I tried that, but there's a million more to take their place. A couple days ago there was an ad for a game that was a completely naked woman with her legs spread open as the picture. I reported it and Facebook said they've reviewed it and determined it doesn't violate their community standards, even though exposed nipples are explicitly stated in their standards as a violation. There was an option to request further review and I tried to do that, and of course the submit button was disabled and broken because a trillion dollar company cant even be bothered to build a functional website. I'm fucking done with that site. If I can't even look for content my actual friends posted without being assaulted with pornography, then I'm done. I wish they'd crash and burn like the dumpster fire they are.
The point isn't so much to actually block all the garbage, that's impossible, but to suggest to the Facebook algo to show you less such stuff.
I've also seen people getting semi-pornographic adverts on Youtube, so your experience sounds entirely expected. Putting everything else aside, it's "funny" how any other smaller independent website or a user on these major websites can and will be sanctioned (the user getting banned, the small website gaining a negative reputation) for hosting/posting pornography, but when a major website shoves pornography right into your face (and probably minors' too, which is unambiguously illegal) nothing can be done, there is never any sort of uproar or criticism, I doubt you could even report it to some authority...
