Are you not concerned about all the people embedding these videos here? Nice boost for the videos on youtube.
Look at this Bitcoin scam!

I understand your point, but I doubt a handful of links would cause any significant effect on the streams ranking, especially when they are all already at top positions with 5 figure live view counts.

From whom was it initiated? I just saw that Woz was involved - and I can't somehow believe him scamming, so what is all the fuzz about?

That is the scam, he has nothing to do with it, they just use his image to build reputation. Don't believe everything you see bro.

It's not Woz, ofc. The scammers are just using the names and old interviews of tech celebrities and entrepreneurs to gain credibility.

... and you shouldn't comment on everything you haven't even read
As mentioned, I haven't seen the video and just noticed the repitive mentioning of Steve Wozniak in this thread, thus wondering what he had to do with this "Bitcoin scam".
Ah, thanks - probably him commenting on the BTC rise or smth else, taken out of context and being abused to scam people. (or at least my guess without seeing the video).

There was the same stuff going on Twitter back in the days.
I remember biggest scam was something like 500 ETH
Which was about 600.000$ more or less from one tweet.
I would never do something like this but isn't the same as posting fake profile in YouTube comments providing people with fake giveaways just so they complete an offer.
This way you are stealing peoples time and stealing from the advertiser as the conversion you sent him is worthless.
This just shows you who is really into crypto, mostly naive people that wants to get rich quick.
Feel sorry for them.
I hope they take this as a lesson to learn from it.
Cheers,

I already noticed this shit. Same on Twitter literally every time Elon Musik is tweeting there is someone making tweets about crypto give aways.
How can people fall for it? Easy: They are greedy as fuck. The greediness takes over the ability to question this scheme. There is no way a normal thinking person would be like: "Oh hey, the rich guy is giving money to complete strangers on the internet." But people are so greedy that they have this fake perception to actually really believe it.

A youtube account I know got hacked for this shit.
He said, he was approached by a sponser with a VPN or similar product and was told that they are about to finish their final build. They wanted the youtuber to install it and was offering $1000 for a promo video. Well, he was skeptical, but somehow installed it just to see what it was. He got antivirus alerts, but they said it was because the build was still in the beta stage.
Hours later, his account is gone,him gmail infos changed, removed all recovery options and deleted all videos.

It keeps going on, everyday new hacked channels with changed names stream this scam. Did some analytics, they are banking good, less each day, but still. Halving is the keyword, newbies in coin dont know much about it so they fall in.
Most domains are RU.
Live view count is that makes it interesting, must be botnet. It would be too expensive to give ~150k live views from some services for stream that has high chance to get flagged and removed fast.
Crazy shiet. Forks and and halvings are best for this scam.. Scammers will scam, losers will lose. I'm Impressed for the effort, I guess they were stockpiling yt accounts for a while. Most of them are with quite a lot subscribers.

This is very common in India. I have heard from multiple friends who are youtubers.
