Google owns one of them, so there's that distinction...

Have you ever seen the little "x" in the corner of google display ads? If you click it, you're asked for the reason you're objecting to the ad. Among them "ad covers content".

Meaning: you shouldn't always assume the worst, especially if there's evidence against it.

The YouTube ads cover the content by design. Google owns YouTube. Google isn't going to take action on their own site.

This option is available only on website. The app doesn't support it. Yet.
