What exactly is this ad boycott contagion?
Can someone give me a summary of it, instead of me using my uber searching skills.
I have no idea dude... I'm about as lost as you are.

A bunch of companies run by Jews and Jew money that should have collapsed in 2008 but still exist due to bailouts decided they needed to Punish Google for not doing enough to censor criticism of Jews. So now anything critical of Jews will be removed and users who post or view it will be banned from Google and put on blacklists for these Jewish companies meanwhile everything critical of Muslims and White people will remain. yadayada

Ads were appearing before or during videos the advertisers didn't want to be associated with.
The register likes childish headlines.

I don't get this. I may not like my brand associated with midget hate but people watching midget hate videos don't mind the association. You can't loose if the people you fear being judgemental are the people who are the least judgemental of the subject. What this really is is investors and proxies.
Let's say I'm Tide. I contact Ad Mob or some shit like that to do youtube ads or whatever. Ad Mob can complain to google (they are the same thing by now but lets not worry about that), our customers don't like be associated with racism. Meanwhile Tide is smart enough to not care. Mob is just saying that because that's what certain people want them to say.
Now Google is legitamately worried but not too worried. They understand the market dynamics and how that the market has an incentive to not give a shit and it will pan out. But voices of reason are suppressed because they kind of like this outcome anyway. So they express their concern to the content creators in a forceful way.
Maybe ad mob did get one complained by some small customer but we know companies don't consistently act within their own interest once politics are involved so they magnify their concern.
In other words it's a stampede of concern promulgated by the politics of different organizations in the chain. In reality would Tide lose one sale if their ad showed on "The greatest story never told?" Not a single sale would be lost.

Regardless of morals and politics, Google's ad service is terrible and advertisers are getting a terrible deal because in spite of a robust system of genres and subject tags, Google refuses to use revelevant ad placement on YouTube. If a user has been binging top gear highlights, maybe that is an appropriate place to serve up some car and carpart ads. Nope, washing detergent. This would make me furious If I was a customer paying for exposure.

you'd be surprised what sort of correlations big data can turn up. maybe people who binge top gear highlights tend to have a high percent of people who purchase washing detergent. you watch top gear chances are higher you own a car and a home which implies washing machine which implies you need washing detergent at some point.
