Not just dodgy some are straight up illegal.

They'll act if someone threatens to sue otherwise Google doesn't give a shit as long as they get paid.

google once served me an ad for what I'm pretty sure was CP, and i never reported it to anyone out of fear that just by being served a link to that kind of horrible shit I was somehow going to get in trouble over it. Sounds ridiculous, but as a nobody, pissing off a giga-corporation in an era owned by them probably was the better choice for my financial and overall well-being, even if it felt cowardly. Besides, epstein's guests roam free, unimpeded, and continue with impunity, what positive outcome could I have possibly hoped for?

its so terrible because most of those ads pray on seniors, I swear i see the Tai Chi ad every single day and reported it so many times.

This type of shit is why I refuse to give up my pi-hole, uBlock, and Firefox.

kidnapping ads, scrolling dark patterns, nsfw context ads, fake medicines... i would prefer paywall instead.

a rhetorical question...

:)

Ah, yes. The standard pipeline scammy ad/post -> report -> This Does Not Violate Our ...

Bonus points if you can get banned for any reason, by contrast, on sites like Facebook

Fuck all of you. Shut them all down, jail time for execs

"Don't be evil."

Because money?

Ask me another.

Has anyone ever actually even purchased anything just because of an ad?

In fact, these days ads have the opposite effect: A repetitive ad turns people off from EVER checking out that product.

F Grammarly and ClickUp etc. I've never tried those products but I have disgust for them thanks to their ads.
