Instagram for example has been autogenerated computer voiced spam audio over stock footage for a literally physically impossible product for years. You basically cannot buy a legitimate product from an instagram ad. For a decade or more, a reliable grift has been selling "buy something on ali-express and sell it on another site for 10x markup" as some sort of business secret to low information people and other scam-vulnerable populations, and nearly all of them nowadays amount to "the next step is to buy $10k worth of ads on instagram" for the same white label product that everyone else is dropshipping. They're just get-rich-quick schemes. That's why they are so clearly low effort and fraudulent, because that's just how get-rich-quick schemes always are, because the target audience believes that if they just scam a little harder, they can be rich too.
