Scams, deception and misrepresentation are absolutely everywhere. Who can see what’s going on here in the legitimate YouTube app?

@troyhunt ad pretending to be a smart phone problem, most likely linking to some kind of app. Unclear to me why it is disguised over some kind of food menu, but here we are…

Also doesn’t appear to be able to report the ad somehow

@olikami @troyhunt the food menu is an app install link. So when you think you are cleaning up your phone an app is installed.

Time for legislators to make ad publishers responsible for the ads they are publishing.

@olikami @troyhunt I think the food menu is meant to make you think that there's a video below it and the notification is obscuring the video
