Step 4 − You will be taken into the Google AdSense Home page. From the left side menu, click on the Blocking Controls (as shown below).

Step 5 − When you click on the Blocking controls, a drop-down menu appears. From the drop-down menu, click on the YouTube Host.

Step 6 − You will be shown with the three boxes – Advertiser URLs, Sensitive categories and General categories and click on the Sensitive categories. (as shown below).

Conclusion

Always strike a balance when banning or permitting specific adverts as you explore your AdSense account. Limiting marketers when you don't like what they're supporting makes perfect sense, of course. However, you also don't want to under-monetize your movies in order to repel one advertiser. Just keep in mind to handle your decisions carefully!
