Now even YouTube serves ads with CPU-draining cryptocurrency miners

a Google representative posted:

Mining cryptocurrency through ads is a relatively new form of abuse that violates our policies and one that we’ve been monitoring actively. We enforce our policies through a multi-layered detection system across our platforms which we update as new threats emerge. In this case, the ads were blocked in less than two hours and the malicious actors were quickly removed from our platforms.

i thought google was the ad provider, why are they subcontracting to sketchy fly by night operators

even if i believed in the "ads for content" maxim, id stop believing over this

im glad i blocked ads 8-9? years ago.

if google hadn't said they actually took down those ads i might have considered the people reporting it had some sort of malware or mitm hijacking adframes, because i mistakenly believed they kept the ad side of their business on lock, and that the garbage they allowed on youtube dot com would only show up in the video frame
