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.

    Unfortunately that would disproportionately impact small local businesses far more than large corporations.

        Because you know who General Electric is and it’s easy to verify they’re actually advertising with you and that they’re a legitimate company, Jim-Bob’s Auto Repair, not so much.

            Woudl you like to buy Doctor Binsemanns Bevertail extract? It cures cancer, aids, std’s, headaches, stupid and much much more! Its even cheaper than insulin! Only $59.99 per 50ml

            You mean like that? Been there, seen that, I know why I pay for kagi and YT Premium and have adblockers everywhere else.

        Spending more money on more staff for checking the validity of advertisements can affect small businesses more because they have less money.

          You got turned around somewhere, we’re talking about small businesses advertising through major platforms like google. Theres no “small business” online advertising platforms
