OMG! YouTube ads system is broken ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡

LoL Mobile Gaming has got 1.42 million subs since starting this channel 6 months ago.

This channel is hijacking growth by running ads of the membership content. He is running ads for views and his video is popping up on many videos. As his content is gated, and only those views count as video views when someone buys a subscription.

In simple words, video ad pops up but video views remain zero.

I don't know exactly that this is the same channel that got 400K subscribers in 1 day for Free exploiting this trick.

Here is a video by a random YouTuber describing this SCAM.

      maybe it's okay to spend less time caring about folks who are spending time scamming the system... and just build your own channel?
