I think that is the case.
Found a very weird ecom method from a sketchy ad on YouTube. Some help?

to be fair, Agency ad accounts and threshold accounts up to 10k spend are widely popular so advertising is not the issue, neither is the product thanks to China, the real bottle neck is the payment processors hence why they have many companies and accounts, i have seen some atrocious looking landing pages selling products in latin america and africa, I'm talking Eye sore level designs but bank like crazy since it is all about the video creative and old people just know how to look for the buy button, and just FYI it considered to be a scam or hella expenssive to have a website that looks nice in some part of the world so your conversion rates drop to the bottom haahahah maybe they are running a legit business with 1% ROI and tons of money and time to invest
so they're spending their own money on ads or?

It's an interesting method indeed, but it's still worth trying. You never know where opportunities will arise, and I see these kinds of tactics a lot—they probably work.
thats insane they going very broad

this kind of thing has always amazed me, let us know what you find, its most likely just credit card fraud though, at every single step, running the ads with stolen cards and identities, then using cards collected to do the same. Pretty wild

It's not CC fraud 99% of the time, it's selling a product.
Id like to imagine there's some aspect of fraud to running the ads. They are ran very inefficiently which means they do not care about the spend

They are doing what I used to do, spamming the platform.
I never sold anything tangible but I did it to drive traffic to my sites where I had CPA offers.
you spammed paid traffic too? Or organic. Idk how one would spam paid traffic maybe im not thinking properly

I didn't use paid traffic to spam but I did use tools to spam.

There has been an increase in these very low quality ads and shitty products, almost always with AI voices. All the ads, sites, and products look like they’re made by the same person/company and they have an extremely large advertising budget.
My guess is Chinese suppliers got tired of dealing with dropshippers and cut out the middle man. These sites are being created in bulk and they all look like shitty Alibaba products. I honestly think China just decided to market themselves. Dropshipping is dead. The only person who can make a worthwhile profit is the suppliers themselves, so it makes sense. These ads will probably go away after Holidays.
