***YouTube Users, PLEASE READ!!***
« on: April 16, 2020, 07:38:43 pm »
Have you recently been getting comments within a couple of minutes of posting your video from a Tim, Tom, or Tem with the logo below?






They are also coming from TrapTown or a fake MrBeast account:






I had spotted it on 3 members channels: Gil, Scott and Bruce, but at the time, didn't know who or what they were.. Their's were all posted by "Tom", but now it just shows as a blue person with no name, so I believe the user that commented on their channels has already been reported and deleted...










If you see these comments appear or one of these people subscribe to your channel, report them to youtube and delete that person!

I do not yet know all the details, will have to read up... but I have read that they can take over your channel and anything that is attached to it through Google.

YouTube channels are a business that can be bought/sold and if your channel gets hacked, it can be sold by someone else!

Haha yes, he was commenting within a minute of the videos being posted, not even enough time to have watched it.

Bonjour,
I have also noticed that some different people (but not Tpm) were quickly liking my videos and wanted to become friends with the same words and I did not pay much attention because it was never the same pseudo.
I do not know if they can catch my channel but next time I see such a comment, I signal it to YouTube.

Is it best to report them as unwanted spam? Porn? Hate speech? You don't get much to choose from  and they provide no place to describe the actual problem. I suppose spam is the closest.
