Major tech platforms have been caught deprioritizing ad moderation to maintain advertising revenue, turning a blind eye to scam campaigns targeting users. Documents reveal that profit margins often outweigh content safety measures, leaving users vulnerable to fraudulent schemes.

For crypto and blockchain communities, this raises serious alarms. Fraudulent ads promoting fake exchanges, phishing schemes, and token scams frequently exploit platform gaps to reach victims. When platforms choose revenue optimization over policing, users become collateral damage.

The lesson is clear: don't rely solely on platforms' trust and safety teams. Verify every link independently, check official channels directly, and remain skeptical of unsolicited investment opportunities—especially in crypto where scams are endemic. Your due diligence is your best defense.

It's the same old story. Platforms talk about safety first, but then sell your information for advertising revenue. How funny. That's why I never click on unfamiliar links, no matter how tempting. The crypto space is basically a scam paradise, and platforms are colluding too. We can only rely on ourselves. It's 2024, and people are still falling for phishing ads. Really need to wake up. Profit is more important than safety. This is the true face of big platforms.

Now the truth is finally revealed: the platform made its fortune by selling ad space. User safety? Haha. When they have more money, they start to act up, especially in the crypto world, which is a major disaster zone. Fake exchanges are emerging endlessly. I stopped trusting the reviews of these platforms long ago; verifying links myself is the real way. Another "profit first" story. Anyway, no one cares if users get scammed. Just manage it yourself; on-chain is the true decentralized freedom.

This is the same old story, big platforms are just like this... Money is more valuable than safety. Don't rely on them anymore, everyone should be more cautious. It's no secret that scams in the crypto space have long been common; platforms just pretend not to see. Verify yourself and do your own research (DYOR), there's no other way. That's why I never click on unfamiliar links... The tuition is too expensive. Platforms make money, they're happy; users get scammed, they're also happy. A classic win-win situation, right? It's truly unbelievable. Security teams are just a decoration. I just want to ask, who still believes in the platform's review process? Another big news story turns into no one cares, just a common occurrence.

Here we go again? The platform's eyes are blinded by money, and our crypto circle is just a target. Damn, no need to say more. I stopped trusting those so-called security reviews a long time ago. It's your own fault for not checking the links; who still waits for the platform to save you these days? Fake exchanges have been phishing for years, and some people still click... Truly speechless. Fuck, and no one is responsible? Is that it? Honestly, they don't care whether we live or die, as long as the advertising fees come in. Fine, I might as well be a street beggar online, trusting nothing. Finally, it's been confirmed; I sensed something was wrong a long time ago. Why do we always have to be on guard ourselves? Double checking and verifying again and again, isn't that exhausting, everyone? It's ridiculous—sucking blood on one side and pretending to be innocent on the other. We need to pay more attention ourselves; after all, the platform can't be trusted.
