That's actually what I mean, YouTube polices ads based on how controversial it may be, it means they care. Probably because it may hurt their viewership, or drive off other advertisers.

And they don't seem to do it to comply with some laws, or making it more kid friendly since, as you said, sports betting gets a pass, even if it is absolutely "adult" and maybe even illegal in some countries. Obviously, scams are illegal too.

It just mean they think scams don't give them enough of a bad reputation to police against, which is weird do me, one would think that reputable brands wouldn't want to appear next to scammers.
