💨 Abstract

YouTube users and experts have reported encountering deceptive and inappropriate ads on the platform. These ads range from non-existent government programs and dubious products to explicit content and scams. Users like Billy Ray and Bruce Simpson have flagged numerous ads, but many remain active for extended periods. Arin Hjorulfr from Sweden encountered fake government ads leading to spam websites. YouTube's automated systems and human reviewers aim to remove violating ads, but issues persist.
