    American pharmaceutical ads are weird. I guess I’m just not free enough to understand them?

      Canada is a bit on the weird side too. For us companies can either advertise what their drug does, or advertise their name, but not both.

        What? How does that work? Have I just never noticed because we get so many American ads?

        Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/l9Jblh5ssrw?si=GUZnOHOUXxHHpaG5

        Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

        I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.

            You can just use NewPipe.net
            I don’t think there’s a difference privacy wise, as piped likely doesn’t proxy the video data itself.

    I mean, here (in Germany) we have ads for meds too, but only for freely available stuff that you can reasonably self-medicate. Like ibuprofen and stuff

      You mean the ads with the old people who, suddenly, are able to cycle again?

    TV: “Ask your doctor about DRUG today!”

    Me: “Shouldn’t my doctor be the one telling me about DRUG? Cuz, like… He actually thinks I need it?”

    Of course even that is not necessarily the best… If the doctor gets a kickback for pushing a certain drug, they’re no better.

    *watching sport stream from American tv channel *

    Hmm, this psoriasis drug seems quite effective! Maybe I should ask my doctor about it!

    Warnings at the end of the ad: “do not take if you have, have had, or ever will have the sniffles, as the deaths of yourself and everyone you’ve ever loved will result”

    Nah, I think I’ll pass…
