Among the people who first called for the boycott of NTV as a “lying” channel as well as advertisers, specifically Procter & Gamble, is blogger Alexander Plyushchev.
22-year-old Anastasia Tereshenko, who studies art history and works in the Tretyakov Gallery, also blogged calling for a boycott of Procter & Gamble.

YouTube Hijacked by Notorious Adware Company
After victimizing Facebook and The
Here’s how it works: Users who want to download YouTube videos to their desktops conduct searches such as “Download YouTube videos." Technically, this is against YouTube's terms of service; but if consumers chose to go forward with these searches are likely to encounter a pair of downloadable plug ins from Sambreel: Easy YouTube Video Downloader plugin and Best Video Downloader. Once users download these plugins, upon their next visit to YouTube, Sambreel starts serving its own ads on YouTube.com—without YouTube’s knowledge.
"If Twitter started allowing iJustine or Vsauce to publish videos to Twitter with a revenue share of 70% to the creator and 30% to Twitter, they would get 100% of the top YouTubers to do it."
