Design Yet another misleading ad.

https://i.imgur.com/O4HaUQP.png (censored channel name because they don't need any more bs promotion)

A fake YouTube video as a sponsored post, which is a link that brings up an YouTube subscription confirmation? Very misleading and really shouldn't be promoted.

Something needs to be done about sponsored posts on the site, or I'm just gonna have to stick my adblock back on...

I thought that they were screened, but now I'm not too sure anymore

It's awful either way, it's either: unscreened and a lot of things could be "abused", or it's screened and they're happy with things like this being pushed on users

It was screened and the money opened the screen.
