Theyre also blatant scams. Whenever I accidentally open youtube on my phone when clicking a link the ad is literally claims of free money using ai voices of celebrities, “cures” for blindness that are selling watered down bleach, and other scams

Yeah any time I scroll through YT Shorts (Revanced doesn't block those ads rn) 99+% of the ads are just the "This new government program gives everyone $6400/month trust this bad AI voice of Steve Harvey." scams.
