Get rid of Jason Bond(age) and Raging Bull(shit) spam on YouTube.


For any stock trader, tracking cooking make life living hell on the internet with a constant bombardment of target-oriented advertising, and nowhere this spam is more evident on YouTube. The two key offenders Ranging Bull and Jason Bond advertisements have driven every YouTube user to insanity with their infinitely repetitive and uselessly brainwashing propaganda disguised as advertising. Joseph Goebbels feels ashamed and if nations could declare war on YouTube for online crimes, these two advertisements would be good enough justification. The propaganda is grossly misleading and fraudulent. They typically appear at the start or mid of the video and their ad-nauseum repetition destroys viewer experience and takes a psychological toll on them.  

An easy kill for this spam is to go to the AdGuard website (link) and download the AdGuard extension for your favorite browser. I installed it on 21st June afternoon and have stayed online all day without a single advertisement on YouTube or any other website. Job well done; I must say. 

There are other software's out there which do similar functions and it is even possible to use host files which can invalidate DNS resolution for advertisement server. But what I found useful about AdGuard browser extensions is their stealthy capability, which does not hinder functionality or interferes with an online experience.
I tried the desktop version of AdGuard and it came up with the same issue of impacting functionality for websites that detect advertisement blockers. So, in a nutshell, browser extension does a fine and plenty of a job.

AdGuard is also available for Andriod mobile devices and while I have not tried it out in-depth, it seems to be doing a fine job. I will make a follow-up post later on the mobile experience.
