I could have added more to show you but I think 2 is enough to ring the bell for those who didn't know already and of course to stop the newbies for falling into the trap.

Please be safe and keep your coins to yourself, just don't give it to those scammers. If one person sends a single satoshi then they are successful and their method is successful.

Sorry if it's already posted, I was not much active in this board and I have checked the first page only.

Yes, some topic are posted about youtube fake giveaways in scam accusation. One of them is https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5247684.0

It’s an another way of scamming people. And we should not believe a giveaway which is asking first to sent some asset in their wallet address to be eligible for that giveaway. There is a very chance to get trapped more people in this way. Because they are living and maybe paying first someone who sent some btc their address(provably one of their team member). People should think money is not so easy things. And this thinking can only decrease getting trapped ration in this case.

Edit:
Ops shit. In this live which address is used already received near 1.5 BTC already. And it continuously  receiving. https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/1Robert3HvZQZ57imk5oTTZFJDnmyzSfY

Wow! This is the smartest invention i have ever seen from scammers to scam people! How brilliant they are and I am thinking that how much time they spent to make it! I wish if they spend this talent and time on the good side then maybe they could shine!

I see such live videos on Youtube almost daily. And I agree, it's well made scam scheme. It's almost looks like real legit video. There is popular people talking in background about important topic. Design of video, channel logo, thumbnail and other stuff looks really professional and legit. There is just one red flag, usually there is just one video in the channel, while official channels usually is full of videos. But I doubt that many people check content of channel before watching such live video.
Usually such videos have huge number of viewers. Currently there is over 50k people watching this video. But I doubt that there is so many people actually watching this video. Probably most of these viewers are fake to creat solid image of video. But it's probably not that cheap to make so many fake viewers.
Best thing what we can do - report such videos. Though, it's not very effective and soon new video will popup.
