It has been pointed out that fraudulent advertising videos are widespread on YouTube, and YouTube does not respond to deletions even though it is aware of their existence.
In an advertising video played on YouTube, Elon Musk, who was created using a deepfake, says, ``If you use a trading bot that utilizes AI, you can make $1 million in just 6 months without risk.'' It has been reported that fraudulent videos have been leaked that say, 'You can earn a lot of money.' Even if we appeal to YouTube to remove this fraudulent video, YouTube seems to be stubbornly unwilling to do so.

Reddit user Jakob_G reported the issue. He said that Elon Musk, who was created using deepfakes, was able to 'build an AI-powered trading bot and make $1 million in six months without risk.' that's right.
Examples of fraudulent advertisements played on YouTube are as follows.

Since Jakob_G is from Austria, he often sees fraudulent advertisements in German. The following two videos are examples of this. In the video below, a German celebrity on behalf of Elon Musk discovered a flaw in unlimited money and was sued by the central bank.

These fraudulent ads are so annoying that Jakob_G started reporting the content . Jakob_G explained that he manually reported the video because he understands that YouTube has millions of advertisers and that fraudulent ads are not immediately detected and removed. The day after Jakob_G reported the problem to YouTube, he received a reply from YouTube saying, ``We have decided not to remove this ad. This ad does not violate Google's policies .'' In addition, all four videos mentioned above by Jakob_G as examples of fraudulent advertising were refused to be deleted as they did not violate Google's policies.
Therefore, Jakob_G points out, ``One of the following two is correct.''
1: Elon Musk has really discovered a way to use AI to make everyone rich.
2: YouTube doesn't really care about people getting scammed as long as it makes money.
Jakob_G said, ``I hope the content of the fraudulent advertisements is true, but operating costs for YouTube advertisements are not cheap.One of the fraudulent advertisements I gave as an example has been posted as an advertisement for more than a month, and 364,000 It's been viewed more than once. The fact that scammers can afford to pay for these ads means people will continue to fall for these scams, and YouTube doesn't care about that at all. It also means.”
Jakob_G says that he does not want to use an ad blocker because he expects that content creators active on YouTube will be paid correctly, but on a platform where fraudulent ads like this are widespread, it is difficult to use an ad blocker. It points out that you will have no choice but to use it.
Jakob_G wrote, ``Is this a regional issue in Austria? Or have we seen this type of scam in other regions?'' 'I also saw a similar 'deepfake video of Elon Musk giving a keynote speech on a cryptocurrency platform.' I reported all videos of this kind to YouTube, but they said, 'There is no problem.' I'm getting only responses,' and 'Even if I block it, nothing happens. That's why I use an ad blocker.'
Also, ``It's a pretty good deep fake. Elon will likely sue for stealing his personality.'' ``This guy doesn't really have a positive public image to protect himself (lol) ” There were also many comments mocking Mr. Musk.
