Ugh, those are the worst.
I like space and rocketry, I enjoy watching space related content, so naturally, the algorithm recommends space content. Now, every time I open my feed, there are at least 10 of the fake Elon Musk crypto scam live streams. And no matter how many times I report these fake 'Space X', 'Space-X' 'Space_X' crypto scam channels, they remain up, and YT keeps recommending this junk.
Scammers have figured out that YT has a hard time moderating live streams. And it appears to be working too, many of those fake streams have lots of viewers (unless, that is fake too).
