I do subscribe to channels and my feed is also flooded with these scams. (Though usually it is not this bad -- it got much worse starting on the day of SpaceX's Inspiration 4 launch.)
I'm assuming the algorithm is showing them to me because I watch lots of SpaceX and other space videos. The descriptions in these videos are even ripped directly from legit videos that I actually watched!
