My wife turned off her adblocker so she could watch some videos.

Within 20 minutes I heard tobacco ads, gambling ads, alcohol ads, and some ads that sounded like outright scams.

It's a moral imperative to use an adblocker at this point.

Are tobacco ads legal where you live? Not sure I've ever even seen one in my life.

They don't have to be legal. In Finland we are getting YouTube ads for a sports betting website. That's illegal. (Only the nationally regulated gambling monopoly can do that, and even they have massive restrictions on what kind of advertising they can run.)

In the off chance that you can report the ad to YouTube (can't do that on TV or Android), YouTube has nuked the ad. Doesn't matter. The ad has been submitted via bazillion different advertiser accounts.

A semi global campagn on youtube was literally the "hot singles in your area" ad. Across multiple profiles and days. one was literally pedophile bait.

Gee youtube, Thanks for the dead mouse present. /s
