YouTube on my Samsung S10e is showing kids ads and thinks ads Personalization is off

[KitKat Gaming2008]

Hey guys. Today the ads personalization was enabled, the night Google says Ads Personalization is disabled. All of sudden getting kids game ads. I am an adult and do not have kids. Should Google fix problem? Issue occurred on my S10e by Samsung.

If personalized ads are disabled, then you'll get random stuff that doesn't really apply to you, so that could be a reason why you're getting ads like this.

Also, do you have any kids who have been using your YouTube account to watch videos? Check your viewing history to see if there's anything there that might have prompted YouTube to start showing you those kinds of ads.

No, I do not have kids. Ads personalization is enabled but kept getting ads not related to me. WILL GOOGLE FIX PROBLEM?

Nothing in your recent viewing history that might be kid-friendly?

I have no idea what Google can do, since we don't have a direct line of communication with them.

Also, to clarify -- are these ads interspersed with your normal YouTube feed, or are they fullscreen ads?

THIS AD IS TRYING TO DRIVE ME NUTS. It shows if I know PinkFong rhymes. Google, stop showing me those annoying ads and fix the bug. The ad happened on my favourite music

You didn't answer my question -- are they interspersed in your normal YouTube feed, or are they fullscreen ads? They look like they're interspersed, and it looks like they're probably related to gaming videos -- have you been watching gaming videos recently?

Try signing out your account, clear data and force stop then sign in , do they still appear?

Another suggestion would be to subscribe to YouTube Premium in order to get rid of ads completely. Otherwise, ads will be a fact of life if you want YouTube for free.
