I report a lot of those on YouTube - however, as you can't add a comment to sat why the video is a scam (etc) they do nothing cos it "looks" legitimate... There is one video thumbnail for a "how they died - then and now" type video showing well known actor on side and a person in a hospital bed that isn't even the same ethnicity.

He could respond with the quote from Mark Twain - “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”
I don't think YouTube gives a proverbial monkey's tbh. Provided they get enough viewers to view their ads they're happy and seem unconcerned.
The AI videos on there now drive me mad, people trying to cash in whilst putting in zero effort at the same time
Though ad blocker stopped working for YT on chrome, it is still working on edge, which is odd as edge is based on chromeI don't think YouTube gives a proverbial monkey's tbh. Provided they get enough viewers to view their ads they're happy and seem unconcerned.

My ad blocker only works on Firefox not on Chrome anymore too. I also use the Brave browser which is pretty good as it has a YT ad blocker built in which works a treat when watching on my iPad. I hasten to add, the only exception is @theatrically_inclined brilliant content where I watch every ad from start to finish as we look after our own

Well I’ve viewed many of them several times so you enjoy those sherbet saucers on me!
There`s lots of those, especially showing fake pics of how someone is now on the thumbnail.
I agree and the sad thing is, it is making these fakeries money

Have seen a few thumbnail images of those about other actors. A kind of 'Where are they now..?' type thing showing the actor in rough state of a hospital bed or something. Very tasteless fakery and disgusting attempt to get clicks. Not clicked on the link so as not to give them any more than they deserve.
