The advertisers would care if their ads dont bring genuine users to their product and dont buy their product.
You're giving a lot of credit to marketers when they usually spend a budget without care and then report they had x views/likes/impressions taunting that as a success.

It's a bullshit oriented industry with almost zero scrutiny.

Yes. A lot of agencies get paid as a percentage of spend. There's very little concern or effort put in to true ROI.
