Inappropriate ads on Youtube

[billubakra]

Nothing like 18+, I just opened youtube app & then scroll down the home screen for a minute with maybe 1 ad & rest all were video suggestions.

Redmi K20? Rom?

Redmi K20? Rom?

Yes, default manufacturer rom based on Android 9.

Android 10 is not that good, you get new features but you may not like it. I hope Android R will not disappoint.
Downgrading to Android 9 seems good option for blocking ads.
AdAway was working fine on Android 9 for in app ads for YouTube but in Android 10 YouTube ads are aggressive.

Check other forums those porno ads are normal in YT.

I never got those type of Ads on youtube.

Can you PM me the forum links ? I would look into that.

I've never encountered as well. Which makes me thing it's perhaps a regional thing.

I "think" it has to do with the oems/os. I have also not seen those kinda ads in my oneui. Yt in my friends phone is full of it. They are using bugplus, oppo and stuff. I might be wrong.

2 more things: These ads seem to only appear on youtube app. Can people confirm this ? Second: As someone who searches for ahem SFW images. As in non-nude stuff on google Images, I can say that google algorithms are extremely extremely good at identifying NSFW from sfw images. I still feel its unlikely for such ads to slip google. Modded apps, comprised OS, are my prime suspects. Who knows it may have come modified from the store..

@TigerKing I saw your deleted post so your idea does seem probable. Jio is no doubt used in a major way for watching pron so maybe google algorithm is tailoring ads depending on accessing network behaviour. I don't have a jio connection to test but I checked with local cable isp & airtel 4g with no difference in ads(aka no inappropriate ads).

Yes.
I was checking ads on wifi and mobile internet.
But I already installed AdAway, so deleted the post.
Surprisingly from 2 days I was not getting any new dating app ads. Only 1 banner ad on top of homepage on YouTube app.
I think those inappropriate ads appearing because I flashed new ROM a week back and set Google account.
It's just confusing.
Maybe AdAway not updating host or something wrong with the list etc etc.
