I see them quite often when watching on YouTube, I used to get annoyed about it but now I just ignore them because of how often I see then. It's amazing how a multi-billion dollar platform just allows videos like that on its ad slots while also saying that they aim to protect its users from scams.
Truly they are annoying and Alphabet needs to step on this. Coming from google which allows phishing links to be on top searches as they're advertised, it's the same with the video platform YouTube.  Undecided

There are hundreds of these channels and these unscrupulous YouTubers who lure their subscribers with video titles and thumbnails promising quick wealth. They craft their scam schemes through eaxaggerated positive comments, claiming that the bot works well and that they have earned thousands of dollars in just one day. This is a classic case of - too good to be true.

Anyone who follows their instructions, as detailed in the video description, is likely to fall victim to a clear scam and lose the 0.5 ETH [$1320] they set as the minimum deposit for their fraudulent bot, potentially draining his entire wallet , so it is necessary to do research and not blindly trust everything published on YouTube, as the platform allows anyone to post content and even these YouTubers can purchase subscribers. Remember, there are no quick profits in this field.
That's true, it's sad that out of the many viewers that they have it is very possible that someone out there has been a victim already and it won't stop unless these videos will be out of the sponsored and won't appear on their platform. They should be completely removed but they are for the money and these cons will continue to just buy and place ad spaces and YouTube is happy about it that they're fed with scam money.

I've seen these "sponsored" videos on YouTube upon opening my browser and I've noticed that they're all identical and you'll get the idea upon seeing them. I didn't watch the entire videos because it's very obvious that they're trying to trick their audience into making money through chatgpt prompt into codes and running smart contracts and trading bots that everyone can make passive income by just copying pasting the codes for which there could be a stealer. This scam/hack is what probably others have done with the step-by-step process told in these videos and that's why their funds through their metamask or any wallet suggested have been sucked.

I'm not encouraging you to watch these scam videos trying to trick viewers as if making money is too easy but you can help by reporting them to YT. To the newbies and everyone, there is no easy money. And what's crazy is that this syndicate is shilling on the comment section as if real transactions were made and they've received back enormous amounts upon following the procedures.

Please don't be fooled, don't be deceived.

I believe that the channel on this first video with 214k subscribers is likely hacked or bought and the same with the other two.

1. In this first video, many will be deceived because of that cute girl trying to teach their potential victims about deployment and running a mev bot on ethereum (Metamask wallet)

Note: I have included the link through 'code' so that it won't be clickable but kindly advise if I should remove it. I have reported it as Spam or misleading > Scams or fraud. You can also help to report it so that YT will take it down.
