I can’t imagine anyone being horny and dumb enough to fall for some robotic AI voice advertising a porn game about overwatch. And I can’t imagine boomers get horny over 3D characters. Same with those weird TikTok-esque porn sites. The only explanation I have is that these companies know very young and gullible people are on there and are trying to profit off them

    They probably COULD run a scam that would make most people think it's legit for a while. The problem there is that it would be a lot more effort on their part, and most of the people who were swayed at the beginning would figure out what's going on at some point. They're trying to find the easiest marks.

    You thinking "who would fall for this obvious shit" is already proof you're not a mark, so you eliminate yourself quickly. It's the people who continue despite how obvious it is that they're going after.

    A similar thing is how there are still Nigerian prince scams, despite the fact that it's probably the most well-known scam. They know that, and they know most people will delete any of those emails as soon as they get them. They're after the people who would still continue despite how well known those are.
