One would think that with their resources, Google/YouTube could actually vet the ads they run on their platform before they run them. At the very least, check the ads coming from unknown companies

They could, but the goal is 100% automation to maximize profits. Much cheaper to just run an algorithm than using a human being.

You’re assuming they care about the content of the ads. If they’re getting paid, they run the ad, that’s it.

They’re able to do that on all the videos everyone else uploads. They turn a blind eye to ads because all they care about is the money.

They only scan the videos whether they can put ads on them, and content id so they can get music labels to upload their stuff to the platform. They don’t care about the rest.
