MODERATORS
Not necessarily true. They are mostly advertised as "music videos" or something like this. If YouTube would know it's porn or even CP, they wouldn't serve the ads and block the account.
There are other factors that also play a role like location or age.
Yeah they probably serve it to certain demographics like "men between 25 and 45" or something.
I've never gotten ads even close to what they describe but probably because I'm a woman and fall on the elder end of gen z. So I get God awful temu and tiktok ads and then what I assume is just served to the general populace like whatever latest child mower they're calling a consumer truck these days.
