>> How about them YouTube videos dominating the finance SERPS?

I'm seeing (and have been over the past 6 months) exact-match YouTube results which aren't really videos but rather images with overlay links to spammy sites. Many of them actually infect your system with malware.

They aren't necessarily from the finance niche since I don't usually search for those topics, but they are from other fairly lucrative niches.

I don't understand how or why they are showing up in SERPs at all, because user engagement must be pretty bad.
