This is a deepfake crypto scam. I'm not sure if the viewer count is real or inflated, but this is crazy to see in the wild.

Does YouTube have mitigations or takedown processes for these?

But a good one. I did really thought how to scan this code with my mobile while being watching it on my mobile :)

I know, screenshot & load in an appropriate app. But, will it work on my mobile? We'll never find it out.

Theirs a lot of them, they've been popping up and disappearing for a while, they really need to display the tag for the channel next to the name or something, i saw a "live" spacex stream for a launch and i knew their wasn't one, so i checked and sure enough a fucking fake live stream, and guess what if you wait watching 10-20 minutes you'll see a fake crypto ad pop up mid stream, and a deep fake elon talking about go-get-fucked coin"

Never ever saw one. That's the first ever time. That's why I was so surprised and didn't recognize it as scam at once.

I don't know why I don't see it suggested in my YouTube timeline. May be, because I spend more time reading hn instead of watching yt :)

New source anymore?
