1 year agoI 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…
At least where I live in Europe you (used to?) get subsidies for buying hybrid cars or EVs. So people would buy them for the discount and then never actually charge them 🤷🏼♀️
