The rise in generative AI technology has made scamming people online much easier, with fake versions of Tom Hanks, Mr. Beast, and other celebrities often appearing in online ads. YouTube still has a problem with fraudulent advertisements, as I've learned from my own YouTube feed over the past few months.

    Unless the user actually is their customer, then they don’t show them ads. ;)

      Shoot, I didn’t even consider Google purposefully allowing scam and malicious advertisements as a means to sell YT premium
