Fake Elon Musk livestreams promoting crypto scams have plagued YouTube for days
- tslocum 2y agoI tried submitting the following article yesterday: https://mashable.com/article/fake-elon-musk-crypto-scam-youtube-livestreams https://mashable.com/article/fake-elon-musk-crypto-scam-yout... The scam streams are entirely or nearly identical in content. Considering the scale of automated copyright detection that takes place at YouTube, why are these identical/similar streams still on YouTube days after being reported on in the media?
