Are those targeted ads? What have you been up to? /s
This is what is confounding about this. This account/device, has only interfaced with youtube for purposes of a friend's music. The only things it has done is watch his channel, and upload to it.
Had it been on my account, I could easily see how clicking on links with terms like furry in them, on places like lemmy, might lead to something like this. However this is a device, and account specifically created to have only "clean" history when interfacing with this account. Also, it would have been blocked on my account, but using a creator account with ad block on can get the account banned.
Only now did I realise the potential of targeted AI-generated ads. I'd never buy whatever they're selling ofc, but imagine seeing an ad with a character from some obscure 2000's game barely anyone else played on your feed.
I'm assuming that it'd have to be added on Youtube's side though, and the ads here are just someone making thousands of individual ads for the mainstream stuff.
