Is it possible to block only specific ads?
I can block almost all ads by setting up Private DNS, but that wouldn't count towards my point activities. For example: 'I don't mind short 5-second ads, but Uber Eats or Freecash ads are too long.' 'I absolutely don't want to see ads related to male genitalia (like Atom something).' Is there a function or app that allows blocking specific advertisers or keywords, similar to how you block spam emails?

Long or uninteresting ads are annoying, right? If you're seeing a lot of ads related to men, changing or deleting your advertising ID in Android settings might reduce them, but I haven't seen any settings that let you block specific ads while still getting rewards...

Try searching 'My Ad Center' on Google. However, I'm not quite sure if it's effective for in-app ads based on my experience. If there's an information mark within the ad video, pressing it and continuing to reject it daily seems to make it stop appearing. I also feel like those nasty ads that others might have complained about tend to disappear on their own over time.

I understand how you feel, but I think it's realistically impossible. There's no way the sender would provide information conveniently beforehand, so you'd need to download and analyze the content somewhere. Plus, gathering the considerable amount of CMs, which are likely updated frequently, isn't easy either. Even if you could, the CM side would likely take countermeasures, leading to a cat-and-mouse game. Ultimately, even if theoretically possible, considering the cost, effort, and potential profit, it's realistically unachievable. Realistically, you're left with two options: stop or endure the point-earning activities that require watching CMs. For free apps, if possible, either pay to remove ads or endure them.

Resetting your Ad ID has its pros and cons. Once you reset your experience, meaning you go back to level 1, the experience from ads you've rejected also disappears. It's natural for ads to appear because the broadcaster wants them to, and viewers have the right to reject them. However, if you reset too frequently, you'll have to go through the hassle of setting everything up again from scratch. When you finish an ad through legitimate means, it's likely that both the broadcaster and the provider benefit. On the other hand, if you close the app without skipping the ad, it's registered as if the ad wasn't shown, and the ads you were watching tend to decrease. Please note that this is based on my personal experience and is still a shaky hypothesis, but I've found that when I applied this to ads for male genitalia, their appearance significantly decreased, so I believe it has some effect. There's a possibility that the system identifies them as ads you don't want to see, but the truth remains a mystery.

The setup method from this post is available! However, it won't stop all ads! Most Effective Way to Deal with In-App Ads Since each app uses different ad companies, the following combination is most effective for reducing annoying ads across your device. Set your sensitivity in 'My Ad Center'. If you see an annoying ad in an app using a different ad company, individually 'stop seeing' it on the spot via the 'i' icon. When an ad is displayed, tapping the 'i' icon in one of the four corners of the screen to hide/block it will register it on 'your block list for that ad company,' even for ad delivery systems other than Google, providing a direct deterrent. Gemini will tell you the detailed setup method!

I intentionally downloaded it once, gave it a 1-star rating, and immediately deleted the app. At first, ads popped up a lot, but then they stopped appearing entirely (though they did start showing up again after a while). Maybe the app thinks, 'Downloaded app = app they're trying to play right now,' and actively pushes ads.

AuthorSo you actively downvote instead of ignoring. I see.
