Google is defunding those people by taking their money ;)

  Not if the ads result in more money being thrown at them.

    Quite a while (decade+?) ago, I heard from an anti-spam drone at Google that they had thought they'd figured out the key to spam mitigation: make it prohibitively expensive ... only to discover that political spammers did not care about losing money as a side effect of propagating their talking points.

      Precisely. It's a bit like those ads for some charities: the charities don't care about the cost of the ads as long as it nets them a benefit, even to the point where a very high fraction of their spend is advertising, sometimes even more than they spend on their declared goal.
