Baiting YouTube Users?

[DavidR]

This is a new one for me... I just got a message from some "chick" on YouTube telling me she liked my videos and wanted me to check out her profile on her "site". Her site just redirected me to Friendorama with something that looks like an affiliate id in the query string.

Anyone on WF do things like this on YouTube? Looks like it might be a pretty good way to push affiliate offers.

Youtube is getting spammed heavily these days..

This is one example of keyword stuffing (you have to click on 'more' on the description to see them) and it was viewed 30.000 times today.

I first received some youtube spam a few weeks ago, similar to the typical MySpace spam, "Hi, you seem cool, check out my other vids at somecamwhoresite.blah"

Same here waz. And there was something to do with a Britney up-skirt shot too, very similar to kr338r's spam. Sigh.

Sigh.

or... opportunity?
hehe of course not

 

[gillian]

Well I meant sigh as a user. Spam infiltrates everything and it's just shit. It doesn't make me happy at all.

Now I get the HOT BRAZILLIAN GIRLS and HOT BABES, like at least 2 everyday. Pissing me off now, but some guy on here or some other forum said he makes YouTube spammers
