Exactly this!!

Seriously, bingo. And the idea that Google "didn't know" this is total garbage. Google's advertising business is not a neglected corner of the business.

Given so many sites run google analytics - google can run the metrics from click to dwell time etc.

What's weird - I don't have a phd in data-analytics, and I'm not google analytics expert, but it's pretty clear when some source of traffic is being tricked or the other one I had issues with (paid) to click through. Because they don't convert, and some bounce within a fraction a second.

And google couldn't determine this stuff was low quality?
