DecryptAds uncovers 2,100+ AI recipe sites monetized by programmatic ads — MFA fraud scales fast

Context

DecryptAds has identified more than 2,100 AI-generated recipe sites that carry programmatic ads and feature fabricated author profiles. The finding points to a new wave of made-based-for-advertising (MFA) inventory that can be produced cheaply at scale and slip past existing supply-path checks. Media buyers, brand safety teams, and anyone running programmatic spend should read the original to judge how exposed their open-web buys may be.
