YouTube thinks I'm Latino.

90% of the commercials are in Spanish.

Not sure when this started, but if I log in, Spanish it is. It's not a VPN thing, it's not a cookies or history thing. None of the videos I watch or channels I subscribe to are in Spanish. Very odd.

Ad blocker to block all ads would fix that.

Also, maybe check your closed captioning settings. If it was accidently set to spanish, maybe that would affect the ads. Don't know if it's relavent but who knows?

Even my SamsungTV app does the commercials in Spanish, on the F1 & Top Gear channels

Are there any ad blockers you can recommend for iPhone and iPad?

I was born a male and I've always identified as a male.

But according to Stouffer's
lasagna,

I am a family of four.

You were probably just trying to see how the weather was.

I use Android so am not aware of what is available for Apple products. However the only way I can avoid ads on YouTube on my phone/tablet is if I use the Brave browser instead of the YouTube app. Usually I just don't watch YouTube on anything but my laptop though.

Yup, no ads at all on YT via Brave.
Makes me really dislike using the YT app on my phone or TV.

Isn’t AI great. It can identify for you. Avoids all the angst one would go through to self identify].
