Gonna start cataloging any potentially malicious ads i see on YouTube to prove they have no vetting system. I& #39;m missing a vbuck scam i saw a few days ago, but here& #39;s two "free money" scams and a.. "Dating" app

Fortnite vbuck scam

Hey look, it& #39;s the same scam from earlier, but on a different account! Meaning that these people are HIJACKING accounts!

I fuckin can& #39;t

Genuinely wtf is this ad

Oh my GOD
So this ad technically already appeared, it just had a different thumbnail
But this time it& #39;s even MORE scummy
What the ACTUAL FUCK
YouTube needs to ad in "this is a scam" option when it comes to reporting CAUSE THIS IS WAY MORE MALICIOUS THAN BEING MISLEADING

Like I& #39;ve demonstrated how these ads are ALREADY HIJACKING YOUTUBE ACCOUNTS TO SPAM THEMSELVES
But this one went one step further and set their pfp to Epic& #39;s pfp to try and scam more kids

Please please please, if there& #39;s one thing this thread has displayed it& #39;s that YouTube needs to not only vet their ads, but add in an option to report them as scams rather than "misleading," because they are SO much more fucking malicious than just being "misleading"
