How is perception affected by not-paying suspect accounts but not banning them either? The public doesn't see the clickfraud

They could be shadow banning them or they could be continuing to allow them to operate in service of their algorithms. The public doesn’t see clickfraud but they also don’t see headlines about Google ads having a fraud problem.

A rare anecdote of Joe Schmo not getting his 97.54 payout is effectively meaningless.
