> how many weight loss, breast enlargement or penis enlargement Ads have you seen in the past 20 years

Pretty much none, reputable sites don’t carry them, and spam stopped being a problem a decade ago.

NYT still ships these oddballs with their newsletters. I saw one where you drink just one cup of some weird substance before bed and you'd loose weight. The image had a coke being poured into some red powder.

Take off your adblocker one day, and see how the ridiculous state of internet advertising hasn't changed at all.
