Y2Mate displays several kinds of ads. They are:
- Pop-up Ads - These are disturbing windows that show up all of a sudden without being clicked.
- Redirect Ads - Links to other sites sometimes unsafe ones by taking users from the current site.
- Fake Download Buttons - Contrary to what they may seem, fake button presses could install unwanted software.
- Adult or inappropriate Ads - Some ads may show some explicitness in content.
Because of these risks, many users prefer such Y2 alternatives that do not have an ad or have far better security. Always exercise caution while clicking on ads to avoid possible malwares or phishing attempts.
