So much whining from YouTube addicts. Never seen any ad like this. And I block ads manually all the time for other more 'regular' things. Maybe if you weren't always watching videos about Elon and Crypto you wouldn't see these thrown in the mix. You're the target!

True that! That does not absolve Youtube / Google from anything, however.

You get similar scams when watching videos about investment, CNBC and the likes.
