How is this not fraud to the advertisers?

With Adsense I pay for people to search for X term and in turn show them an ad for my product.

But people are searching for Y, google is changing their search terms to include X so that I have to pay Google more and the client gets a shittier result.

Holy fuck.

That’s epic scale fraud.
