On Saturday night I stumbled upon a YouTube channel that made me think, “How can someone be so cool?” It features someone who is not only incredibly talented but also has enermous skills for finding bugs in Google/YouTube (and also showing proficency in Kali Linux). All of them could be used to exploit the platform, but he uses them to report them responsibly and get a ridiculous small bounty for it, considering that it comes from god Google. 5k dolars for a bug that in the wrong hands it could be used to cause a lot of damage and all the potential this sensible data could have. Ridiculous.
While i was typing this, I went back to the channel to get the link and I found out that he has been banned from YouTube. Mr.Google, once again. Tough times.
I took a screenshot while I was watching the video on Saturday so I could write this post, luckily I did it before he got banned.
I also was very late to find out that there was another wizardry trick that I did not notice: the hacker had also exlpoited YouTube recommendations (the right column where you get recommended videos while you are watching one). Notice how this person did something to only get recommended his own videos, and not the ones from any other channel. Lol. Boss level to the max. People in the comment section were TRIPPING! I have never seen anything like this. Probably a good reason to get banned though. Google, hire this person. NOW!
Hopefully he/she is coming back soon.
