Anybody else seeing these scam adds from a fake mrbeast account?
 

No subs, no posts, created 2 weeks ago, add has been up for 2 weeks with 600k views but no comments. Even links to a scetchy site. How has youtube not taken this down yet?

I, for one, am shocked that the likeness of a person who built their following almost entirely by giving away money is now being used for scams that promise to give away money. 

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

Lol, you aren't wrong. 

Doesn't make the add ok though, I'm sure that people are getting either ripped off or mining software downloaded on their systems.

ah yes, this is ads I hate on youtube... that youtube encourage this and more so by the ads look similar to a regular youtube video... which means people can accidently click on them. Also let's not talk about malware too 😛

 

sometimes nearly clicked on those ads on my phone when scrolling etc... its a pain.
