I used to find endless Youtube ads for Grammarly infuriating.
But in comparison to the relentless, swarming legions of Hero Wars ads that pop up to smash me in the face, burn out my retinas and perform a full frontal lobotomy on my brain Grammarly is like a welcome, comforting friend who I want to put the mat out for and make some tea - whereas Hero Wars is a pustulant, reeking leper, covered with oozing lurid boils that requires the entire street to be fumigated after its passing.
I HATE these perverted, fetishistic, noxious, garish Hero Wars ads that are literally EVERYWHERE now. Not just on Youtube. Even going to Nexus to download a mod bombards me with the wretched things.
The ads advertise the game as some kind of puzzle-solving affair, but in reality the ads are 100% misleading, featuring none of the puzzles shown in the ads. Instead they're apparently some king of cheap, garbage hack and slash crap within which demand endless streams of real life cash to win - your typical pay-to-win mobile garbage, and like so many mobile games, the advertising is crassly misleading in the extreme.
But Hero Wars is the worst by a country mile.
Anyhow, sorry - just needed to rant!
Anyone else bothered by these damned thing?

That's fine for my own PC. I use that, plus a whole bunch of other stuff and there's no ads. However most of my day takes place at work, using the work laptop, which I'm locked out of installing any third party software or even browser addons on. So when I'm doing 'valuable online research' during work times (i.e. slacking off and watching Youtube) there's nothing to block this crap.

Youtube sans adblocker is a festering spawning ground for Hero Wars ads. And here I thought I was being singled out since that crap keeps popping up with a relentless persistence that made me wonder whether they were Youtube's only remaining ad revenue. How many people are dumping money into this garbage if they can afford this kind of ad bombardment...

Indeed. Hero Wars is Satan! The ads are the ninth level of hell!

It could be worse yet.
Around here, going on YouTube without an adblocker WILL inevitably result in a tsunami of Temu (cheap, rip off goods outlet - assuming they are what they claim to be and not a scam themselves), groan-worthy terrible ads... and straight up scams.
Yes. YouTube is actively supporting scamming people. I look forward to the day someone takes them to court and wins big on them.
