There are scam ads on YouTube as wel, with ai deepfakes of our country’s prime minister telling people to go to a site, which is where you get scammed. I don’t understand why nobody is held responsible for these ads and why they don’t seem to go away
I saw a youtube ad for a “revolutionary new air cooling device, designed by a NASA engineer, that was 98% more efficient than any other a/c on the market” and it was a known scam for a cheap evaporative cooler you could buy on Alibaba for < $10, that has been running for years.
This is why I use an ad blocker. Now imagine the brazen criminal extent of propaganda being shown to idiots who consume the Internet unfiltered. We live in a black mirror episode where criminals and sociopaths run society.
