Apparently GTA VI scam ads are popping up on Youtube now. TheProfessional is mad about it popping up before his videos.

YouTube in general has a MASSIVE issue with fake trailers and shit. Every time I see media shit on there it's the fakest and gayest shit, no "fan made" or whatever shit added. About a week ago I saw a "new spider-man teaser!" video pop up and it was some gay deepfake of the current spider-man having his suit turn black.
Funny that after deleting so many accounts for "fake news" or "misinfo" YT seems to have more fake media users than ever that get promoted by their algorithm.

I still find the irony that both Dr. Dre & Rockstar are still working on Detox & GTA VI respectively. Is it possible that procrastinators can work together?

YouTube does scams for not just video games, but fake products. I can't tell you how many times I've seen ads for a "free Dr. Pepper mini fridge" that redirects you to one of those sites where you have to fill out surveys and sign up for trial memberships before saying "you have already claimed this gift and cannot get another one".
Scammers also buy ads on Google that look like Amazon Support links that pop up when you Google "Amazon Support" with scam websites and phone numbers that will steal your account.
AdBlock is 100% justified because it protects you from malicious content intended to scam you that Google knowingly promotes on their websites.

Scam ads for GTA 6 exist before the actual GTA 6 game comes out.
It sounds like an in-game parody that Rockstar would have satirized to death.
It’s also the same thing with fake ads for Shark Cards, too. Most of the videos I’ve seen from people were from so-called GTA fans advertising hacks for GTA V’s PC version offering free Shark Cards as it was one of those “giveaways” for watching the entire video on how to scam on GTA Online.

not to get on a spergy tangent, but it irks me tremendously that people refer the "Definitive" GTA Trilogy as a remaster and not a remake

It's more of a remaster than other remasters because it uses the old code and piles new (bad) graphics and (broken) features on top.
To me, that's a remaster and a remake either remakes the game in a different engine to play as close as possible as the original but with updated graphics and features (like the Crash Bandicoot N. Same Trilogy) or keeps the general story and spirit of the gameplay but modernizes them (like Yakuza Kiwami)

It is a remaster and not a remake, though.

The beginning of this mission, where are Kent Paul and Maccer hanging from? And what does the couch have to do with their predicament?

They are hanging from the window, tied to to the couch. Rosemburg sitting on the couch is keeping them from dropping.

I understand why Ken is stuck as middleman with the three families, but why are Kent and Maccer involved?

It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure they're not "involved" so much as Salvatore is just torturing them cause they were staying with Ken when he showed up.

One of the coolest things I have seen the GTA online protagonist do is get shouted at by an enraged Trevor and barely even flinch. Even Trevor shouts angrily "Whats wrong with you?! WHY ARENT YOU SCARED OF ME?!"
Franklin's character arc is wanting to be someone in life instead of the low life thug "Hood 4 life" that Lamar is. He has ambition to be more than a low tier thug. He is clearly held back by his so called "friends" and petty bosses.
It reminds me a bit of the dynamic between CJ and Sweet, especially later on.
He and Micheal clicked because Franklin needed guidance and mentor and Micheal wanted someone to share what he knew (since his own children are fucking disrespectful infantile degenerate morons).
To be fair, anyone that falls for this deserves to get scammed.
There is a sucker born every minute.

AdBlock isn't enough. You should also get uMatix, uBlock Origin, or something similar to block all the crap and malware sites try to load on your computer..

I would ask why doesn't Youtube or R* do anything about these channels, but I already know the answer.

The next GTA will have a subscription service. Bet your top dollar on it.

The current GTA has a subscription service, so that's a safe bet.

I think he meant for single-player, if there is one.
Wait no, there will be one, but you have to buy an additional subscription to access the multiplayer. And if one of two is not active/renewed, you're locked out of the game completely.
