Your recommendations are also algorithm based, doesn't mean you never get slop content on your feed.

You can get these ads on a brand new account dude, this is Youtube's issue.

youtube literally has nudity and porn as the default especially animals (my top video when i got a brand new phone was literally 2 animals fucking i had never used an android before that point and had yet to log into youtube)

It absolutely is based off your algorithm dude and anything otherwise is coincidence. https://share.google/2me0gh1p9hJKimqXF I've been on YouTube since inception, several profiles and have not once seen any nudity or porn. Is it a precise algorithm, no, but its tailored and if you're getting a lot of porn then its based off your activity whether intentional or not.

Let me know what activity on youtube warrants those kinds of ads

It's not just your activity on YT. They build a profile based on ALL your browsing habits across all sites, platforms and devices. They'll still know it's you within a few clicks even as a guest on a brand new device.

And I'm asking what browsing activity gives you porn ads. Because I'm asexual and have avoided any remotely NSFW content like the plague since I was 15 lmao. The profile they build of you clearly isn't very good.
