It is infuriating that Google seems to be doing nothing about scam ads. For years I have been seeing "Click to install iPhone update!!!" ads on YouTube mobile. Easy to have huge profit margins when your company hires no humans to do things like customer support and ad vetting.

There's been a series of malware distribution ads pretending to be blender.org popping up at the top of Google results on and off for months.

Pretty sad state of affairs that Google can't or won't stop this, especially since they gradually redesigned the ads spots to look practically identical to the search results. Be very careful clicking anything on Google's search results.
