   What the fuck is wrong with YouTube’s ads?

   Today I got an ad where a deepfake of President Biden with a “Breaking News” banner from Fox News told me I needed to click the link below to claim my $6400 government stimulus check.

   …which was run by an unverified advertiser in Colombia, according to the info that showed when I went to report it.

   This shit is why people use adblockers, Google.

     @lain I got one for some prescription drug where there was six copies of a guy dancing inside of a kaleidoscope effect, then his desk chair turned into a rocket and took off into outer space? No idea what it was because the audio wasn’t talking about the drug, it just had things like “Ask your doctor” and the name of it flash on the screen at a couple points.

     That one was a nice mix of funny without being so scammy.
