Uuuh the first stream on YouTube was Musk giving a speech, so I was waiting for the launch but turns out it was on another stream? So I just missed the whole thing, great.


They don't do lives on youtube, those are scammers. it is always on x.com


Well it shows like SpaceX on mobile with 150k viewers, maybe YouTube could use some brain power to fix that.


This has been going on for many years now, YouTube doesn't do anything about it.


Youtube simply doesn't care about their platform being used for scams. There are very simply very basic things they could do, but they simply don't.


They're quick to demonetize people though. Anything to make an extra buck.


Youtube is an incompetent organization. I've seen it take them nearly 48 hours to restore channels stolen by scammers to their rightful owners (all the while allowing the crypto scammers to continue streaming.)


Sorry, too busy selling ads.


Would be great if I could stream to my Chromecast or AppleTV from X without using airplay streaming my whole browser...


There used to be a Twitter AppleTV app and I recently saw an X app for TV platforms has been brought back, but I don’t know if the AppleTV version is out yet.

Of course I’d rather they just stream to YouTube in 4K.


There were multiple streams on youtube who rebroadcast that you can use.


Those are deep fake crypto scams that YouTube does not pull down. My father was scammed by one for over $2000.

The older we get, the likelihood that we get scammed approaches one. Be weary.


Youtube has a terrible problem with scammers. I don't know why they don't do anything about this.


And yet all MSM channels are the first thing u see when u query certain topics and people.

It’s intentional

Here. Or try Space Affairs on YouTube


There was an AI crypto scam channel. Musk is so scammy that it looked feasible and was shared widely by the looks.

Taking it off YouTube and not having their main YT account at least show a “redirect” video is strange.


They don't have a YT account. Are you talking about the "@musk-spacex" channel which stylizes itself "SpaceX"?


They used to have an official YouTube channel where the launches were broadcast. Now it's on Twitter.


Removing their YouTube account was part of the strangeness. Even if you own a social media company you really need the YouTube account to squat your brand and redirect


It's not about falling for the crypto scam, but realizing that it is that before you already lost half the launch

It's like a rite of passage, I imagine most people looking for a SpaceX launch fell for it once


I watched it on Twitter. Two idiots sent me the crypto scam link separately.
