  • Hi guys, following an increase in emails about this I thought it best to make a channel wide announcement that anything to do with Telegram is a scam. So please stay vigilant!

Since late last year, there has been A.I.-generated news ads involving Swedish celebrities like Dolph Lundgren, about them being "arrested" or a sensational reveal. People on Reddit mentions that they have reported the fake ads. CZcams responded with that the ads are not damaging enough to be removed.

    Once you have seen one of these scams you will recognise them easily. I block them and report them whenever I see them, it's the only thing we can do. But as someone else said, how easy it is that YT can demonetise a creator for a few seconds of content and remove comments from people but can't control the bots.
    BTW, Happy Birthday Fil, many happy returns.

      @perwestermark8920 Před měsícem +1

      The bots aren't out there scamming people. It's very much real people out there scamming people. It's just that they are using bots to make the posts. But they have already analyzed the type of YT channel so they can offer the correct type of fake prizes to trick viewers with.
      That's why people can "win" a guitar on this channel. Some other offers on other channels.
      This has existed for a very long time. It's trivial to recognize the scam posts. And despite being trivial - YT still allows them. Either by not caring. Or maybe someone getting kickbacks from the scams. But YT is definitely having a huge responsibility for these scams continuing for so very long time.
