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?

or advertise their name

As in, the name of the drug or the name of the company?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

both the name of the drug and/or the manufacturer.

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.
