YouTube Bleeding Advertisers
Google can’t stop the haemorrhaging of its advertisers as they continue to pull their ads from YouTube over the Internet giant’s inability to ensure ads won’t appear next to hateful and offensive content.
YouTube videos centered around racist, homophobic, and anti-Semitic views are still scooping up ads from brands like Coca-Cola, Amazon.com and Microsoft, according to the Wall Street Journal.
PepsiCo, Walmart, Dish, Starbucks and GM all pulled their advertising, joining a growing list of dozens of companies in Europe and the US.
