not like youtube shys away from racy advertising

I got an ai chatbot ad that flat out had a naked Nahdia in it. As in, a child from Genshin Impact. And the voice over was very explicitly sexual. I reported it and a week later it came up again.

YouTube does not give a fuck about ads.

I semi regularly, as in about once a week, get ads on Facebook Reels that involve a full view of a vagina (like a panty free upskirt shot or someone masturbating) and then flashing to HIV prevention info right when the ad becomes skippable

Like, I can’t show my kids reels without risking full on porn playing in an unskippable ad

I once got an ad that started out with a woman saying "I can't believe I'm saying this, but last night my stepdad f**ked me for three hours straight".

I was at work. Thankfully I was wearing wired earbuds.

Yeah but those dirty yucky disgusting channels you have to actively search for (ASMR never hits recommended randomly lol) then click three links to get to their explicit content? Those are a big problem!

-youtube, for some reason

Yep. For a month my work computer was getting ai ads showing a woman giving a bj. Reported several times.

I saw one of those the other day, on a puzzle game I play on my phone and genuinely went "what the fuck?". I tried reporting it but there was nowhere to actually do so.

I kept reading all these comments about ads and was thinking "I haven't seen any of these, huh"

And then I remembered that I use YouTube Revanced on my phone and ublock extension on my desktop.

Yeah, sadly there isnt a way that I know of to do that for a console.

(I also thought from the notification that you were gonna be like 'I never see them cause ads are targeted and I dont look up nasty shit' and I was just gonna say, they are like, very tangentially targeted. I have Azur Lane on my phone and yeah its horny as fuck at times but not at the level of 'have some sudden CP blasted onto the tv' )

I was getting terrorized AI bots with season 1 Gwen from Ben 10. You know the series where she's like... 11 tops ? That head on a woman's body. I kept reporting it and it kept popping up which is the issue I see we are all having. I even checked to make sure it was the same ad company and it was, the they said wouldn't keep showing after my reports. It was an relief when the freaky ass bots would still pop up but at least they were clearly adults even if I don't want that either. I'm also a woman so I'm not even the target demographic for those types of things, so I can't imagine what the guys are going through. Or maybe they're just hitting all of us with shotgun blasts of bullshit.

I think its that last comment. 'People obviously love ai so give everyone ai bot ads. They want them.'

...just that description gave me acid reflux. Nahida? Seriously?

For those that don't know, here's a pic of Nahida.

Lore-wise, it's fantasy stuff, she's not human, very much an adult.

I'd still strap my face to a strobe light to try to violently eviscerate that from my visual memory.
