Twitter spam bot helps fake David Dobrik YouTube channel hit 90k subs YouTube: David DobrikHigh-profile creators are being targeted by Twitter bots promoting a \u201cfan-made\u201d YouTube channel posting David Dobrik\u2019s live streams \u2014 and somehow it\u2019s working. In August David Dobrik did his first-ever live stream on Twitch playing Warzone, and gave away $1,000 every time he won a game. Understandably, people were ecstatic that this huge internet personality had entered the streaming world, especially playing with people such as Florida Mutineers\u2019 Cesar \u2018Skyz\u2019 Bueno. YouTube channels posting highlights from his streams were a natural progression and include the channel in question called \u201cDavid Dobrik Live Streams.\u201d It already has 93,600 followers, with the first video being posted on August 30. But it seems as though the reason behind a large number of subscribers in such a short space of time is down to the sheer number of bots terrorizing Twitter users asking them to watch, with several high-profile creators getting the brunt of it. Bots on Twitter have become a consistent problem. In April 2020, the platform removed 20,000 fake accounts, while back in 2018 it reportedly removed 70 million fake accounts. While Twitter is working on a system to identify the bots, fake accounts can still be created and used to spread misinformation. CDL player Clayster tweeted, \u201cWho is the one person who keeps making five thousand accounts to tweet me his David Dobrik playing Warzone videos? I must know, you need help. I\u2019ve had to block at least 50+ accounts.\u201d WHO IS THE ONE PERSON WHO KEEPS MAKING FIVE THOUSAND ACCOUNTS TO TWEET ME HIS DAVID DOBRIK PLAYING WARZONE VIDEOS? I MUST KNOW, YOU NEED HELP. I’VE HAD TO BLOCK AT LEAST 50+ ACCOUNTS \u2014 Clayster (@Clayster) December 15, 2020 Other famous faces agreed and said they had also been targeted. Crimsix wrote, \u201cWait, wtf same,\u201d while YouTuber Casey Neistat wrote called it \u201ca particularly aggressive bot.\u201d Other targeted influencers who claimed to victims of the relentless account included FaZe Simp, Drift0r, and musician Jordan Wright. The about section of the channel confirms that it\u2019s not linked to the YouTuber himself, with the note: \u201cI try to upload daily videos from David Dobrik\u2019s live stream if he is currently streaming. This is a fan channel and not David\u2019s.\u201d Dexerto has reached out to David Dobrik\u2019s team for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
