No, I operate under the assumption that advertisers can scam gullible users.

From casinos, to shady inexistent job offers, to malware, there's a whole world of -ads- targeting the final users as a victim

on x.com (formerly twitter) if you don't paid for premium you get ads for drainers and scams on crypto etc too

it's overall a mess tbh, I never trusted nor liked marketing or advertising, it's just lies in disguise.
