charlesarthur pilhofer Last time I worked with a pub who purchased traffic from one of the top chum cos I ran independent verification & found at a rate of 12-14c per click ~80% of the traffic we purchased was probably not human, or from sites that sent us more traffic a month then they saw in a year.

charlesarthur pilhofer I understand these companies know about this issue and have invested in ML to resolve it, but I personally find this approach unlikely to have any success. However, most of their clients don't care to, or lack technical capacity, for verification, so not much incentive to fix.
