Doesn't Youtube do this, at least with shorts?

I'm tired of seeing ads on "how you can make 15$ watching one video and earning 20k in a month doing almost nothing" and I can't find a way to report it.

If you use android, Youtube Vanced is your answer. I haven't seen a single ad on youtube in years. It even skips the sponsorship segments if you want it to.

I say this as I'm using Revanced. I only see ads on the shorts, though.

Ah, I see what you mean now. I have all the shorts turned off on the app. I'm sure it's pretty annoying seeing all those. I'm sure there's some good content in that part but I always found it to be too ad-like as well.
