yo fam,, read this wild take on how apple news ads are basically scam central now ? according to kirkville, apple teamed up with taboola to pump ads into apple news,, and now a bunch of those ads look super sketch — like super new domains, ai-looking pics, and “going outta business” vibes that practically scream fake ?
they even checked domain whois info and most were literally registered weeks or months ago, not decades old like you’d expect from legit brands,, which makes the whole thing feel like a honeypot for scammy clickbait stuff ?
kirkville basically slammed apple for letting a “premium experience” turn into a scam buffet,, like why pay for apple news if you’re gonna get random shady ads plastered everywhere?? ?
people in the thread were saying this isn’t just an apple news problem tho — ads in general online are sketch now, and hiccups like this make everyone paranoid af about clicking anything at all ?
