Ask HN: Why do I keep seeing `btc giveaway` on YouTube?

1 pointsby itchyjunkalmost 5 years ago
I keep see stuff like this [0]. But it&#x27;s not just videos, even the ads keeps saying &quot;BTC giveaways&quot; and such. I have not actually clicked any of them. Wasn&#x27;t sure who else to ask about it.<p>[0] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;sa97FHj

The second one is from a fake Dell channel <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;channel&#x2F;UCT0IpiHRAArq7AunUjBlpYw&#x2F;videos" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;channel&#x2F;UCT0IpiHRAArq7AunUjBlpYw&#x2F;vid...</a> The real channel is <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;user&#x2F;DellVlog&#x2F;videos" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;user&#x2F;DellVlog&#x2F;videos</a><p>I´t probably a scam, where you send them some coins and they promise to return the double, but mysteriously you never receive your doubled money.<p>Why? A fool and his cryptocoins are soon parted.
