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.

And fraudulent nutritional supplements.

And weird speech-synthesied rousing music: ‘Jim worked for a big electronics manufacturer, and had an idea. <Electronic item>s for the people. They they wouldn’t let him make it. They stole his idea and made a bad version. Now Jim is making <Electronic item>s himself that are twice as good and only a quarter the cost! Buy one to support Jim and stick it to the big evil corporation!”. How did that get to be a genre?

And “buy my video course to learn how to make thousands of dollars a day!” scams.

I find it frankly astounding how much obviously fraudulent advertising there is. Isn’t it illegal? Is there no authority that police’s it?

I get so so many of these speech-synthesized "Don't buy solar panels! You can get them for free!" scam ads.
