The times I turned off personalized ads, were the times google ads went really wild. This was both for regular website ads as well as youtube ads. So many cosmetic product ads…
I had to turn it back on again because they were at least partly interesting compared to “SiCk oF aCnE?! sIcK of pImPleS??!”
Yeah, I have turned off personalized ads and I mostly get these inappropriate dating ads. I guess it’s their way of annoying me into enabling personalization.
Do you get the super creepy ‘easten European girls are popular because of their traditional values…’ and the I’ve that’s ‘Chinese women want to come and study in but need loving middle aged men to have sex with them while they’re here…’ I’m paraphraseing of course but that’s basically what they say.
Makes me laugh when everything is sanitized because advertiser’s don’t want to appear next to anything untoward then the adverts are for human traffickers.
Though honestly the ‘student was expelled for inventing a more efficient heater’ advert is possibly worse, of course he was expelled he broke the laws of physics, he should have been arrested! Why is such an obvious scam allowed but a friendly Australian can’t call his cobba a cunt?
If OP has personalized ads even enabled.

I do rarely use Gmail on my phone, but those probably showed up in some form of another at some point, lol
