If they want me to stop blocking ads, they will need to get rid of ads like this. I get ads like this all the time and it’s completely inappropriate.

I don't get ads like that too often, but the annoying thing for me is when the ad is 10x louder than the video itself.
There was this one add that had a gunshot sound then a really high pitched whistle.
They might have gotten in trouble as the whistle sound was eventually removed.
Seems like ad targeting works
My kid has an old tablet that he uses, and I have to block & report this crap constantly. The little dude is 7. It's not like he is getting targeted for those sorts of websites and apps. All he wants to do is play tower defense games. Just let the boy play tower defense games and save the porn ads for someone else.
