Determined to find info on the Phenomena of Non-English speaking gaming YouTube channels being targeted by hackers to siphon adsense via Fox News Boomer bait.

reporting these cases via youtube report system ends in termination of the accounts entirely and I made that error almost a year ago on the first 2-3 channels I noticed taking part in this trend.

@MoistCr1TiKaL hey man, been trying to give this information to literally anyone who will listen, long story short - foreign gaming channels being hacked to post entire fox news segments with boomer tuber click bait, ruining channels - DO NOT REPORT THE CHANNELS OR VIDEOS

[Seth Capaldi @SethCapaldi]

I have heard nothing about this and most times people are shocked when I tell them. Please help these content creators, their 'careers' are in danger.

@TeamYouTube There are small-ish (100k+ subs) YouTube channels being hijacked that are posting many entire segments of @FoxNews to the victims channels for up to 100k+ views for the purpose of what I imagine - is to siphon ad sense. Reporting the videos terminates the accounts.

[Seth Capaldi @SethCapaldi]

Most of the accounts are Eastern European and sometimes Indo Pacific. There's probably not many English speaking viewers, therefore less eyes on it in the community where the vast majority of people on the platform are located and may not have the loudest voices to be heard.

A simple search for "fox news live" on @youtube and you can find a number of new victims daily.

Talha&Enes, a Turkish #YouTube channel has been hacked. It is another account that uses #Fox News segments posted by hackers to siphon adsense from smaller but popular Gaming channels. Reporting the channels affected may ruin someones career up to this point. They have 778k subs.

@YouTubeGaming A simple search for "fox news live" on @youtube and you can find a number of new victims daily.

Here are examples of other #youtube accounts being targeted by hackers who post #foxnews segments for insane numbers of views. This has been going on for quite some time and I want to see someone acknowledge this @YouTubeGaming

[Seth Capaldi @SethCapaldi]

Does anyone have information on the #talhaenes hack?

[Seth Capaldi @SethCapaldi]

It seems to be an attack from somewhere in the Indo pacific, I have been following this phenomena for close to a year and I'm not even sure any one is aware that this is happening. I'm unsure why eastern European channels are targeted but that is what I have noticed.

Talha & Enes, another non-English speaking YouTube gaming channel has been hacked with this victim being the closest one to 1m subscribers I have seen yet. Who ever does this always posts entire segments of Fox News non stop. @coffeebreak_YT https://t.co/I0BpEw6kZ1
