I normally use yt-dlp to download youtube videos, but sometimes I'd go and visit homepage to see if there's anything interesting.

Then I kept seeing this guy showing up. I don't think he placed all the ads, because one of the entities that placed the ad seem to be based on India. Anyway, there are many variations to this ad (mostly in term of the money they earned), but the video content is always the same.

I reported the ads many times, Google can't decide whether it's a con, because they told me they can't find anything wrong with one of them, and then told me they have actioned on the other one.

Anyway, just out of morbid curiosity, anyone knows who that guy is?

MEV is another crypto thing btw.

    I think Google support team might have started to see the pattern, getting feedback that they are starting to take action against them.
