Problem:
A problem that I was looking through, is this FAKE scam. It pop's up as an advertisement, and claims it's an IQ Test.
The website I am talking about: brainable.com
It's a fake website which charges you money if you enter your email address.
A person could easily click on the advertisement, and give their email address. I tested the website out, and gave a fake email. It explains why it needs money, but it's a total scam.
You can get more information here: Youtube Link explaining why Brainable is a scam.
Solution:
We can easily fix this problem, by personalizing advertisements, or reducing the amount of advertisements. On the average page, there is 3 advertisements if you have not removed advertisements. Maybe this could be fixed, as there are a lot of fake advertisements that I am seeing, OTHER than brainable.com.
Maybe moderate ads a bit better, I guess?
The site uses a third-party ad provider and doesn't directly vet ads. It chooses the types that acceptable but sometimes ad creators decide to try and slip things through.

Is a good way to report bad ads.

Why would you click any of the advertisements knowing that chess.com does not directly moderate any of the advertisements on their platform?
