Funny, I too reported it a long time ago, with the predictable response that it’s not breaking any of Google’s rules.

It also tells me how primitive Google Ads are, when they keep showing me an ad I reported.

I also reported it - twice - and was fobbed off.

The frustrating thing is, this is very easy for AI to detect. Just feed the image into any AI and it will tell you it is deceptive.

When you are being paid to not care it becomes very hard to care.

Why wouldn't they? They still get paid for it, and if you could block an ad by reporting it, you'd just report every ad until there were no ads.

There is too many ads to report all of them. But a don't show me this, that also affected on report as a negative signal to reduce the possibility of that specific ad to you.

Unlikely. The effectiveness an ad has on you is related to the amount you think about that ad - and nothing else. It doesn't matter whether they are positive or negative thoughts.

Yikes, that is especially egregious. As the comment to that post mentions, you see it on adult sites (so I've heard) but that's also the kind of ad you'd see on an old forum where the moderators have lost all respect for their users and are trying to cash out.

I’ve seen and reported that exact ad, and variations thereof, multiple times. Each time my report has been rejected on the basis the ad didn’t violate ToS for advertisers. Google absolutely sucks nowadays.

That’s funny. I reported that same ad last week to Google and got an email this morning saying that they were not violating any terms.
