Flagging down a spam channel |
|
In July 2021, YouTube set all unlisted videos uploaded before 2017 to private (unless the channel owner had opted out). In the weeks leading up to this change, Archive Team archived many pre-2017 unlisted YouTube videos. If this video was uploaded before 2017 and has gone private, there is a chance that a 360p archived version can be viewed on archive.org via the site's Wayback Machine as follows: 1. Enter the YouTube URL in the Wayback Machine form or click on the following link: https://web.archive.org/web/20210000000000*/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuvyqB1MaYE 2. Right-click on a blue entry in July in the calendar. 3. Click 'Copy link address'. 4. Paste the copied link address into your web browser's address bar and press enter.
Description: A follow up from my discussion of flag week here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Oml3DHUlAM In this video I give an example of what a spam channel is and how easy it is to target and take down. These spam channels trick users into clicking on their malware infested URLs in the video description. There used to be videos with tens of thousands of views, but no longer thanks to people like me constantly flagging them down.
