youtube's most watched ads for 2017

http://adage.com/article/digital/youtube-reveals-watched-ads-2017/311544/

not that I watched them

quote:

Most of you will skip this introductory text and scroll straight through to the videos, but YouTube's annual list of most watched videos, which has just been released, has some noteworthy trends: ads were longer, brands that took a stand got more views, and the most watched spot hails from India, not the U.S.

This year's most-watched ads were more than twice as long as last year's, and seven out of 10 feature themes of inclusion, diversity or empowerment compared with two in 2016, the company says.

This year's top ad on the Google-owned streaming giant was created by Chelli India. Going for the heartstrings, it features a Samsung employee who crosses a variety of obstacles to repair a TV for a group of children just in time for their favorite show. There's a bit of a plot twist toward the end, and if you haven't seen it, check it out—some 150 million people already have.

fuckin cant stand when poo poo like that draws emotions


like people point towards the the start of the movie up as good story telling because within 10 minutes you meet someone and then you're crying

its good directing, and its using the power of magic and psycology to abuse your brain into feeling hella emoitions and making ya think something intense is happening

tbf theres only four parts to a tv the screen the housing the control board and the power supply (and the last two could be one unit in some sets)

if the housing or the screen break you can see how those cant be fixed so youre left with the ps or the control board. the power supply runs about $100 and thats usually easy to diagnose it either powers on or it doesnt so thats around $150 to $200 for a guy to come to your house and replace that so i can see going that route

the control board is a bit dicier since they can cost $250-$300 and youre looking at another $100 on top of that for a guy to come out. youre now looking at the choice of paying $400 to fix a tv that is obviously some years old and can probably be replaced for less than that if you wanted equivalent specs or not much more than that if youre looking to update to 4k or newer smart crap or w/e and in the end youre still not guaranteed it will fix it. it could be the cable from the board to the screen thats bad or it could be within the display assembly itself and now youve thrown $400 at an older tv that still needs to be replaced

my parents just went through all of this (b/c old people hate everything new) and ended up just having to buy a new tv anyway. the tl;dr is that you can fix a tv but you shouldnt bother
