The ‘Big 7’ prop up the U.S. stock market, accounting for a third of its value. Their sky-high valuations rely on a ‘growth’ narrative—if that fades, their stocks could crash.

Google deliberately worsened search results to keep users viewing more ads, as recent research revealed. A WSJ investigation found Meta knowingly lets criminal advertisers flourish, fearing a stock drop if it cracks down.

    Same with Google, reported an ad that was obvious scam (like copied news websites telling you to invest in this vague crypto currency while promising 50,000% returns, like next level not to be trusted) thinking i was helping people out only to get a reply they found no evidence it broke one of their policies. They know they’re in bed with bed guys.

      YouTube ads are 100% scam from what I can tell.

      At my work there’s a computer that residents only use to listen to music on YouTube and after each song it’s nothing but ai generated ads for some weird trick a housewife found and other blatant bald-face lies.
