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...

There's a fake SpaceX YouTube account that looks official because they included videos from the real channel in playlists to get verification ticks & have managed to harvest thousands of subscribers. YT's interface is a bit dumb for including the verification ticks in that use-case.

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

Thanks, I like the Spaceflight Now commentary the most. Best analysis.

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've been listening to SFN for about 20 minutes now and haven't heard a single reference to donations. Like parent, they're my preferred feed.

If you can get SpaceX's twitter to work, you can use them for audio. If so, EverydayAstronaut will likely have the best video.

What’s grifty about nasa space flight? They’re a private news org that does incredible coverage of SpaceX and spends funds doing as such. They’re mostly donation driven but they don’t solicit them really. They just thank folks that do on their livestream. Their forums are an absolute goldmine of knowledge if you take a look and it is an incredibly friendly community.

Is that new? Because SpaceX has streamed launches on YouTube for years.

Yes, the official stream is only on Twitter now.
