Are these YT channels just mirroring the official one?

to be clear, it seems like the feed on some of these are scraped from official ones, but include links to crypto "giveaway" scams.

This NASASpaceflight stream is up now: https://www.youtube.com/live/3nM3vGdanpw

As is Tim Dodd’s

Aside from coding, this is my favorite use of multiple screens.

Yes they stop the stream at some point and the viewer must pay crypto to continue the stream.

There is pretty much always at least one "live" "spacex" stream on Youtube. Typically with lots of viewers. This has been going on for years.

Google/Alphabet just sucks and should be dissected.

It is incredibly to me that Google doesn't seem to give a shit about this. It would be so easy to fix.

Feels like one SpaceX could and should deal with by DMCAing the channels. Even if getting people watching their official channel instead isn't that important to them, stopping people rebroadcasting their content whilst faking their brand identity to scam people feels like the most legitimate reason for sending takedowns going...

Thank you, I was trying to convert Central Time to something understandable.

All their systems and logging are running in UTC, why can't they just give launch times accordingly.

Where do they get channels with half a million subs? Are those hacked?
