I know they allow scam adverts because it’s easy money, but why aren’t they held responsible for facilitating obvious scams? You open Edge, there’s 3 “Earn money quick” adverts. On Instagram, every 5 ads, one is a scam.

    I reported a scam ad to YouTube (it said it was a 1000 dollar giveaway to the first I don’t know how many people that signed up). When I googled it the top results were all about how it was a scam. Got feedback a few days later: we don’t see a problem, the ad is staying up. So they are even knowingly making the choice to show these scams to their users…
