GC Social MediaSponsors of YT creators are a good way to judge their targeted audience
Posted October 12, 2023 by NastasyaFillipovna in GenderCritical

YT was recommending me some videos of a creator who made a few videos about TIMs, TransWidows, how stuff like OnlyFans is bad for women overall etc.

Those videos were good, but they were sponsored by a company that sells "Male Underwear". And then I saw her other videos. Sad to say the primary audience seems to be males by the title of her videos. Didn't watch it all, but her videos about Trans Widows was interesting. Atleast someone is talking about it

Nah, male underwear gets advertised to adult women because they are often buying it for their spouses (as gifts if nothing else).

I don’t think YT creators have a say in which ads are played on their videos.

Unless you’re talking about an actual sponsorship where the creator personally shills for a company during the video.

Yeah I am talking about the actual sponsorship they shill for like 2 mins in a 15 min video or so.

The ads that get chosen by YT itself also follow their algorithm. Google knows if you're male/female/trans based on their data collection so they know who's watching what videos and adjust ads accordingly.

I think those ads are personalized to YOU though. Not the creator.

I clicked a bra ad once on Twitter and now nearly all my YT ads are for that bra company. No matter what I’m watching.
