Google ads are rampant on the site

Just today, I noticed the bombardment of Google ads on the A'gon site. These obnoxious ads previously only appeared on the mobile app but now they are a P.I.T.A. here on the desktop app. Any ideas how to thwart/eliminate these nuisance time wasting ads?

Never see any ads as I use Ghostery ad blocker.

I think the key to your post is "just today, I noticed..."  they are not new.

Adblock Plus etc. browser extension will block ads on websites including YouTube. Without an ad blocker, browsing would be intolerable.

Some form of adblocking is essential these days.

We know sites make money by advertising and people clicking on links but these practices have now totally gotten out of hand on certain sites.

Since neither Google, Microsoft or Apple will do anything to stop this, and don’t expect them to, you will have to take matters into your own hands.

Firefox on my phone with an add on adblocker (uBlock Origin) works really well.

Same on desktop.
