And not just that, in fact. This rabbit hole goes deeper and it gets way more fucked up from here.
While randomly looking this event out, I found a comment on YouTube saying that those lootbox gambling videos that recently came out are actually all staged. The Youtubers are not even doing any actual purchases on the website: the website reaches out to them and gives them pre-made videos of someone else opening lootboxes, to which said youtubers simply react to and pretend they are doing the actual thing, all to make it seem like they struck it rich with a few purchases to inflate the perceived rates for each product. The commenter knew all of this because he confessed that he did the same once due to being desperate for money, so he knows firsthand.
So, not only are they promoting gambling and scamming, but they are also being paid for it and participating in false advertisement.
I never even considered the chance that the boxes being sent to advertisers weren't rigged to win; but you're saying the youtubers doing the advertising never even get the dang boxes? That's… impressive. Not just evil and manipulative, but lazy as hell.
