.@AdSense @TeamYouTube still doing a terrible job of being able to report ads that are clearly misleading, scams or lead to malware downloads...
Why is it so hard to have a simple ! button then report options, one of which reads 'Scam / Misleading'?

For the types that overlay on your video, there's zero report option. The i button only tells you about personalized ads and how they work Right clicking doesn't grant a URL either, it's all video player related optionspic.twitter.com/IcMosGHk7O

When it comes to ads on the side of videos, there's zero url options available (even on chrome, their own browser!) The closest you can get to reporting it is pressing the X and selecting 'Ad Was Inappropriate' which seems incredibly broad..pic.twitter.com/FJ6GDtnJzt

it's still on you as the user to go ahead and track down the proper report page online... What the hell? I hate the idea that my audience are seeing an ad for 'Free Minecraft' (which I saw today) and other such things then installing malware or adware to their systems
