out to have been grooming minors. But of course advertisers think nothing of that and just plaster art of a character that hurt and haunted her UNDERAGE creator and his community in thumbnails, and KZfaq just lets them do that, because who the fuck cares about the mental health of a kid who has been scarred by that exact image, hmm?

It's fair to say that Saberspark didn't even have to expose KZfaq for their hypocrisy. Anyone with eyes can see that they did it to themselves.

If KZfaq takes this down, it'll just prove Saber's point

Fun fact, my brother did that too, where my moms debit card was hooked up to our kindles as a way of letting me buy books if I wanted them badly enough (with permission). My brother spent over $500 on mobile games and when my (very poor) mother went to take a look at her bank acct to wonder why the car payment and phone payment were calling her about not being able to go through, she freaked out. Thankfully the bank and Amazon refunded us but lord it was so ridiculous and we laugh abt it now but that was a time WITHOUT ads. I can’t imagine how it would be with ads. Also for context, my brother would sneak his kindle into his room at night to play games, my mom had bought them for us specifically for reading books cus we had super limited space where we were. After this my mom put heeeellllaaaa locks on it and removed her card info from his acct, and instead hooked it up to a gift card that’s he would occasionally reload.

For months now, youtube has been giving me AI girlfriend ads in my reccomended, and every time I click "block ad" or "dont show this ad anymore". KZfaq still keeps giving me these thirst traps. Some of them are just straight up advertising dating apps. I wish KZfaq would implement an age filter or something for ads, that allows people to turn off these annoying clickbait ads. Sadly they probably account for most of the ads on the platform, and such a decision would mean less $$$ for KZfaq.

Another thing with those Hustle Castle ads: Some of them said "18+" at the end, but the game's ESRB rating is E10+. lmao

"Is humanity just perpetually horny?" Well, the population sure isn't DECLINING

In my experience, the worst offenders are games like State of Survival. Some of their more recent ads blatantly mock their own business practices, and just make all of them look even worse. I think I’ve lost brain cells each and every time I’ve see them.

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who feels this way. I swear to God, if I had a nickel for every time I saw an inappropriate add, I'd be as rich as Elon musk and would be throwing millions around.

"Is humanity perpetually horny?" I mean, there's almost 8 billion people on the planet already...

KZfaq: makes sure that EVERYTHING is for kids, even if its marked as "not for kids" Also KZfaq:

i think the best simple way to yet explain ads even targeted towards younger audience is basically like a stranger on the street trying to offer a kid to get in there van or to show off something that is going to leave them scared and baited in even for things that they may like for example candy. which that's basically a way to explain it and hopes to show platforms like KZfaq and such grow to realise this is basically what it is in basic and even if this video really does explain how bad it all is to stuff like this.

the sniper in the ad at 21:28 fires a pistol bullet from her rifle and the character acts like they felt the recoil. As a person who has fired both 9mm handguns and rifles, if you fired a pistol bullet from a rifle that size you would likely not feel it at all especially while lying prone like that. if you were not wearing ear protection then you would feel your eardrums losing there hearing and that is about it.

Wasn't the demonetization apocalypse that took place in the mid 2010's all about advertisers being uncomfortable with the clickbait and sexualized videos KZfaqrs were cranking out? And thus, KZfaq changed it's policy to appeal to advertisers and punish the clickbait? Well now the ads ARE the clickbait, and KZfaq allows it while still punishing content creators I don't care if all of KZfaq ends up being nothing but scantily clad girls, as long as both advertisers and creators are treated the same. Either that, or all of KZfaq becomes as clean as a Christian Minecraft server, I'm just sick of the hypocrisy

YT: no sexually explicit content *Fine print: unless we're directly profiting from it

Yeah. At this point, there genuinely needs to be some form of government interception against all major companies that allow these ads to be approved. And instilling clear, strict enforced guidelines on how to advertise mobile games, with a hefty fine should the guidelines be violated. Maybe even development rights revoked and legal prosecution too.

The fact that this has aged so well

Saber: goes on rant about sexualised KZfaq ads KZfaq: why not watch an over sexualised ad??? No joke, that’s literally what happened to me

Let's not forget the ads that say "Don't hit that skip button or you'll miss out!" It's very satisfying to hit skip as they say that. Like "DENIED" XD Edit: spelling Thx for the likes, most I've ever gotten

21:10 the most comical part of all that is the fact that right after you said “Get a job”, I got a Burger King advert. I know it’s because of the whole camera-and-government thing, but I couldn’t help but laugh mentally when i put two and two together. Good thinking, government! That girl can go work at BK and get her hourly wage cut in half and that cut in half as well, as a “Just for You!” offer!

Thanks for covering this and calling out what it is. It's not a topic that's easily looked up or talked about and is being "normalized" on younger and younger audiences.

The best part about covering a topic like this, is that KZfaq can’t get upset without being called out on it

Not so fun fact: mobile game ads ARE actually illegal, due to literal lies and theft of intellectual property. But due to how many there are, and how the games are technically "free", no legal system cares enough to do anything about it.... so they even manage to get away with, quite literally, breaking the law. Edit: ok this is the most attention any comment or, really, Any internet thing at ALL i've made has gotten, so I will use this opportunity to self promote cause I see no better chance to do so: I'm getting out of high school roughly this year, and plan to either become a content creator on KZfaq, or a game dev. So, keep an eye out for potential videos from me in the future, whether it be progress updates on the game, or just me trying to make a career on here... Or don't. It's your choice, not really my place to say what you SHOULD do. Alright, self promotion over, ignore this if you don't care, bye.

Remember often seeing ads for a web comic called Learning the Hard Way. Decided to read it one day cause I was bored and the ads didn’t make out to be anything bad, really. Anyways so, I, ironically, learned the hard that one should not read it unless they’re 18+. I noped out of there real quick and have been scarred ever since! Ironic, or something akin to that, how an ad that wasn’t explicitly sexual ended up being such and vice versa for plenty of ads as of late, albeit for mobile games rather than web comics.

I legitimately just go one of those adds where they ask you questions and it asked me how my add quality has been Naturally I clicked “horrible”

I wouldn't mind the "sexually explicit content" in mobile game ads if companies like youtube were willing to grant content creators the same level of freedom.

I always freaking loved the animated clash of clans ads, they were so fun to watch.

Fun fact matpat did a whole video on ever tails ads and there seem to be some sort of cohescent story that he said himself would have been a lot. Cooler would have made the mobile game better. Would have made a decent game if they just used what was in the ads cuz when it was all pieced together it was kind of cool but they went a different route. They deceived all of the viewers with an ad for something that they just use that store line it will open better

Me: Pays for KZfaq premium so I don't waste time on ads Also me: watches a 40 minute long video on KZfaq ads

Wow. A few seconds in and Saber’s already pissed. This is gonna get ugly, isn’t it?

This is going to be your Magnum Opus XD

KZfaq literally recommend me a gacha heat ad with questionable art most of that community HATES or strongly dislikes gacha heat 😠 I have tried to get rid of it but there are MULTIPLE of these ads!? 😮‍💨😒

I remember when these were just basic ads,instead of the GARBAGE they are in the Modern Day. An example I thought of was Gardenscapes,this had either lacking or mid ads,similar to the candy crush saga,but now it has some of the infamous bad ads on the internet.I can unironically say that if they were more like Raid Shadow Legends,over advertised,then it would be 10000000 times less weird and ironically funny to some extent,but no,we got the worst possible timeline.

"Is humanity just perpetually horny?" We have pretty wild pictures drawn like... 100k years ago, I'm pretty sure our species has been horny from day 0.

Before anyone uses the "Oh, it's based on your watch history." excuse, it's happening to everyone. My brother, who's 9, watches the blandest, most child-friendly minecraft videos and clips of his favorite TV shows. He gets ads like this.

The worst part is that now i cant even report the ads anymore so the unskippable ones i gotta watch them entirely, or well, wait for it to end, but now i cant even do anything about it if it's unskippable

"is humanity perpetually horny?" yes we always were there are drawings of genitalia on ancient burried roman ruins

I literally have started collecting a lot of FNF ads that are extremely annoying and too risqué… I have almost a full album on them!!!

"Is humanity just perpetually horny?" Dude, how do you think there came to be so many of us?

completely agree with you man. These developers are taking massive advantage of kids and adults alike. it's sickening.

I saw a very unfortunate add for an rpg game that literally had to blur out this woman’s chest because she was a naked demon! And she just casually went up and sat on a guys lap! WHY DOES IT EXIST ITS DISGUSTING

I love how KZfaq's like "protecting kids on youtube: learn about how we protect the children in your life safe on youtube" and have a whole spiel on it-- and then have ads like this

Installing an adblocker is becoming a moral obligation.

Oh god the evertale ads. One of the only times i checked the google play store because of an ad. I mean a monster collecting game with straight up horror elements (like legit horror not creepypasta stuff), that sounded sooo dope. I don't know if i was more pissed that i got taken in or that NOBODY has made a good run at the idea (seriously look it up, most are in indefinite development, lame script hacks, or way too short map hacks from creepypastas).

Spot On, I've always seen that and questioned- what the heck were they even doing??? They allow so much to go out unchecked

Ya know... this would make great evidence for a lawsuit. There's an idea: let's petition the FTC to file a federal lawsuit against KZfaq, other hosting sites, and all mobile advertisers for ALL ADVERTISING REVENUE until such a time as everyone is held to the same strict standards and practices as the rest of us.

I especially love the mobile game ads that start with the sounds of the screams and sobs of children.

thank you for someone getting into this damn problem its really annoying i hate seeing these ads when watching videos!

26:01 the “hey come on, come on” sound is literally ripped straight from super smash brothers 😭

the funny part is that humanity actually IS perpetually horny because we’re not limited to a specific breeding season like other species

Saber's fixation on the moble game industry is interesting because it's the perfect balance of strangely specific research and justified salt

An aspect of advertising low quality games that I noticed (and absolutely disgusted by, for the lack of a better word), is when youtube gamers (and not only them) are sponsored by the developers of these games in order to be included in the video. The issue is that the gamers do NOT and would not play these games themselves. These games are not featured on these channels anywhere, besides the first minutes of the video where the sponsorship is present. Yet they speak highly of the games, like it is the most exciting and best game they've ever played. And if we talk about non-gamer channels, well, it is more obvious that the youtubers don't give a s..., ehhm, don't care about where they get the money, despite the channel's focus.

Hey Saberspark, you forgot a really weird ad in all those ad showcases at the beginning. I don’t know if it exists where you live, but it’s called *Crush Crush - Idle Dating Sim*. I’ve been seeing ads of it pretty frequently. Weirdest thing is, I don’t play those kinds of games! I play collection games and battle simulators, so I don’t even know why KZfaq is sending me those ads!

When they say "over 96% of people fail this test!" I always just assumed the fail condition was clicking the ad

I'm having a feeling that COPPA is going to say, "How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?"

7:41 >>>>>TIDAL>>>>>

26:49 i was playing nms at that moment and that biohazard thing sound kinda sounded like the warning voice so i had a miniature heart attack (was working on my paradise settlement so that should NOT have happened in game) lol

Honestly I love the vibe angry saber gives off nowadays, this and the Bible town video specifically, just beautiful.

If this is restricted by KZfaq it’s canon.

The scream at 19:02 is actually from the Super Mario 64 Beta

Thing is, the most effective one for me, is when it is so crazy to where I watch: THE ENTIRE ADVERTISEMENT because I am just trying to comprehend their mindset and sanity, but, again, that makes me watch all of it, so I learn about the company, the problem is that that’s not the information I wanted.

Head of Google: "That's so sad." *wipes tears away with money*

Not even good lewds tbh, definitely c tier boobah

You know whats sad is that this video isnt out of date two years later

The ad I saw to watch this video called Idle Angels. That had a guy's hand covering part of the obligatory hot cartoon girl and proclaimed that the had to do this to avoid censorship. It was too spicy to show the game as an ad. So, hypersexualization but in reverse. Instead of showing it, they promise its there to get people to play the game.

It is a sad time to realise that Lilly's Garden and raid shadow legends are the only mobile games putting effort and original content in their ad's.

The one ad that is absolutely unacceptable for me is one under PETA, which is trying to bring down a university that uses animal experimentation for medical resources. The ad immediately plays audio of owls screaming bloody murder, clearly in excruciating pain, with text describing what's supposedly happening in the given audio. While the reasoning behind this specific test on owls seems wildly unnecessary (it's an unfortunately brutal study on how the brain regulates where it directs its attention), I also found after some research, that PETA was also a tad misleading in their horrendously disturbing ad, and were blatantly trying to take advantage of people who would, understandably, become angry at the sounds of animals in pain. I first saw it about 4 months ago. It brought me to tears and made me lose sleep for the next couple of weeks. It really is disturbing. I'm commenting now as it *just* played again on a COOKING video. The first time I saw it, I wanted to give KZfaq the benefit of the doubt thinking SURELY it would be taken down. But nope, an ad with the first 5 seconds completely unskippable blasts itself in my face with piercing screams of a suffering animal. These crappy mobile game and even scam ads on the side of the screen are one thing, but how on earth is this, as an unavoidable ad before a video, allowed on this platform? Anyways rant over, I'm going to eat ungodly amounts of cereal to drown the pain

23:32 she pulled out the nine

Can someone tell google to not have scary clowns pop up when I search Ronald McDonald

I'd be playing a HARMLESS coloring game on my phone then all of a sudden some HIGHLY sexualized ad for some game that's not even the gameplay pops up and I feel like I have to hide my phone LIKE I DID SOMETHING WRONG

I actually worked for a mobile game company as a game designer back in 2019 where they made clones in which before the game even starts, there was a hug button than covered 80% of the screen where clicking anywhere would cost you 8000 indian ruppees. I was so disgusted after watching their other practices,i quit after 4 days and started my own company.

Has anyone else seen the $6400 stimulus check ad too? I swear a different person is trying to tell me to get it every ad on my phone.

Last week, me and my brother where going back home from school, for context he is in grade 2 and m in grade 9 ,he was just peacefully playing a game on his iPad ,basically the game was a drawing app where you just color things, but one of the drawings he was supposed to color was a rando anime character which literally almost no clothes on.......I deleted the app for him.

"That was the music from Monster's Inc." "I'LL STEAL A THOUSAND SOUNDTRACKS BEFORE I LET THIS GAME COMPANY DIE! AND I'LL LIE TO ANYONE, WHO WATCHES OUR BAD ADS!"

Imagine if Saber starts another adpocalypse, but this time it's against the ads themselves and advertisers with legitimate adverts start leaving.

This is actually absurd i been getting those ads even when i was under 18 at the time. This needs to be addressed so that it can be finally be dealt with

I know this is an old vid, but I was going through and rewatching some stuff, and I feel I have personal experience with this kinda junk. What it comes down to is addiction. I used to play those "dress up" games where you could buy outfits and enter contests that gave you exclusive outfit accessories and what-not if you won or got in the higher ranks. I remember having a minimum wage job, only making 200$ every week and I would spend pretty much ALL of it on these mobile games. There's this weird sense of "I HAVE to keep going. I WANT that item! Just another 20$!....okay, maybe another 40$ too!" It's a huge downward spiral that's incredibly hard to stop once you get going, and these mobile games rely on it. I haven't touched a mobile game in years, because I know how I am when I get pulled into one. But some people can't resist the urge, and mobile games praying on those kind of people is disgusting and sad.

Been a long wait, glad you were able to get it up onto this god forsaken platform

Having a young kid in the room with me as I watch this and hearing them parrot the noises/sound clips from these ads really puts it all into perspective.

15:23 "NOT!" Is that from THE ORACLE PROJECT?

The crazy part is there was actually an ad on KZfaq. I can’t remember what the name of the mobile game was but they completely stole footage from the Xbox game bio-mutant😂😂

I remember getting an ad for one of those weird, ancient China story games (you know the ones) . They were apologizing for their bizarre ads. Saying that they were just trying to imitate western ads to get more attention. And of course they were offering a free code to whoever gets their game at that moment as an even further apology. At first I felt bad for them. I didn't get the game of course (not my style) but I thought it was nice they apologized and seemingly stopped making those stupid ads. However, now it seems like several other games are doing the exact same thing. So I'm not too sure I feel all that bad anymore.

The hate, contempt, despisal and just "I'm fucking done" of this video is absolutely epic. I agree with all of it, and I would've loved to see you rant about this together with Jim Sterling.

30:09 this is so accurate… the pink dragon ads are INSANE.

I remember seeing a mobile game ad that stole music from Undertale, namely Sans' theme (not Megalovania, the other one called "sans.").

Saber: "Is humanity perpetually horny?" Ad: "Pinch the one eyed snake"

I find it hilarious that I got an ad that literally proves Saber’s point

I genuinely don’t think companies get as much money as the think from adds and once they fully realize that we probably won’t be seeing nearly as many as we currently do (or the very least. They won’t be paying out so much money to show them)

me too has mobile game ad problems like when im trying to enjoy a good game like cod mobile or pixel gun 3d or cross out mobile it happens it is like a digital hell

I've been waiting for this. KZfaq deserves to be called out 100%.

At least with the sheer amount of Raid: Shadow Legends ads and sponsorships that've circulated over the past 2 years, they were at least somewhat honest about the game.

Im glad someone thought this two years before me. As we all know, the advertisements are out of control, and having a bad influence over every user on the internet. I honestly have been reporting every single bad advertisement I have seen until this day. We all know women shaking their butts and some other body parts, materialized characters and sexual content in these advertisements are not the thing you need to see on the internet. This nonsense has to stop but it keeps getting worse each day.

How I watched this video: I was painting, so I only got to hear the audio from the ads, and it was a -goddamn trip- fun experience trying to recognize certain ads and trying to figure out _what the hell they were advertising by audio alone._
