Well, youtube does accept any videos posted online. The only good thing about this is that they accept reports immediately and move on it to properly remove said scam ads once detected. Might as well just look for extensions that help you block said ads, so that you stop clicking everywhere that may take you somewhere wrong. uBlock Origin and HTTPS everywhere could help in stopping you from going somewhere pretty dangerous.
I have seen this yesterday. They are above of the recommended videos on the right and they are LIVE. These scammers really paid a slot to be on top of those video recommendations. I've reported the stream right away so if people can't see the link now, this might be the first time that Youtube shut down a page fast lol (or maybe the stream was already active for several hours or days before I saw it).
But just wondering here, why Youtube approve the channel in the first place? Of course, these scammers will pay/ask first for a special slot (right?) and it will be subject supposedly for Youtube's review and checking before they will approve this page to start.
Well, anyone is free to post their vids on YT. Afaik, they don't really review it properly when it comes to scams and the like? The youtube AI only reviews those that are NSFW, or when it's rated for kids, but it's not, you get a warning or something. That, and copyrighted content.
