I am used to being protected from streams featuring sexual content and gambling. Sexual content is blurred in search results or recommended streams, and even if I enter a stream with a raid, I have to explicitly consent to viewing the stream based on the content labels.
And now I can be watching a very family-friendly stream, and suddenly Sydney Sweeney's bikini-bottom-clad buttocks are in my face as part of a sports gambling ad. If a female streamer did the kinds of things featured in that ad, she would be suspended for violations of the Community Guidelines (even if she used content labels!), and yet the safety features that used to protect viewers from content they may be sensitive to now simply don't work due to ads.
