  • YouTube has responded after a Redditor encountered more NSFW ads on the platform.
  • The company said it had removed these ads and taken action against the offending account.
  • The service noted that it had blocked or removed almost 95 million ads featuring adult content last year.

YouTube is no stranger to NSFW ads, and a Redditor recently reported encountering porn ads on the streaming service. Now, YouTube has responded following these latest ads.

Redditor Academic_Yak2513 spotted two NSFW advertisements for a video game, featuring cropped porn. These ads also come after we spotted pornographic ads on YouTube back in December 2023.
