Interesting, just went to the channel to look and the comments are full of people promoting a scam amazon crypto:

Interesting to see the scams play out in real time. To be clear it looks like bots on his channel not something he is actually promoting. His content seemed not that bad? Extremely clickbaity for sure.

I like how they made the cursor to a hand when hovering over the comments, as if you could click it, but it actually does nothing and is just a css class :D

Also, lol @ the comments: https://amazonwt.com/js/ytc-settings.js

... actually, when I think about that, I believe those scammers are German, IMO. They used the word "commis" for comments, which kinda looks like a false friend from the german netspeak "Kommis". They also have a german comment in there, "Geht das echt" (=> "Does this work", very non-ML, native speaker translation), no other non-english language. Mhh.

His videos, his comments. He's responsible for moderation.
