Wow. Native ads are getting wild.<p>In the middle of a story about getting crypto scammed:<p>“If you&#x27;re interested in legitimate and lucrative investment opportunities, StartEngine presents a reliable platform where users can invest in promising startups. With a community of 1.8 million potential investors, StartEngine is shaping the future of startup financing and provides a trustworthy avenue for people seeking ways to grow their wealth.”

I find it difficult to sympathise with her. How you entrust someone you’ve never met with $450K is beyond me.

&gt; Shreya Datta spent months swiping through dating apps searching for a connection when she encountered &quot;Ancel Mali,&quot; a self-proclaimed wine trader from France, on Hinge.<p>The context in which this sentence is presented is perfect, and I genuinely laughed my ass off upon reading it.

I stopped using online dating roughly 15 years ago because most people have no intention of meeting, and only use it to pad their ego (much like instagram). Everyone else on there is a scam.

What’s interesting in this case is that it’s a female that got scammed. “Pig Butchering Scheme” is a strange name to call it.
