Just out of curiosity, what makes seeing a gambling ad untenable for you?

I find it unethical to advertise “products” that are either highly addictive or cause harm to an audience.

Gambling, smoking, alcohol, etc. These are all common in regular YouTube ads, and to have them play during a family-friendly event/sport isn’t something I want to support or view myself.

Ads are damaging, and ads promoting these products go beyond that. This has been widely studied showing detrimental effects, even on young people and children.

I’d rather not pollute my own mind, or the minds of my family, to sit through a game promoting these things.
