Was just watching YouTube stream on “SpaceX” channel and right at launch a QR code cryptocurrency scam replaced the SpaceX feed. Not sure who fucked up but I’m guessing the marketing folks at SpaceX lost control of their YouTube creds.

I think SpaceX is now only streaming on X.com, not YouTube. Perhaps you were watching a copycat channel.

The channel name was “SpaceX”. Are these not unique in YouTube? Can you add spaces or other hidden characters to the beginning or end of a channel name?

Nope, channel names are not unique. Channel IDs are, which show up in the url of the channel
