I don't gamble ... I don't like gambling ... I hate gambling ... but whenever I go on Youtube on my TV device where I can't turn off ads, half the ads are online gambling casinos

I don't mind some ads but gambling and alcohol are two of the ones I absolutely hate and they seem to take up about a third or half the ads I see.

When watching sports on tv, half the ads are for sports betting. It's disgusting.

I don’t even watch sports and I get buried in gambling ads.

Only started after moving to a somewhat struggling blue collar town, but it was immediate, and the pure volume of it was shocking. Really hit me wrong.

Adblock and VPN everywhere possible now. Degoogling, containerized browsing, hardened settings, like damn basic privacy shouldn’t have to be so much work.
