I'm never removing SponsorBlock until YouTube cracks down on scams being promoted by big yotubers.

So, never.

Are you watching vids of youtubers who promote scams?

So many yt'ers promoted honey, that weird Scottish land certificate thing and betterhelp. I would argue all of those are basically scams.

The Scottish thing is a scam because they aren't even legally allowed to sell souvenir plots of land. Like obviously nobody in their right mind thinks it makes you a Lord or Lady, but they don't even sell you the land!!!

Oh yeah true I saw a few of those from mainstream people...

Honey and that one thing that said "oh you can be a Lord if you buy some land in scotland", among suspicious VPNs and other "problem solvers".

If they pay to be spoken off, odds are it's worth your money.
