I find those youtube channels far too grifty for my tastes. Sadly as twitter doesn't seem to work ("Something went wrong. Try reloading.") I have lost quite a lot of the excitement I used to have for spacex.

I was just watching Spacex official stream and at ignition they switched to Musk hawking cryptocurrency. What just happened??

edit: wild I just realized take off is 50 minutes from now... what had I been watching?? they did a countdown and there was ignition... was that a time wrap? Am I going insane?

edit2: @spacex034 is not @spacex... today I learned...

SpaceX does not stream on YouTube, you are watching an old launch on a fake channel. Please report them.
