Yep! I've seen a couple, and reported them, but they could easily trap a less aware/critical person into clicking the link and being scammed/whatever.
-
I think I've reported 4 different versions of these ads. They look pretty near identical for the little bit I watch before I report, but the advertiser is always different, but also based in Poland.

I’ve reported it as well, but still continue to see it.
The first time I saw it it was incredibly obvious, but lately it seems to have smoothened out. Not sure if that’s my internet connection or if YouTube is processing it differently on their end. If you don’t pay close attention, I wouldn’t be surprised if people were to be fooled by it.

On a side note, Kyle from Secular Talk is based and tells like it is. Primarily grass roots funded and has been pushing candid leftist talking points for a long time. I always recommend him for coverage of US politics when I get a chance.
-
He’s great and I’ve found myself watching his videos often
-
Used to watch every video of his, but I watch him more sporadically now since his awkward tweet where he said it was alright to deadname Caitlyn Jenner because of her politics.
Him leaving the tweet up doesn't bother me considering that he's stated he leaves all of them up for transparency even if he no longer agrees with them, but what does annoy me is how he's never gone back to correct himself. I know he's not an outright transphobe, but that still doesn't sit right with me.
-
If someone who is trans goes out of their way to not support their own community because they are rich enough to avoid the negative effects of the current US position on trans rights then they should be treated with absolutely no respect.
Like an Uncle Tom selling out their own people, or Lindsay Graham existing.
-
He repeatedly advocates and speaks up for marginalized groups, particularly migrants and LGBTQ people every chance he gets, specially because Trump regime is actively hostile towards them. The tweet is poor taste, short sided and I wish he had gone back and reflected on his response, but he is definitely not a transphobe, and is most definitely an ally.
Not the same, and doesn't justify the tweet, but the sentiment reminds me when Jennifer Welch said that Republicans should be banned from eating from Mexican restaurants because, well, they're fucking racist:

Where are people seeing these deep fakes of Carney? Is it only on youtube? I was paying for YouTube premium prior to January but stopped with the boycott US movement and moved to the app Unwatched, highly recommend it has all the personal benefits of youtube premium without the personal costs!
-
All over YouTube on Android for the last couple of weeks at least. I report them as scams but they keep coming.
That said, Newpipe deals with it.
-
Went searching for Unwatched and it seems it's only for Apple. Call me sad for that. :(
-
Oh did not know that, I am sure there are other apps.
Edit Pihole doesn’t block YouTube ads in the browsers, I am unsure about ad guard, or Ublock origin. The browser I switched to as I am trying to move away from Apple things does though, it is Vivaldi it is some EU browser. Sure they have some office space in the US but I am sure that is just marketing. Just make sure Youtube is not installed on your phone or tablet.

One of my relatives fell for this scam, unfortunately.
-
You would think "reputable" corporations wouldn't want their brands to be associated with scammers and conmen and fakes and would pull their adverts from a website that platforms them.
-
Okay but why aren't you using an adblocker?
-
Because I'm just using plain old YouTube app on my pixel phone.

When I reported it this is who it says is paying for the ads.
Same I have reported a few of them already, YouTube is very slow to do anything about stuff like this.
I was seeing ads for months claiming Elon was giving his fortune to Canada and Trudeau was handing it out to people who signed up on a 'totally legit' website. Kept reporting them, but they kept showing up. YouTube doesn't care about the ads they serve, about who gets scammed by stuff life this, as long as the cheque clears from the advertiser they're happy to intentionally live in ignorance until they can't ignore the reports.
They care equal to the amount of consequences they face
Thing is that they also just keep making new accounts too.
Youtube/Google is an advertising company, they only care if they're getting paid.
