I am submitting this plea to YouTube/Google on behalf of over Billion of People around the globe, who uses YouTube as a primary source of videos streaming website which includes taking lesson and education, not just for entertainment purpose. Over Billion people use it everyday for various purposes and YouTube has become more popular than ever before during Covid-19 era. 

People use YouTube for religious matters as well in big numbers everyday, such as Lessons, Educational Poems,  Discussion, Lectures and other mean of religious videos.

However, it is EXTREMELY PAINFUL and DISTURBING when you see an advertisement during the Religious Video. Imagine kids are getting education via YouTube video and suddenly a musical/inappropriate ad comes up on the screen. This changes/ruins the purpose and the mood of the students/listener/audience in zero second and its hurting emotionally.

We, the people, user, audience of this biggest video streaming platform of the world, requesting YouTube/Google to please STOP showing any type of ads on RELIGIOUS MATERIAL effective immediately, and this is for ALL RELIGIOUS VIDEO MATERIAL, REGARDLESS, and without any discrimination against one group of people.

Please reconsider and revisit your advertisement policy for RELIGIOUS MATERIAL at least for those who cannot afford YouTube Premium service and they are the biggest viewer of YouTube. We would appreciate your kind consideration on this serious issue. 

We are assuring you that, YouTube will gain extreme popularity with this popular decision and this single decision will increase viewership like never before. We hope that YouTube/Google will consider this plea/request on immediate basis and understand the sentiments of billions of people, who uses YouTube service to connect to their religion everyday.

Thank you
