To be fair, there are few select sites which have tighter advertising control.
Comment on Download Button Triplets without Adblock

Those fake download buttons go way back - they were around in the late 90s. In a quarter century the ad industry hasn’t managed to block this easy to detect scam and therefore I never will deactivate my adblocker. Fuck them.

I’m 99% sure it uses Google ads, they don’t care if it’s scam or porn, as long as they get money for the ad

It really disappoints me that Google never did anything about those. Shows how profitable they must be.

It’s always like that. Try to search for a popular program for PC (as example) without ad blocker, I bet the first results are ads from totally different sites that use the program name in their title so people click thinking it’s the real program. How this is not illegal is beyond me, and it’s Google’s fault, they allow that and they should be punished with fines
