I mean have you seen the ads for phone games? That shit's so fake that I've seen ads that say "funny you hate fake game ads" while advertising with fake content for their games. It's a meme alright, but they don't bother chasing down shitty Chinese app developers because it's an endless game of whack-a-mole.
