What the fuck are YouTube ads now?

I have not used the regular YouTube app in forever so I haven't seen an ad since, come a few hours ago I was using it to test something and see this shit:

What the fuck, have most ads on YouTube been like this as of late?

I loaded the app up on my phone just now and got an ad for the Last of Us TV show, some Bitcoin credit card, Puma shoes, Subaru cars, and a subscription box for "nutrition-packed meals" which looks like an adult Lunchable. Mostly normie shit. I guess YouTube thinks you're a lonely weeb.

They have a The Last of Us TV show? Jesus

I've been using adblock and pirating media since I was little so I wouldn't know.

I don't want to shame, but I think it has something to do with the content you consume.

I get ads on my phone, and aside for the big brands that everyone gets, I get financial advisors, MLMs, drop shipping, various softwares etc.... Which is very much in line with what I actually watch.

Don't get me wrong, some are awful, like some lady sitting on a bed telling you how she can help your taxes if you earn more than 2K a month for 3 whole fucking minutes with terrible audio. YouTube has always accepted anything when it comes to ads. It takes a lot not to be allowed to run it, they don't even check anything that they do not have to. As long as you're not stepping on anybody's trademark, you're good.

I've never seen this, or any other version of it. And I probably see at least 8 ads a day on my phone.
