Lately I've seen some... Questionable ads, to say the least. Is there no way to report these ads on sync?

If there is, am I just dumb and blind? Or is it easier than it seems?

It feels like early Reddit all over again to me, hopefully I'm wrong

For context, Android user, been here a few months, and I opt out of everything that's easy/simple/apparent to opt out of

Ah, I see on a 2nd read. Not removing ads all together, just reporting the "bad" ones so you don't see them.

I have similar issues with Youtube ads when my kids watch. I'm fine with ads for candy bars and Mr.Beast, I don't need Evony over here showing some tied up girl being handled by a big green orc in a provocative way.

Newpipe can help with that, no ads when watching videos.
