Same here. A buddy of mine was listening to YT Music on a speaker when an infomercial length ad started talking (uh, I mean, lying) about all the how and why the United States has the best healthcare system in the world and there's no good reason to change any of it.

My head almost exploded. What. The. Fuck.

    A lot of ads just seem like AI advertising made-up products that don't exist, gambling, or payday loans. Or sometimes totally normal things like a local college.

    Normal college that makes you take out loans, or worse, sketchy technical schools that promise they'll help you find a job if you just sign up for a 20k loan

    Surprisingly just the local community college that's been around for decades. ~$1000/semester for full-time in-district residents or ~$1600/semester for in-state but out-of-district). Not sure why they're doing ads like they're a scam, unless there's been some changes such that they are.
