Recently I saw a video on my youtube feed claiming to be a "Live" crypto discussion with 4 people including "Elon Musk". It looked pretty legitimate so I checked it out. It was obviously pre-recorded and re-streamed and a scam. So I flagged the video and 4-5 hrs later got a notification that it has been removed. The next day the same video appeared. I flagged it again and it was removed 4-5hrs later (note there was 50k+ viewing the live stream). The next day it appeared again. I stopped bothering to report it.
Does youtube not have a responsibility to protect viewers from fraud? Surely they can detect the same video being posted again?
I wonder how many people are losing money to these scams.
