Why YouTube show ads of brave browser which competes with Google Chrome?
I am surprised to discover it in Youtube Ads. The browser competes with Chrome, why Google will show its ads on one of its products?
I think forbidding a competitor to advertise on the main video network would be seen as an anti-competitive practice, Alphabet and Google probably don't want to give more arguments to people who want them to split their activities in smaller companies.
Not to be snarky, but they paid for them.
I'm not incredibly familiar with the ad buying process for product that compete with Google, but I don't imagine they would restrict those ads.
Because Brave isn't their competitor?
If anything it helps them - The illusion of choice in a chromium world
If this works like any large company then YouTube is seeking to maximize revenue and doesn't really care what's going on with Chrome. In the 1990s there were cases of things like IBM fabbing chips for HP servers, which competed with IBM ones. More recently Azure runs plenty of Linux and Linux instances - rather than only Windows.
To me, the bigger surprise is that these ads on YouTube promote that Brave blocks YouTube ads.
money... google likes it, brave has it to spend.
I think its because Google isn't afraid of them in the least.
It also is probably a decision made to prevent monopoly complaints. If they were to stop ads for Brave or other browsers showing, using their advertising arm either on Youtube, or the web in general, it would bring attention to and provide an impetuous to break up Alphabeta (Google's parent company) for being too broad.
