Is it really appropriate for this site to be displaying ads like this one?
I understand that advertising income is needed, but shouldn’t the content here be appropriate for young people, and appropriate in general?
This is not the only problematic ad I’ve seen, nor the worst, but I managed to grab a screenshot this time.

I reported this as well.
@CC_Sorin - apparently the ad is still there.
@momofboiler1 , I reported it to the ads team but have followed up just now. Thanks for flagging, @aquapt !

Just spotted this ad again on another thread.
Are you able to take a screenshot? Got confirmation earlier today that it was blocked.
Sorry, I couldn’t find it again but it was there a minute before I posted the message above. I’ll circle back if I see it again.
Meaning you saw it again now?
No, I mean when I posted my previous message last night.
Edit: I realized I haven’t seen any ads today. Is that just me or was there a site-wide change?

No site-wide change. I do see ads. Are you using a blocker?
No. Maybe I just haven’t noticed any.
I just saw an ad about Chelsea Clinton that was inappropriate. I turned my iPad to take a screen shot and the ad disappeared. It was about Chelsea and her new wife.
@CC_Sorin - The ad is still showing up for me too. Ironically on this thread:

That’s smart ad placement! Surely, you are reading this thread because you want to see inappropriate ads?

I haven’t seen any inappropriate ads here for years. Hopefully I don’t suddenly get them.

I saw one earlier today advertising escorts but it was gone very quickly.
I suppose you mean a spam post?
(Not embedded ads, which is what we’re discussing here).

Ah, got it. Yes I confused the two.
