Youtube advertising is absolute trash. It's already bad enough to sit through ads when you don't even know if you want to watch the video. Their ads consist of fake Joe Rogans with tts voices advertising scams.

I get some dodgy casino and gambling ads ... Before a children's program. Reported the ad multiple times, but it keeps coming back under a different name.
