谷歌YouTube不停地向我推送来自另一个州的政治广告。
我知道很多人在 hn 上使用广告拦截器，所以这里给大家展示一下没有使用广告拦截器的 YouTube 体验。我并不住在新泽西州，也与新泽西州没有任何关联。我没有朋友或家人和新泽西州有关系。然而今天，我在 YouTube 上看到的每一条广告都是针对新泽西州州长选举的政治广告。不是开玩笑。我根本没有机会在新泽西州投票。大约七年前，我偶尔使用过一个有新泽西 IP 地址的 VPN，那是我能想到的与这个州的唯一关联。我的当前 IP 地址和位置距离新泽西州最近的地方至少有 100 英里。
对我来说，这就是广告欺诈。谷歌正在向政治竞选收取那些根本不在选区内的人的广告展示费用。

I know many on hn use ad blockers so here is a glimpse of what YouTube is like for some without them. I do not live in New Jersey, I have no association with New Jersey. I have no friends or family associated with New Jersey. And yet today every single YouTube ad is a targeted political ads for the new jersey gubernatorial election. No joke. I have zero chance of voting in a New Jersey election. About 7 years ago and not since then I used a VPN on occasion that had a new jersey IP address that's the only link I can concieve of I would have to the state. My current IP address and location is at least 100 miles from the nearest point in New Jersey.<p>To me this is ad fraud. Google is charging political campaigns for impressions by people not even located in the constituency.
