Not to distract from Meta but I’m surprised Google doesn’t also get heat for this. A number of phishing sites win >30% of the auction on my company’s brand keywords and I see it on many others as well, especially in CPG and e-commerce. I’ve yet to have any luck getting Google to ban the advertisers.

I think 80% of my Youtube ads are either outright scams or AI generated ads for questionable "as seen on TV" style products.

I remember getting "lend us your google account" ad ON YOUTUBE of all places
