I built this website. From scratch. Including the servers.
Additionally, from the BBC who report that Mars, Lidl, Adidas, Deutsche Bank, Cadbury and others have pulled all advertisements from YouTube now.
The BBC was alerted to the scale of the problem by volunteer members of YouTube's Trusted Flagger programme who alert the site to potential violations of its guidelines.
Trusted Flaggers who talked to the BBC said there could be up to 100,000 active predatory accounts on the site, all of which were able to survive because the system to report them did not work well.
YouTube has responded to the twin investigations by shutting accounts used to make predatory comments and by turning off comments on thousands of videos.
The ad suspensions come only days after YouTube unveiled new measures that were supposed to limit the spread of sexualised and violent content.
In what magical city do these people live where it looks like Brooklyn but a kid can ride a bike around the whole place alone, carrying an expensive gadget that they don't get robbed of or forget on the counter of a deli?
I'll bet you cold hard cash that the person who wrote this has no kids, but vivid false memories of their own free roaming childhood in the early 90s, which is what this looks like - helmet and all (us seventies kids had no helmets)
It's possible that this a generational thing, but the "I'll be working from home today because I have a very heavy period" email really grated me. At one point in time, the idea that women would use that kind of excuse to stay at home literally kept us out of certain jobs. I dislike that this ad encourages that.
And before anyone gets mad at me for asking y'all to put your big girl pants on; I have endometriosis, I have had surgery three times and been in ambulances too. I know what a truly heavy period is.
Last years effort from the same brand, Libresse "Blood" which showed a Joan of Arc and many sports is a much better ad, imo. The soundtrack on that is great, and the point well delivered.
They also put their statement out on Twitter;
