What really annoys me is the endless stream of scam, "earn money fast with 1 simple trick" ads
It's literally a scam every single time and trying to report those fall into deaf ears (or blind algorithms) because hey, they're paying to be shown, why should any high ranking executive care? "Oh, I can't be held responsible, sorry!"
