Updated and added how many subscribers they had gained or lost in the past month. Really shows how sketchy some of them are.

To my knowledge, they don't monetize their videos. I think their main goal is to get sponsorships from ICOs.
I see so I understand now why they are making these videos.

They can make more money if there are ICOs that will hire them to create an attractive and encouraging video about them instead of monetizing it. Good catch that you are doing this job, I've seen people who are following some youtube personnel like these guys as guide to their crypto journey.

I am happy to say I am not watching any of those

ps first
I'm not even following any of them nor watched any of their videos so cheers!

haha I don't think anybody (other than bots) watches them.
Are those accounts are also doing monetization so whether there are bots watching them owner is making money out of views or maybe they are buying it just to gain views? I haven't viewed any of their video but by looking at their channel, they got a massive views.

I've been looking around the crypto space on YouTube and realized that a lot of them have an artificial amount of viewers. This post is essentially a compilation of every crypto YouTuber who possibly view-bots or sub-bots. Just because an account is listed on here, doesn't necessarily mean that they are fake, but it's more of a warning. I'm posting this to help prevent projects from wasting money on these (possibly) fraudulent YouTubers.
If you find another YouTuber who isn't listed on here, feel free to comment their channel so I can add them.

p.s. if anyone knows how to add text anchors let me know. I want to add an index at the top.


Each account below is listed in the following format. All averages are from the 5 most recent posts.
Code:
Channel:
Link:
Subs:
Avg views:
Avg likes:
Avg dislikes:
Avg comments:

Reason:



Channel: CryptoSID
Link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChfZSViDbxDm7UluFRxr_FQ/featured
Subs: 23,032 (+1,023 in a month)
Avg views: 9,970
Avg likes: 21.8
Avg dislikes: 0.2
Avg comments: 98.5

Reason: The views to likes and comments ration seems very off. You'd also expect there to be a higher amount of likes than comments.



Channel: Crypto Chemist
Link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5UWwxaa0-ybl6jfF6ZiJkA
Subs: 36,548 (+5 in a month)
Avg views: 10,277
Avg likes: 108 (Disabled on some videos)
Avg dislikes: 0.7 (Disabled on some videos)
Avg comments: 41

Reason: Disabled likes. Comment count should be much higher for the amount of subs and view he gets per video.



Channel: Professor Crypto
Link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaWPscYkCeYEZgG1QNefZ0w/featured
Subs: 31,330 (-1494 in a month)
Avg views: 8,854
Avg likes: 72.6 (Disabled on most videos)
Avg dislikes: 0.4 (Disabled on most videos)
Avg comments: 60.4

Reason: Disabled likes on most videos. Low comment count for the amount of views.



Channel: SANEM AVCIL
Link: https://www.youtube.com/user/tommymiracles23/featured
Subs: 23,882 (+10,000 in a month)
Avg views: 17,631
Avg likes: 1,760
Avg dislikes: 0.2
Avg comments: 0.4 (All from the same person)

Reason: The amount of comments is absurdly low for the amount of views. The like to dislike ratio is also very unrealistic. Nobody comments but there are an average of 1.7k likes...



Channel: Martins Hacks
Link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJCHQD1qktV-8z-uYTc7p3w/featured

Avg views: 8,374
Avg likes: 402.4 (Disabled on some videos)
