I think the original comment was being sarcastic. But I am legitimately not shocked. Anything advertised to that extent is practically guaranteed to be a scam. If it comes out of a YouTubers mouth in an integrated ad, avoid it - fucking scumfucks all of them who keep taking that money after it's clear that this is the pattern. Literally lying to people's faces then act all shocked after the blowback happens.
"I've been using X for years even before they were a sponsor". What an affront to humanity such lies have become so common and "just business" - "just getting that bag". I'm baffled anyone believes this hollow, debasing bullshit anymore.
Once Paypal started pushing it via dark patterns, I knew I was meant to be the product.
