You are generous.

However I don't want any content which could be distracting or plain unsafe for mental wellbeing. One example are the ads for violent games on BlueStacks when I was using the emulator for Android education software for my children.

No thank you. Any content I can't control will be kicked.

Either by using adblockers or by just not using the service.

Advertising is mental pollution.

I dated a woman who experienced trauma in the past and she would routinely get horror movie trailers in YouTube. Even I found them disturbing. Neither of us had any interest in getting intrusive thoughts from watching assault and body horror. Putting in uBlock Origin did wonders for her well being.
