I posted a SpaceX live feed launch on my work Slack channel, pretty close to the end, and when it ended it redirected to one of those crypto scams and someone complained I posted a crypto scam on the channel.

To be fair to the person a lot of people open things in a tab and look at them later.

YouTube's default behavior when a stream ends is to redirect you to the first video (or stream) from the sidebar of suggested/related videos -- whatever that may be.

This is a pretty serious misfeature, IMO. But it is what it is.

Youtube wants to be like broadcast TV. TV is endless rather than deliberate.
