Saw this ad on Youtube and for some reason felt the need to click the image to get the full context. But the full image didn't appear anywhere on the business's website. Now I am frightened and confused.

Yeah, stuff being advertised with unrelated AI-generated pseudo-porn images is apparently a thing now. Seems like it started in just the last few days or a week.

I suppose they successfully got a click through!

I dunno. It's still too - abstract. They should refine it a bit more. Make it real actionable, in a legal sense... could it look more like someone specific? And litigious?

And now you're in good company, because I'm pretty sure we are now all confused as well. And definitely frightened.

I'm frightened, confused, and a little aroused. But this is par for the course for me.

I collect these on my Bluesky feed. There's basically one ad company that uses quasi-pornographic images to gain clicks. And apparently #YouTube has zero problem with displaying pornography so long as they get paid first. The explanation is simple => #AnythingForMoney

YT'er 'The Click' did a video about this. Said that if he were to read or show the ads on his channel, he'd get demonetised or worse, but the actual ads are run no prob. People have flagged really shocking ones, and YT says "no violation". Bunch of Google Ba$tard$

Now keep in mind that they're going to claim there is no anti-pornography robot in existence that could handle such images because they're designed to be both provocative yet plausibly deniable. But they're also NOT going to hire a human because, "What would the shareholders say?".

I don't recognize the euphemism, but that image is very clear 😂 YouTube ads are becoming more and more unhinged and unintelligible. I keep getting Russian language ads and very obvious robot dog scams

Clearly after extensive A/B testing, this is the image that led to the most clickthroughs.
