2017 Superbowl commercials appear on Youtube pre-roll before ISIS videos

On Super bowl day, companies paid up to $5 million for 30 seconds to be seen by the right demographic. Meanwhile on Youtube, the same ads are pre-rolls to terror-linked videos. This years Superbowl ads from brands like Budweiser Hyundai ad, are pre-rolls on terror-linked video channels such as wowlwowl and Qyran TV. Sermons like “Nasheeds”, which are aimed at radicalizing a fresh crop of jihadists, carry "you're not you when you're hungry" Snickers ads. Youtube has an automated system that shotguns ads onto all sorts of channels, and Youtube is very bad at weeding out seriously objectionable content automatically, which is how you get such bizarre combinations of brands and jihadists.
