        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

          Ads are served based on your browsing history.

          Not really. Ads served on Google ecosystem is geo-based, if you don’t logged in your Google account or where your YouTube connected. You cannot get rid of it, unless you wipe all Chrome and Android users.

          I’m pretty sure there’s nothing in my browsing history that would suggest I’m looking for a boyfriend 🤮

      Simply not having them repeat so often would already go a long long way. I always end up with the same ad 20 times in a row and it’s not even relevant to me. I don’t get how the ad industry can be worth billions of dollars and be so complete crap at what they do. Most of the stuff I watch on Youtube is essentially already an ad to begin with, all the unboxing, reviews, sponsored content, etc. is just showing me what new products are out there, and they do it in an entertaining fashion. Why are the actual ads so much worse?
