RE: Introducing “They Will Kill You” - From YouTube to Steemit (and Everywhere in Between)

in #youtube7 years ago

Demotruk, please - I dont want to sound so suspiciously, but big youtubers often do have moderators who take care of their channels. I also do manage a couple of channels and I can just reply to your comment to "verify" myself as somebody that I am not. Replying to a comment is not a good verification in my opinion.

You know, it is different with jerrybanfield as you can really see that it is him and he do promote himself and his steemit posts.

But we can really hope this is the real theywillkillyou! :)


Please do not take it as a insult from me theywillkillyou. They were some people who did identity-theft and rake a lot of money and we have never seen them there after they withdrawed it. It is always good to be 100% sure. :)

Thanks, I was not aware that this was a common practice.

Though the verification at least narrows it down to a few people with access to the account. And they pinned my comment, making it more likely the channel owner would see it. I guess we'll have 100% assurance if they do a video mentioning Steemit.

Even without 100% certainty we have a full week to catch identity theft and revert the votes.

Good idea, I have a video in the works at this very moment which will also be including a Steemit mention to be released in the near future--stay tuned!
