minus-squareJeffKerman1999@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoMan they caught Google evil actors using Google’s infra that pumped up view numbers for video impressions and milking advertisers. They got swindled millions by the 3ve “scandal”. There’s botfarms clicking ads and following brands. There’s warehouses full of smartphones that fake download and fake use apps and fake watch video ads… At this point it’s a money laundering scheme. I refuse to believe that those people responsible are that stupid.
