Covid and other stuff at the time. And most ad's running here were republican really. The RNC spent a lot of money for nothing in Southern Arizona.

Wonder why that is if there running other places?

Could be. Because we don't have any elections coming up soon and I don't have cable/satellite.

A bunch of us don't see very many ads online unless we choose to find them and watch them. In my case, it's rare to see any at all. That's how I like my internet. YMMV.

Besides, even if I had more open access to ads, the ones I would see wouldn't be the same as your ads--or anyone else's. What ads anyone sees online are unique to the user's internet activity, meaning they're based on what sites you visit. Do you watch K-Pop videos? Look up mystery books, old and upcoming? Buy nail polish online and watch swatching videos of them? Then you won't see the ads I would, because my ads will be geared to those things, not to the things you look at online.

That's why many DU users know about ads like this only through members posting about them. This particular one made the rounds that way, weeks ago.

I try to spend my time here and on YouTube. I got a star and pay for pay premium service on YouTube. So if there are I'm not seeing them.

Part of me trying to not stress out. But trump is really not helping. See I do my best to keep informed by coming here, but if it gets to much I go over to the Lounge. I watch movies and funny videos on YouTube, but when I need some new. I click on CNN,MSNBC, and BBC channels over there.

In fact, I've seen one presidential ad, and it was for the defendant. I haven't seen any for Biden as yet.

Some of us don't watch tv night and day, so don't feel bad if you missed an ad. We'll all be bombarded with them soon enough.

Gave me a delightful laugh this morning. After everything else on the news and DU it’s good to laugh when we can.
