Not shocking at all, it's like a typical "welcome to Internet" thing that somebody outside of "computer people culture" gets.
Internet is the future of ads, Internet is also the end of ads.
Ads are made and used by rich, well fed people, and in their majority targeted at people on other side of social ladder.
The TV was perfect for that, it was one sided.
Now, the "reflux" that comes back from the Internet culture is hurting them. When some random nobody can pour dirt and bile on videos of pierre cardin toating, avocado munching "successful people" it destroys that image.
Google really should do it that way: you either agree to have your ads run on every type of scatalogic content, and your image covered by a metre of dirt, or you don't advertise at all.
