Watch out for spam nonsense in the comments
Added 2025-06-27 12:17:31 +0000 UTCI get an email every time someone posts a comment on Patreon.
I've just had dozens showing that a new Patreon user who called himself Techmoan CREATOR has replied to Patreon comments suggesting there's a giveaway and people should use Telegram to claim it.
I'm sure everyone here knows that I don't do giveaways and I don't use Telegram.
I've blocked the user but I think the comments remain. I'm going to try and delete them all, but it'll take me a few minutes.
Isn't spam great.

If we trust these scammers, every people with at least a beginning of popularity is giving away all they have (no offense on Matt here, he’s got a popularity that I can only dream of). Seriously, it’s the unwanted son of the mail « I’m a Saudi Arabia prince, my money for hundreds of millions is stuck in the bank, but if you just give 5000 dollars, I will give you half of these millions. » These scammers are really slowly evolving. The bright side of this is that normal people seems to evolve faster than these. One point for humanity. And Telegram, come on, you didn’t find something less awkward to try robbing people?

2025-06-27 19:45:28 +0000 UTCI have dealt with this time and time again on my own channel. It's annoying. And to make matters worse I just discovered today that I apparently have a prospering channel on Tik Tok..... even though I never created an account there.
