I'm not sure I am in the right spot

[EndlessWire]

but I have the following issue, and I am seeking help with it.

All the ads everywhere that I am receiving are now in Spanish, all across the net.

I went into Google and discovered that it had changed my language to Spanish and my country to Puerto Rico. I didn't do that. So, I changed those back to English and the United States.

I watch a lot of You Tube, and everything is still in Spanish. I tried to see if I could change it in You Tube, but You Tube shows English. The videos I am watching are in English, but the commercials are in Spanish.

I have nothing against Spanish speakers, but it does arrest your ears if you are not a native speaker. Does anyone have any ideas on how to dump the Spanish ads? I have already rebooted to no avail.

Thank you for any ideas.

1. Can you delete your Youtube account and start over?

2. I have had this happen as well.

If you turn your phone or iPad off it will restart in English

3. Erase some cookies

this may result in some login cookies being lost if you do a large wipeout

Try another browser if you don’t need logins.

Ad blockers and anti-trackers such as
Ka Block
Ghostery
Ad Block Lite
work for me

4. If the videos were in English, I'd probably leave it.

I fucking hate all these stupid same commercials, and being in a language I don't understand might make them easier to ignore.

5. YouTube ads do not necessarily respect your language preferences.

The language of the ad is sometimes tied to the video you are watching regardless of the language of the video.

6. Thank you all!

You're all very sweet to help me out! I wish I could say I did something profound, but actually I did nothing else. I was thinking over the suggestion to just leave it alone, when late yesterday I started getting some ads in English again. Maybe it was a cycling problem. I dunno. (Alas, I can barely operate my phone.) Oh well!
Again, thank you all!
