    I use Youtube near exclusively with adblockers so never seen anything of the sorts, so I’d like to ask for you to give examples of such ads.

    Just add it to the “Google doesn’t give a shit” pile. For example, they don’t allow “mass-produced” or “inauthentic” content on the platform and to be fair, they do seem to be cracking down on some, but there’s still a sea of monetized AI slop they have to wade through before we can call this particular policy enforced.

    Just stop watching YouTube altogether.

    Let’s be honest with ourselves. It is not quality time spent. I mean a tutorial left and right ok, but once you get too people having opinions on other people their opinions concerning a third person’s opinion regarding… that kinda bs… nah man I’m done.
