Youtube is running advertisements that are blatant scams. I’ve ran into another one watching various youtube videos, and all essentially depict Michael Saylor going on about a new product or service being offered for Bitcoin. It uses a video of him in his chair and AI technology to depict his voice. They’re about a minute long and essentially all the same. It’s the age old “send x amount of bitcoin and receive double the amount back.
I thought seeing one was weird, but now I’ve seen a couple and thought I’d say something to bring awareness about this. I took a screenshot of what the advertisement looks like.

How does this even happen on youtube? Do they not do quality control of the advertisements that they put on their platform? The scam couldn’t be anymore in your face, and I get you have to be pretty gullible to fall for it, but this is ridiculous.
I just wanted to bring some attention to it, and apologize if it’s been mentioned before.
