#4That probably depends on your definition of a scam, but it seems fairly low. Many products and services advertised online just skirts the border of being scams or fraud.

#5I wonder what their definition of scammy is? I bet it’s pretty narrow.

Hungarian ruling party is or was at some point the largest advertiser on Google in EU so yes, the refined recommendation machine has become the perfect polarization machine especially against demographics which tend to believe what they read and watch.

Agreed. At best most of the stuff I ended up buying from an Instagram ad turned out to be oversold or overpromised and underdelivered. While not a scam outright, it's sort of training me to avoid buying anything from ads...

#8At least 50% of the YouTube promoted videos I get are crypto currency scams where some paid actor walks you though deploying an eth contract that empties your wallet. I report every one and nothing changes :(

Same. About half of Youtube ads that I get on my AppleTV (no adblock there sadly) are now AI generated scam products.

For what it's worth, I see no crypto videos. YouTube recommends stuff I find enjoyable (lots of sketch comedy, TTRPG videos, interesting documentary style stuff, BTS on video game development, etc). I really have to wonder if your tastes align with crypto currency scams.
That being said, I am paying for Premium, so I wonder if you are, and if you are blocking ads.
