Facebook has a history of fraud in their other services. Veritasium fell victim to FB&#x27;s scams as a publisher a couple years ago[1].<p><pre><code>    I know first-hand that Facebook&#x27;s advertising model is deeply flawed. When I paid to
    promote my page I gained 80,000 followers in developing countries who didn&#x27;t care about
    Veritasium (but I wasn&#x27;t aware of this at the time). They drove my reach and engagement
    numbers down, basically rendering the page useless.

They also have a history of encouraging video fraud[2][3].<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=oVfHeWTKjag" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=oVfHeWTKjag</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=L6A1Lt0kvMA" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=L6A1Lt0kvMA</a><p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=t7tA3NNKF0Q" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=t7tA3NNKF0Q</a>
