Same I have reported a few of them already, YouTube is very slow to do anything about stuff like this.

I was seeing ads for months claiming Elon was giving his fortune to Canada and Trudeau was handing it out to people who signed up on a 'totally legit' website. Kept reporting them, but they kept showing up. YouTube doesn't care about the ads they serve, about who gets scammed by stuff life this, as long as the cheque clears from the advertiser they're happy to intentionally live in ignorance until they can't ignore the reports.

Origin. Doesn't solve it for everyone else though.

Youtube/Google is an advertising company, they only care if they're getting paid.

They care equal to the amount of consequences they face

Thing is that they also just keep making new accounts too.

Google has all that fancy content ID. They choose not to use it to stop these deepfake scams, and they should be held liable for it.

Ya most of the time it is the “exact” same video so it should be trivial for content ID to block. Hell we know they have auto transcripts they could even block on text it is so dumb.
