Video ads and clickbait ads

[bobthehobbyguy]

Latest irrating ads are video ads. 

Second we are getting tons of clickbait ads for uncensored pictures. The regular ads are bad enough but those uncensored ads are not suitable for the site.

I have tried to report them by they keep coming back.

Try the Brave browser.....it eliminates a lot of that.

Yes there have been a lot of adult oriented ads lately.

i searched for vespa on google. then clicked on the vespa site. then clicked on the store. 
 

after that, i get nothing but vespa ads.  before that, i got a bunch of the stuff you guys mentioned.

I’ve been getting some pretty degenerative/raunchy ads as well on this site, stuff like “Uncensored: 25 Photos of Grocery Shoppers Gone Wrong” or “How to (inappropriate) everyday at 65”, with suggestive photos attached to the titles. I’ve just been reporting them. What sucks the most is that children who visit the site are likely to be subjected to these ads.

That whole "blah blah blah" thing doesn't work when it's a picture of a T-shirt.

I took another tour of the ads and blocked a bunch. What happens is that an advertiser miscategorizes their ad a not adult when it should be. I report them, but the same ads pop up again under a different company, and the review cycle starts all over again. Don't even get me started about ad fraud.

Thanks Dave. Definitely a pain. And google is worthless in controlling the ads.

That sounds similar to SPAM and Robo calls we are fighting on our phones.  So much guano to deal with!

Period.

This one was so dumb that it made me laugh. What are they even advertising here?

The fact that the intelligence of the average consumer (and whoever markets to him) is in free-fall?
