Getting so many NSFW dating/straight up p##n ads. I shit you not they have even had CP ads I have seen. Disgusting and completely illegal.

The amount of ads that I get on mobile YouTube about meeting Ukrainian women is alarming to say the least

Do you have briefing history turned on? If so, hmmmm.....

Ads are served based on your browsing history. If you have never watched those, then you probably should check on you 8yo child or wife's who's using the same acc

Not necessarily true. They are mostly advertised as "music videos" or something like this. If YouTube would know it's porn or even CP, they wouldn't serve the ads and block the account.

There are other factors that also play a role like location or age.
