Nah, Riley owns bones and his tache is excellent. If you want to get into gross taches look at the fat live-in boyfriend that you can smell through a YouTube tab.

Amazing that YouTube doesn't have anyone that can at least shut down a 15 million sub channel that's obviously compromised and actively streaming scam videos.

Their official policy is apparently to just do nothing until the channel owner contacts them

i have to wonder if it was actual hacking skills involved or if it turns out the accounts all had passwords like "linus123" or a disgruntled employee/past employee shared the logins.

e: knowing ltt it's entirely possible it's all 3.

Wonder if YouTube’s backup restore will also restore the last subscriber state as well. They just dropped from 15+ million subs to below 1.5 million.

Unless BackBlaze sent a container on a freight truck, there's pretty much no way to ingest the amounts of data generated by video editing over a WAN link.

Apparently this might be the hack, explained by some other YouTuber that's been affecting YouTube for a while:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xf9ERdBkM5M

It sounds like someone at LTT may have been a victim of a sponsorship scam, and downloaded malware. The malware sends the active session cookie to the hacker (in this case, the logged in YT account), and then the hacker is already logged in and can fully access the YouTube account. No MFA needed.

Absolutely perfect that people have figured out the way into huge Youtube channels is through explicit scam sponsorships.

Team Youtube is basically the official account that tells channels with less than 1m subs they can't tell them why their channels got suspended or that their investigation has shown that yes their video about music theory is unsuitable for advertisers.

just a few years ago, a trusted flagger was the only way to get your wrongfully banned account reinstated, youtube is such a mess

also lol at linus' last tweet before the hack

Don't worry, generative predictive text generation will make it so that customers will be trapped in a forever-loop, so that companies won't have to pay for support personnel, and can claim they're doing their best with the tools they have available.

Deleting your entire youtube channel, your #1 source of income, is a bit too much for a stunt, even for Linus.
