I mean I don't know if YouTube back stuff up or he maybe has his videos stored. I would imagine a channel that big you'd have some sort of redundancies in place, but goddamn.

If it can happen to him you got to wonder who else that can happen to. I don't know much about crypto scams, but that's crazy if spend years cultivating something and honestly just putting out wonderful and helpful videos, and then it's just gone.

Something like 6+ months ago, there was some other Youtube channel, that I occasionally watch, that got hacked the same way with crypto scams getting uploaded and such. I think all his videos got restored but don't know the process needed or how long it took. When you click his videos it just says they are private and not "does not exist," so hopefully it's as easy as making them public again once the account is unlocked and back under his control.

Is it just stuff that gets uploaded and linked in the comments or something? I'm assuming that might be what it is, like I said I honestly just don't know.

I really hope it gets sorted out though. One of my favorite channels, and he's just passionate about cooking, and like you said a wealth of knowledge.

I didn't see what exactly happened to the Chefs channel, but the one from last year had all his video's hidden or "deleted." Then new videos were uploaded that were premade and well produced "crypto investment" videos. They even had some live streams of investment subjects that was being streamed/cloned from a legit source, I think. I don't remember exactly how they scam or profit off these hacks though.

We talked a bit about it in a thread around here, at that time, but don't remember which thread or the exact time it happened.

Everything is built on sand now (and multiple layers of sand at that). If you really like something, archive it.
