yes the ads are problematic, but at the same time, why are you not using an adblock, literally 2023 and adblocks have been around for like 20 years

i've seen similar ads on twitter mobile (where they force ads onto the default app), people there are way more outspoken but nothing gets done either.

I like how every time this thread comes up CE dismisses the OP concerns and says just use adblock. That never answers why porn or suggestive ads are coming up in the first place lol.

yes I have been getting a similar one, but it has the harlequin fetus instead. Same caption and everything too.

I never mentioned it because I knew 1/3 of the answers would be lol ad block and another 1/3 would be lol what are you looking up so you get those ads? And a few other replies would be report it and shut up, its your fault for not reporting.

nobody gives a fuck, sadly. We could end getting gore ads and micro snuff clips in the ads and nobody would care.

Ad blockers and pop up blockers are a problem. The last month I started getting IP blocked using ad blockers. Even the built in one for firefox was causing issues. So they might be trying to crack down on them or something.
