Over the past few months, I’ve begun watching quite a bit of pro-LGBTQ+ content on your platform. During that time, though, I’ve noticed a major uptick in how many queerphobic ads I receive - and curiously enough, a conspicuous lack of pro-LGBT ads.

I’ve heard that the algorithm for targeted advertising probably pays attention to video tags, and that makes sense... but the fact that it’s not able to distinguish between pro-LGBT and anti-LGBT content is problematic. Is anything being done about this issue?

I really don’t want to activate Adblock, since I really do want to help support the people I watch, but if I can’t be certain that I won’t be reminded in the middle of an Ash Hardell video, of all things, that a good portion of my country wishes that my community didn’t exist...

...I might not have much of a choice. The emotional health impacts are just not worth it. As far as I know, a lot of other LGBTQ+ users have already gone that route or are considering it for the same reasons, so it really is in your best financial interest to look into this.
