I haven't seen porn in an ad, but there was a month when I kept getting deepfake Elon Musks giving investment advice every time I tried to watch something on YouTube.

Maybe YouTube puts us into different ad groups, or something like that.

So, from my perspective, YouTube ads have an opposite effect... when I see something advertised on YouTube, I automatically suspect that it is some kind of scam.
