I understand what you mean! What I (and probably most of us) want is the balance between "treat me like a normal person" (as in, with the same dignity and less condescension) and "don't set expectations too high". I believe portraying persons on the spectre as savant geniuses as in "Rain Man" or ADHD as a "superpower" skews the balance to one side and we just need some disclaimers to even it out.

To be serious, nobody would use that platform even there hadn't been any ads, because competing with YouTube is not an easy feat.

I should probably be happy that Rutube and VK Video gain popularity as the regional alternatives to the monopolist which gets more aggressive each day... if not that popularity has just been inflated by bought-out bloggers and comics from Putin's oligarch owned channels like TNT being directed to cease their YouTube presence, just so the government could have their own "YouTube without team Navalny".

but yeah, being more shitty than YouTube at delivering ads is not an easy feat, too!

Thunder, rain and lightng

Danger, water rising

Clamor, sirens wailing

It's such a bad sign

Should be more than baby grapes!

Not sure about other countries, but the Russian branch of Burger King had some uniquely bad sense of humor when it came to their ads. The most known as was a wordplay between "Don't get too spicy" and "Don't shit yourself", but there was another ad of chicken nuggets with a little chick in the corner saying something like "6 nuggets for 99 rubles!". I found it hilarious to see a chick advertising their mom.
