This is so stupid. God forbid they actually police their ads for malware. No, instead let's push the responsibility onto the individual, by adding get another "Papers, Please"-esque stamp that very few people will know about and even less will actually use.
Hard pass. The day I saw them promoting malware above legitimate search results is the day I turned on ad blocking for my entire org, and a stupid little pay-to-verify badge isn't going to change that.

One way they make money. One way they'd need to spend it. It's against capitalism to do the latter.
The "Papers, Please" comparison is perfect!
