Overview:
YouTube has been the surface of LGBTQ members and creators, however it has been recently accused by the users themselves that are anti-LGBTQ brands against creator content. There are screenshots going around of one ad by Alliance Defending Freedom that is now circulating around Twitter causing the awareness.
Opinion:
I personally have a lot of anger towards this. Most of YouTube users and supporters are LGBTQ and to have this kind of disrespect is completely ridiculous. Content creators spent hours of their day to day lives working on their content to bring in viewers to help no only themselves, but YouTube as well. This just goes to show how much money and views are more meaningful to companies than their actual hard workers.
Questions:
Do you think that YouTube running these kinds of ads during pride month is a big deal? Why, or why not?
