 LOL a platform literally filled with MLM scams, investment scams, health scams and nostr content gets flagged as a scam

Lesson in there

 That's a great point.
It seems like 90% of ads on those corporate social media platforms are scams, when I occasionally take a peek.
Even the ones with legit products advertise them with massive discounts, which when you take a look, you can still buy them elsewhere at half the 'discounted' price.

 For real, if I ever take off my YouTube ad blocker, should take me 1 or 2 videos before I am getting some AI generated video scam, some info product influencer scam or like you say drop shipping or whitelabelling scams

Scams are profitable so you can have margins to outbid others for ad impressions 

But I even the so called "organic" content, theres no shortage of scams making the rounds on Tikytok
