From some Yt channel with the vanilla pfp...totally trustable source


Kaemonarch

Someone is going to need to do something really soon... Youtube (and all online platforms) are slowly becoming everyone's spam folders... So much fake/predatory/scammy/IA content...


Da_reason_Macron_won

The simple method we had before was looking at the dislike bar. So of course YouTube had to kill that.


Photon_dragoon

Yeah and I think the worst part is that on 90% of terrible videos the comments tell it all - so why even bother removing it????


active-tumourtroll1

Because people can delete comments so they can curate that to their liking.


Controller_Maniac

Comments disabled šŸ—æ


Mighty_Cannon

Comments being disabled lmao


FrauHoll3

Views to likes ratio is what I do.


_Bisky

>Youtube (and all online platforms) are slowly becoming everyone's spam folders... So much fake/predatory/scammy/IA content... Slowly??? They have been since years now. Remember all those sexbots in the comments? People puttings ads to advertise scam whatsapp/telegram groups to "make you rich"


The_DarkPhoenix

Now they are AI powered. Iā€™ve been saying since the start of all the AI talk that regulations should have BEEN put in place before it was introduced. No idea why they need bad things to happen before doing something about this stuff. ā€œAn oz. of ā€˜Preventionā€™ is worth a lb. of ā€˜Cureā€™ā€


_Bisky

>Now they are AI powered. Iā€™ve been saying since the start of all the AI talk that regulations should have BEEN put in place before it was introduced. Before algorithms spammed it everywhere Like in terms of scam Youtube/social media in general has been horrible for several years now >No idea why they need bad things to happen before doing something about this stuff. ā€œAn oz. of ā€˜Preventionā€™ is worth a lb. of ā€˜Cureā€™ā€ Cause most politicians are old af and completly out of touch While for social media platforms any kind of impression/"user activity" is good (more ads. More active users)


The_DarkPhoenix

I canā€™t find the lie in anything you just said


WeeabooSempai

Back then, we laughed about the Dead Internet Theory...


Slap_My_Lasagna

And then Facebook came around, and Google bought YouTube.


Zansibart

Yeah someone did something, Elon made it easier for people to spam you because he hates that the truth makes him look as dumb as he is.


iEssence

Its why i use an adblocker, its straight up required. I get a movie trailer occasionally and i dont mind that tbh, but the other 7/10 are scams, and the last 2 are ads for games im already playing... But youtube be fighting them so.. At the very least... they can show me relevant ads... theyd find people less forced into adblockers if they actually moderated their ads a bit more, instead of just running it through a poor algorithm that does a bad job at it


FlameDragoon933

But haven't you heard the techbros? AI is our future! You're just a luddite! You're anti-progress! Shame on you! AI is the salvation for mankind! wheeeeeeeee /s


Mari_Say

AI can be a great tool if used correctly, but depending on how it is usually used... yeah, it sucks.


TheXoxx

Others: looking for signs of fake account. Me: getting anything more than 60 primos for free is obviously a scam.


Yabadababalaba

Also the fact that out of all the YouTubers they could've chosen, they chose the f2p one....


Uncaught_Hoe

Especially the only mf who should be getting praise for being f2p


UONLYWISH2011

I'm not gonna lie. It sounded very narcissistic when he had that tantrum about it and yelled that.


Sotarnicus

Because it was very narcissistic


Pickle_C137

What happened?


Alex_The_Hamster15

Donā€™t remind me šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


HerVengance

Wait can someone fill me inšŸ˜­


Nokia_00

Ahh you meant the mint


WalkingAtrocity

PREACH


Utvic99

One might even say the praised picker of mints


LEFTRIGHTADORI

Iā€™m the ONLY motherfucker who should be getting PRAISED for being F2P! Dear lord heā€™s such a damn loser lmao. It hurts to see.


CatForce

Envi is f2p? How do you know?


Yabadababalaba

That's literally his whole schtick lol


CatForce

I should have put /s thought it was too obvious, thatā€™s on me


TheGraySeed

Lmao this. Genshin Impact giving you enough primos to do a single roll? Yeah nah man, that shit is fake as fuck.


Testing_100

What about the 3x 100 primos and update primos?


Himanshu317

A scam by hoyo to lure in players for their updates


Testing_100

True true


Justcurious863

It works tho lol


Bioluminescent_Shrub

Those are for everyone, and automatically sent via the mail system. You donā€™t have to give in to a scammer or let someone sell your information to spam groups to get it, and itā€™s from the official sourceā€¦


akahr

Hoyoverse was training us all this time. How nice of them.


Vulpes_macrotis

I bet it's l instead of i in Impact. lmpact. The second one I wrote is with small L.


Reasonable_Sugar_125

The spacing around the letter youā€™re talking about does appear sus, honestly.


ConsistentRespect842

Fr genshin could never


Solrex

Yeah, those game awards split up into 4 in game mails that give 400 gems each for a total of a 10 pull? It's a scam don't claim it /s Maybe add the caveat anything outside the game that is more than 60 primos is obviously a scam.


SoC175

Joke's on them. As soon as the nigerian prince, who I am currently assisting in transfering his fortune out of the country to escape a coup, pays me my share, I'll be able to buy as many crystalls as I want directly from the ingame shop!!


rainy_reddit

How is he doing? He stopped writing me quite some time ago so I'm getting worried.


Intrif

He said if I help him and donate 200 euros he will pay me back ten fold. Has been 2 years by now but I still havenā€™t received my money. Am I good?


XxDashiexX

Hey its me! the Prince! I was busy preparing the money so i can send them to you, but i just need 200 more so i can finish the process. tysm!


FBI_1765

Yikes, umm I was there during the transaction. Not too good buddy tho keep dreaming


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


JoseMari117

We were talking about crystals, right? The ones you used to get buffed up people in game. Right?


ComfyElaina

All the crystals I know made people doing stupid irresponsible shit


Sufficient-Ad8825

The Nigerian prince has promised me 180 intertwine fates, If I'm able to help him in his work, assisting on a Microsoft customer service. Here's the confusing part, why is a prince working for Microsoft?


Solrex

Not sure, but I think they only hire people with a thick East Indian accent. You might not make the cut. If your accent isn't genuine enough you'll be trapped under the water, asking for help! /s


Sganagnana

I had the honour of being the 1000th upvote, can't hide the fact that it was extremely satisfying. Also, please let me know if I may assist with the Nigerian prince, I have taken the matter at heart


GenshinDainsleif

If i had just saw this post 26 minutes earlierā€¦


kunafa_aj

Way too generous to be real,very obviously a scam lol


RazorCalahan

300 primos would already be pushing it


paladinLight

300?! Na, 30 would be generous.


bumwine

It's not a scam in the sense that you're not going to lose any money yourself but you're unnecessarily giving this person free money. What you're doing is giving away your one chance to give someone a referral bonus that is tied to your device id. A person can get real money from Temu for so many people using their code.


Sesshou-Sakura

So it's a scam.


Bazookasajizo

My time is wasted. Time is money. In other words, this is clearly an Avenger-level scam


Bioluminescent_Shrub

Another one I did had me filling out surveys, and to this day Iā€™m still spammed from that. Itā€™s more worthwhile to just pay hoyo than to bother with sorting the scammers and the spammers from the legit free crumbs of primogemsā€¦


Aerie122

Ah yes, Hoyoverse molded our minds to prevent us from getting scammed and similar threats


didu173

The stumble guys as the background really sells it being real


Linoren

No yellow checkmark, and probably a small L instead of an actual i in that ā€œImpactā€. Very deceiving at first glance though.


ThePrismarinDark

This is video in youtube. You don't even need to create false account to montage some video.


CSDragon

I'll counter with: That is the real genshin account, but it's not a real tweet. The video is showing a screenshot of a tweet. The tweet never existed.


JureFlex

Its a small l, the break after it is too big for capital i


Squildo

I love Glenshin Implact


IIIokolade

Blalls


Gio_funny

Could also just be a photoshopped screenshot


grumd

Inspect element goes brrr


Kaiel1412

I've never heard or read anything positive whenever I see Temu


GirlMayXXXX

The quality of their items is way better than wish and they arrive quickly. Two positive things šŸ˜ø


Master0643

Low quality bait, and people will still fall for it.


HybridaDaHuman

The people are probably kids who is still very naive netting.


KamelYellow

That's not bait. Just a scam


devilboy1029

In the traditional (non chronically online sense) it is still bait.


KamelYellow

Even without knowing internet lingo, it still makes much more sense to call that a scam. Regardless, in tandem with "low quality" I'm pretty sure they didn't mean it like that


Shadzzo

There is a bigger chance of some random Nigerian prince sending me millions than Hoyo giving that much for free.


Nero_PR

Enjoy losing your account for falling to the fake white checkmark. This is such a trap for the children and the careless.


_Bisky

>Enjoy losing your account for falling to the fake white checkmark This scam actually can't get your account. (The entire step with linking your account simply doesn't exist on Temu) It's just a way for people to get others to enter ther refferale code on Temu to get "free stuff"


imtoofaced

I was wondering what the scam actually is, I see it everywhere with some other bait for people to bite.


_Bisky

Temu has a refferal "program", where you can get some free stuff (i think it can be both free items or gift cards/credit) when you get a lot of others to enter your refferal code in the search bar But the amount of people you nees to get to enter it is absurdly high. Means very few, even with tjose kinds of scams, get it For Temu itā€™s a lot of basically free advertising, while only taking a very small loss for the few products they send out (which also act as advertisement)


Addit_95

Is the Enviosity acccount fake too?


solarscopez

The fact you even have to ask means a bunch of people are about to get scammed lmao


DelfyDaun

I just assumed Enviosity fell for it tbh


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

The fun part is that posting this to the subreddit causes more damage. Tons of people here would not go to twitter for this game.


MSTFRMPS

Ye


Beast0011

Temu šŸ’€


Tamamo_was_here

I should be the only motherfucker getting praise


Nokia_00

He will never escape the legacy of praise


ZonTeeN

Bro can't catch a break


Nyllil

Funny thing is Envy is a f2p player xD


Peepeepoopooman7777

He should be the only motherfucker getting praise!


tetePT

Wdym? JuliaookC would never lie


caithmancer

This Temu thing it's starting to become like that Jesus IA stuff on Facebook, it's almost only spam and AI generated videos. Kinda strange how the theory of the death internet it's becoming something more and more real, scary in any case.


OfficerDSI

(Sigh) I legitimately downloaded Temu just the other day for the promo code thing. Little did I realize oh it was obviously a scam


MarioGirl369

*Loads shotgun* We lost another one, boys. Time to put this one down...


VritraReiRei

I'm guessing you tried it and either nothing happened or an error occurred? Cause you don't need to click on anything, input any personal information, nor download directly off an ad so I imagine at worst you signed up for an app you don't plan on using. --- For those that don't know "TEMU" is a Chinese owned shopping app. Everything there is dirt cheap but for a reason. Either bootleg, poor quality, or advertised incorrectly. It's like buying on Amazon or eBay but choosing *only* the Chinese owned sellers that have only 2 star reviews.


_Bisky

>For those that don't know "TEMU" is a Chinese owned shopping app. Everything there is dirt cheap but for a reason. Either bootleg, poor quality, or advertised incorrectly. It's like buying on Amazon or eBay but choosing *only* the Chinese owned sellers that have only 2 star reviews. Also you buy directly from the producers. Makes it even cheaper, but means you get fucked if there is trouble with shipping/import


GreyNinja17

It's from the official account Genshin Lmpact


Moonberry-42

*ā€trust me guys! I have the PFP of the official Genshin Impact! Iā€™m verified too! Iā€™m not a scam!ā€*


examexa

"If it is too good to be true, then it is likely a fake" especially in this case lol


Yashwant111

It's simple...don't watch shorts. They are the actual worst. Please YouTube make them togglable. Idc if u paywall it. I would pay money to turn off shorts.


Chaotic_Fantazy

If it was 20 crystals I would have believed it.


InternetStandard2240

A moment of silence to the fallen who fell for this. [...](https://youtu.be/M8AeV8Jbx6M?si=WRz-y3WD0E2VVOet)


rinkudamanrd

I only fall for nilou


RDT-Exotics0318

Never bet on Temu


dethocus

Even if it was real, Temu is data collection for china, the app tracks everything. Would not recommend having it on the phone at all


DeAvil87

You act like Google didn't collect your snoring noises while you're sleeping.


LookItsEric

i once had a verbal, face to face conversation with someone in which I happened to mention some *really* obscure product. I forgot what but it was something highly specific that you would basically never think of. Neither me nor the other person had our phones out and Iā€™ve never in my life looked this product up online. The next day I saw an ad for the exact thing. So yeah they literally listen to everything even when your phone is off.


gtotherundeh

lmao idc about that, theres no way in hell all my data isnt available to various mega corps anyway, im just not important enough for it to matter


raccoonjudas

right šŸ’€ my employer had a data breach last year and stolen data included shit like my fingerprints and SSN so i no longer care about china potentially stealing my data


77Dragonite77

Dude your SSN is absurdly important


DrKoala_

I think his point was that his Employer lost/got his most important data stolen (SSN). The data China can get from his game accounts is insignificant compared to that.


raccoonjudas

The data breach was so fucking ridiculous, they also leaked out our bank account numbers and full names and addresses and photocopies of our drivers licenses. And then they acted like they were the most generous people in the world because they gave us vouchers for one whole year of identity theft protection.


ArashiSora24

You do realize that Google, Microsoft and Facebook are doing the exact same thing, right?


haggerton

They don't care, because the most genocidal regime on Earth has sold to them that "America most moral nation on Earth, any rivals are automatically your enemy".


Jujubeetchh

China bad!!! šŸ˜  White people countries good šŸ˜Š


ichbindulol_

ur playing genshin, that app has the legal right to look at any file on your device while your running it


Substantial-Song-242

bro, using that logic, genshin is also "data collection" for china. all companies in china answer to the CCP


-Skaro-

nah temu is like actually suspicious, they're spending a lot of money on just trying to get as many people as possible to register and give their personal information. (including payment info and adress and such as it is a shopping app) I have never seen a company this aggressive about it.


NotTwitchy

Yeah, imagine if a shopping app gave you all sorts of goodies for cheap, like a reasonably priced subscription for 1-2 day shipping on most popular items, that also comes with a monthly sub to a twitch streamer of your choice, and a subscription to a streaming service with access to shows from popular franchises, that typically have a high bar of quality (rings of power notwithstanding) Oh wait, thatā€™s Amazon! Not saying Temu isnā€™t a little aggressive but ā€œget people hooked with great dealsā€ is not a new marketing strategy


Nhrwhl

Not only that but: > they're spending a lot of money on just trying to get as many people as possible to register and give their personal information. Thinking Temu is suspicious for that is the dumbest shit I've ever seen. They're simply trying to consolidate their market share amongst the titans as newcomers. They're using their absurd amount of initial investment money to do so and try to be as absurdly competitive as possible, once they're settled their marging price (and so the retail price) will go up. If this remind you of another company it's because **this is quite litterally what Uber (Car AND eat), RBnB and most modern start-ups did in the past or are doing now.** This is why those companies are a-ok with being unprofitable: it's all part of their plans. So much for having "never seen a company so aggressive about it". I don't trust China much, but it's not like US companies aren't doing worse in the open.


-Skaro-

That's amazon's premium plan and not how the platform operates at base. Temu is straight up giving free stuff if you register.


NotTwitchy

You mean like a free trial of prime?


-Skaro-

They are straight up allowing you to choose items for free that they send to you. Actual physical items. Not just discounts or something. And more free stuff if you get more people to join.


NotTwitchy

Six of one half a dozen of the other. Free stuff is free stuff, be it access to a service or some stuff they can write off as a loss leader.


Substantial-Song-242

isnt wish the same shit? and thats been out for years.


-Skaro-

wish feels like average dropshipping but temu is just so pushy and are just begging you to install by offering a fuck ton of free items and the amount of ads they pay for is actually absurd. I can't really say anything conclusive but the way they act makes me really not want to make an account.


Dangerous_Jacket_129

"enter code in the searchbar" How would anyone fall for this?Ā 


DoomedHeroXB

After you do this, don't forget to trade me your armor, I'll trim it for free.


itzmoepi

Ah yt allowing scam ads again. I hope no one falls for this, it is so easy to fabricate a fake tweet in like 5 minutes of photoshop.Ā 


PavkataXD1

I saw an almost identical one, only difference being it was for 50 summons and was from a different user. First reaction was to check the official twitter, and as was expected, there was nothing of this sort. Most defenately a scam


Tevin1996

Damn they're still running that nonsense. They've been doing that scam since before clash of clans started in 2012


Impossible-Ice129

If people fall for this, they deserved it


x_astriddd

Exactly like arenā€™t these temu codes common knowledge now.. if anything is too good to be true donā€™t do it plus you should click on the profiles to see if theyā€™re real. Very obvious scam


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


I_love_my_life80

Dicktone viewer spotted..


multificionado

I think I can see why: The first step being to download the app Temu. Given what went on with Helldivers 2 (before Sony stopped themselves), your leeriness of this offer is understandable.


PhilledZone

You already know if they teamed with Temu there would be a lot of hate am that they probably wouldn't want


JingZama

if you fall for it you deserve it


Sufficient-Fig-2497

We must look out for eachother


Nizikai

Even if it was real, I still doubt that many would fall for that, TEMU sells all your Data if it wants to. Even access to your credit Card. Yes, there have been cases where that happened


Minerva_vic

Just have common sense and you should be fine


AlkaliPineapple

Yep. The Genshin account has "official" and "EN" on it IIRC And twitter brand icons are yellow.


ohaiibuzzle

I love how much affiliate marketing can turn normal functioning human beings into, well, that


KibbloMkII

I mean, it's Temu, it's automatically a scam.

I found a few last night and reported them. They got removed within a few hours


Napoleonex

Lol temu who actually trusts them


AlphariousFox

remember folks if its too good to be true its probably not true


Horizonstars

How stingy hoyoverse is with their own anniversary 13 pulls and only 20 when people complained by the first one. I would only believe it when it's only one free pull.


Mybumisonyourlips69

Thereā€™s so many scams nowadays idk why literally every 4th video is valorant free skin or something else


ImaginaryMetal2530

I get that this is probs fake but was this actually posted by genshin? Or am i just dumb


Nxbgamergurl

TEMU?? Yeah, donā€™t fall for that shi\*\*y app, my sister tried to get free stuff off of it, but before you know it, itā€™ll keep asking you to invite more new people.


Mynoodles_mostmoist

The fact that its mf Temu of all companies?? As greedy as they can sometimes act I think Hoyo would rather die than Greenlit any Sort of sponsorship that isn't full of Green flags. And I'm pretty sure Temu was outed for being a Scam.


coffee_ape

If youā€™re dumb enough to fall for an obvious scam, you deserve it, but take it as a learning opportunity so that you donā€™t get tricked a second time.


TyrifficAdventure

Did they photoshop the image, or are they use some look-alike letters or characters to create an nearly-identical account name to the official MiHoYo one?


Karuro

That was that pyramid scheme thing, right?


ultraplusstretch

Temu: get scammed like a billionaire.


SplinterStorm360

I wanna know what happened to the ones who fell for it


Direk_Carla

Google Play Store purchases are my best bet of buying primogems~ next is Codashop when I give out prizes except BattlePass.


EnvironmentalDot9026

what even is the scam


Anamethatisname

Why would you get twitter news from YouTube


LiIIium

Nah this only works against stupid people, and if they are stupid they need to learn from their own mistakes otherwise they would be stupid for the rest of their lives


International_Cod733

if anyone falls for that they deserve it


Kirei13

Thank you for the PSA.

I recommend people to listen to podcast about cybersecurity and youā€™ll be awestruck by how easy it is to be manipulated these days


tonaflask

Thanks Elon Musk, for make easier scam people.


TheRedditUser_122

Oh I saw that one on YouTube lmao, what a coincidence. Seems like someone in the comments fell for it tho


Ineedsleep444

Who actually thinks these are real


Psydameous_Sharm

I knew it was too good to be true


OfficialAlarkiusJay

Dear Hoyoverse, This is the worst you can do. Teaming up with Temu? Are you crazy? Do you know how many scams you are going to cause? Primogems my ass. Temu my ass. We don't want your temugems. Temu is not even that safe. - signed, some user. But really, Temu is not the best thing to redeem codes. Perhaps you're targeting your Chinese audience and playerbase, which may be fine, but with half of the world playing in the USA or EU/RU, it may not be the best considering Micro-transactions on a third party chinese app, even though you yourself is a Chinese company. I don't remember if Temu is even part of the CCP

Honestly getting scammed like this on a game is how you learn to see real life scams. So do it. Just for the experience šŸ˜‰


bugs101Z

We wouldnt fall for that. Genshin could never

Why's everyone acting like they've never heard of the chinese communist party and how all the money you're spending is literally going to them


ambulance-kun

But... But... The cute slime thingy said so!


Lincoln1861

I checked comments on similar vid, someone asked "is it real?" Lmao, the amount of stupidity some people can have to even doubt that something like this can be real, is killing me


KingMalon12

The single best thing to do to find out about these scams is just to think of it's too good to be true because most of the time it's not true


Danksigh

No one with a functional brain would fall for this

if it just mentions temu just dip man
