Tommy Robinson’s commercial breakdown

The far right hooligan complained about receiving YouTube ads about 'Gay Love'. But how did they get there?

Angry about suggestions that social media cesspit X could face a ban in the UK – the site being owned by Elon Musk, the man who pays his legal bills – football lout Stephen Yaxley-Lennon took to the platform.

“While Keir Starmer wants to heavily regulate if not BAN X outright, because of ‘weak content moderation’, I wonder what he thinks of YouTube ads that advertise ‘Gay Love’ with No Age Limit”, asked the serial criminal who likes to be known as Tommy Robinson.

He posted a screenshot of said ad, for a service allowing people to contact “single gay men online”, and added: “Let’s be realistic, he wants to control X because he FEARS it”.

Alas for Yaxley-Lennon, fellow users piled in to point out that ads on YouTube are… personalised depending on the kinds of videos you’ve interacted with or searched for previously. 

The far right rabble-rouser quickly deleted his post, then posted another mad rant, claiming that those who mocked him were “pro child mutilating pro child abusing wankers”, that he would “continue exposing your EVIL LGBTQ+ degeneracy” and that the ads were popping us because, as he now claims to be a “journalist”, “I research whats [sic] going on in the world”.

“Have fun with this post you kiddie fiddling left wing wet wipes,” he signed off. Did someone hit a nerve?
