I'm not on Twitter much but I've seen plenty of livestreams coming up in my YouTube feed. What I find striking about some of them is just how creative the scammers have gotten and the production values involved. During the last Starship launch there were several fake livestreams purporting to be from SpaceX. They had custom graphics and gauges and were all soliciting Bitcoin in order to "fill the tank" ahead of launch. There were literally hundreds of people on some of them and it's unlikely they were all bots. What's particularly brazen about these schemes is that the normal reporting mechanisms don't work. When YouTube looks into it hours later the damage has already been done.
