No way! Advertising agencies not checking the quality of their ads?!
Yeah, lol. Who could have seen that coming?
I guess Microsoft.
i had two users this week get those browser-hijacking "warnings" (the tech support/fbi type scams). one scrolling their facebook (probably clicked on a 'suggested' or 'recommended' link), the other reading 'articles' on msn.com. history of each showed direct link from site to scam page.
the ad networks... the sites themselves... nobody is vetting anything.
at least my users are getting better about calling me instead of the phone number on those screens.
These “ai says” articles are all fluff. You can get an LLM to say just about anything you want. This is akin to “my child says we should eat the neighbor.”
Before you judge them... have you seen the CPM on malware? Those are really nice margins
