For me, it is the Tachi workout style ad. I said "style" because it started out to sell Tachi workout, then gradually moved on to sell you Speech training exercises.

Format is the same:

I'm {insert age above 50}, I dont follow experts instead i use the {insert their products} for {insert number less than 10} minutes per day.

There were some ads that I have seen on YouTube that I found unsettling before I started using Morphe. They were basically taking some celebrities from where I live and using AI to put them in embarrassing situation that never happened with headline like: "You will never guess who was found naked at X place." I also hate the ones that use a celebrity and use AI to try to make them endorse a course or some other garbage.

Seriously, if I was one of the person in those ads, I would sue Google. I feel those ads being allowed on YouTube might give them some legitimacy for people that are not good at recognizing AI generated content.

As an example, here is one of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney pushing for some bitcoin: https://youtu.be/uAhlKVTDtiw

Oh yeah, I'm never going back to the official YouTube app ever again, especially since they let those garbage ads go through.

One thing I really like is the sponsor block, not having to manually skip the sponsor segment make the viewing experience better.
