Fraudulent and "too good to be true" ads can't help legitimate radio advertisers. They create a toxic environment.
Take the fruits and veggie pills that are claimed to cure cancer, emphysema, hepatitis-c, high blood pressure and more. The ads contain "testimonials" where people actually make those claims. If I were a legitimate advertiser I wouldn't expect listeners to take anything I said seriously.
As TheBigA points out, those ads pay the bills. But if they dry up, what then? Probably not to worry ... you know what P.T. Barnum said.
BTW, the K4K charity has been called out by various media for several years. If you're going to buy something, donate a car, whatever ... Google is your friend.
