Recently there are AI generated adds created to be pornographic draws for user clicks. This week it's a woman sucking a man's cock. Naturally I find this a bit disturbing because children will be seeing these same adds. Perhaps I should notify the FTC about this Porn on Youtube. Bad news is I expect they will do nothing.

BTW I do have a screenshot of this crap as a JPG file but won't post it here unless Parabellum approves of the display of this screenshot. What I would really like to do is send this image to Youtube and ask why they are allowing pornographic advertising on Youtube.


I've stopped counting.

You should be able to report the content to YouTube, but the process might change depending on how you are viewing content (phone, computer, or TV).

There is a “send feedback” link on the YouTube site, including the option of including a screen shot. I have no idea whether it would accomplish anything, but it’s possible.

I've seen those too. I tried to block/report the ad, but it still wouldn't go away.

The local news media here has been on that very thing for the past few weeks. Often your local media has no local news except for the pothole on Mrs. Johnsons street. I can guarantee once You Tube becomes aware it will be history at least for a while,

I had a couple of those show up a while back. They creeped me out so much that I got out of the vid as fast as I could, didn't wait for the freaky shit to show up.

For a company with so many rules, and copyright strictness, they sure have no problem with fake videos, deceptive/dishonest ads, potentially dangerous ads/products..

For a while there last year, I was getting ads for no-shit Glock switches. The real deal. Whether it was a company actually selling them or just some glowboi fed honeypot stuff, I have no idea. I reported the ads and they stopped after a while. But yes, I had the same thought. They'll censor political speech they don't like and you still can't talk about Covid, but you can have ads for dick pills and illegal machinegun conversions. Makes all kinds of sense.

Seems like for about a week, every damn video I clicked on had one of those. Now that you mention it, I don’t think I’ve seen one for maybe 3 weeks.

Over the last few years, if you typed in 'Glock', it would show gang bangers with switches either at the top or close to the top of the search results. All while suspending legitimate firearms related accounts for ridiculous TOS violations.

I have reported these ads every time they appear

Never a reply, and sadly they are still there.

Turn off your view history in YouTube and go into the “ad center” and change things there. I never see anything porn related. Check your privacy settings too.

If you don’t like what you see on YouTube, stop looking at YouTube.

I’m not doubting the people who say they see these pornographic ads on YouTube but I have to wonder what you guys have been watching. I’m no prude but I have never seen those ads on my YouTube.

You should go check the history of videos you’ve watched. Someone else might be using your account if you’re surprised by these ads. You go to lists and history should be the first.

Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

I watch video's about my Hobbies. Meaning cars, Guns, and Photography. This was not an ad within a video, this was an ad put up by Youtube on the "home" screen. I've edited out the nasty bit but use your imagination and you get the idea.



I've stopped counting.

I don’t understand that. I’d be embarrassed if that showed up on my screen even though I don’t have a habit of showing my YouTube to another person.
