I think this is the only solution. Until then, google et al make tons of money off these scams.

I expect a decent percentage is total BS and too big to get rid of without messing with their quarterly numbers.

Of course, it would be pretty simple for google to prevent through a sort of advertiser FICO score. But they don’t, because it would make then less money.

Spammers can create a new identity relatively cheaply, resetting their trustworthiness score. Google surely already buckets advertiser based on trustworthiness internally.

		It doesn't matter. As long as Google is not held accountable for showing you a scam ad that makes you lose $10k, Google doesn't care about the trustworthiness of the spammer. They just care whether the check clears.

		This is literally what bonding and insurance is for.

And the people that make AI scam content pay for AI tokens that AI scam consumers love so it's a win-win Jevons virtuous circle.
