I accidentally saw a youtube ad today. It was a fake product with ai video and voice over. Complete scam. It was several minutes unskippable so i assume that's expensive. They must be hoping to scam a lot of people. I had no idea it had gotten so bad.
The majority of the YouTube ads I get are for dick pills. I'm a 50 year old woman who watches critical role, videos on curly hair and chunky blanket knitting. Their algorithm sucks.
In the last couple weeks it’s constant Mormon ads lol, the church put a cute girl on YouTube hawking their fairy tale book and are blitzing the male demo
