An exclusive interview behind the scenes of the latest reporting
00:00 - 00:05 | So I'm talking to the New York Times |
00:05 - 00:07 | And Google's telling them "this is no big deal" |
00:07 - 00:10 | "we settled a lawsuit with viacom over this ages ago" |
00:11 - 00:16 | "The judge said we were not guilty because we didn't recommend the piracy to our users" |
00:17 - 00:21 | But my reports got dozens of screenshots and videos |
00:21 - 00:24 | showing the pirated videos upload on the YouTube homepage |
00:29 - 00:31 | I have videos of Deadpool & Wolverine |
00:31 - 00:34 | in Aug 2024 on there |
00:38 - 00:40 | The movie was still in theaters |
00:41 - 00:47 | And I captured 30 or 40 ads running on it |
00:47 - 00:50 | and that wasn't the only one |
00:50 - 00:56 | When I went back to check last month |
00:58 - 00:59 | I found....i found.... |
00:59 - 01:01 | Lilo and Stich on the homepage too |
01:04 - 01:06 | Bog Iger has to be shitting his pants right now |
01:06 - 01:08 | Google steals a key executive from him earlier this year |
01:13 - 01:14 | and now |
01:14 - 01:16 | he finds out |
01:16 - 01:20 | they're helping the assholes stealing his movies |
01:21 - 01:27 | The movie studios spend like $30-50M a year each on YouTube Ads |
01:35 - 01:36 | And now they realize |
01:36 - 01:39 | they've been advertising to movie pirates the whole time |
01:41 - 01:44 | But seriously |
01:44 - 01:47 | Google is telling clients as we speak |
01:47 - 01:49 | that they are going to make improvements to fix this |
01:50 - 01:53 | and not to worry |
01:54 - 01:56 | but we also documented that |
01:56 - 01:58 | people fool google |
01:58 - 02:02 | by re-editing the illegal movie or live sport stream |
02:05 - 02:07 | after everyones watched it |
02:10 - 02:11 | to show a vietnamese woman folding paper |
02:11 - 02:13 | or coloring |
02:15 - 02:17 | And when the advertiser clicks the link |
02:17 - 02:20 | in their reports they're wondering why |
02:21 - 02:28 | So many fucking people are watching a random woman |
02:29 - 02:30 | folding paper? |
02:30 - 02:32 | doing arts and crafts |
02:36 - 02:39 | And the Google Reps will tell them |
02:40 - 02:42 | That's just where the algorithm |
02:50 - 02:55 | thinks their campaign will get the best performance |
02:56 - 02:58 | And the advertisers spend lots of money on this? |
02:58 - 03:04 | Billions of dollars every quarter |
03:04 - 03:09 | vaporizing into god knows where |
03:09 - 03:11 | Maybe another episode of Squid games season 3 |
03:16 - 03:20 | And Nielsen says Netflix is losing to YouTube |
03:23 - 03:26 | Netflix is losing to Netflix on Youtube |
03:31 - 03:36 | And every other studio and sports channel for that matter |
