I’m guessing you are relatively young, because what you are seeing isn’t a significant change on society, but rather a change in yourself, or to be more specific a change in how others perceive you.

In fact I’m willing to bet you’re ~27-28 years old, because what you are seeing is your profile getting moved from the 18-25 market segment to the 26-35 segment.

The scams where always there, it’s just that people thought you were too poor to market them to you.

I might argue differently. I am regularly shown how to start day trading and starting my own ecommerce site that makes 30k a month with no effort needed on Youtube regularly. These guys aren't looking for intelligent people.

Youtube profiled me as a pure dumbass, and it might have to do with all the Rogan videos I watch.

Just watch a few minutes of this: https://www.digitalpodcastmillionaire.com/episode13

These are the types of ads I'm seeing 24/7.

Never said they were.

They’re likely looking for men, specially young (but old enough to have some savings), middle class (so you have a high enough paying job), preferably single, and even better with low to no financial know how.
