In recent days, several prominent Gaming YouTubers have found themselves at the wrong end of an NFT collection. A few days ago, a group of NFTs appeared on OpenSea, celebrating well-known content creators. The images contain a unique URL and a link to the YouTube channel address.
However, not all is as it seems. This is no collaboration. The user, StakeTheWeb, is making these NFTs without the permission of the Gaming YouTubers. In fact, some are incredibly lewd and controversial.
So far, the list of content creators in the NFT collection includes James Stephanie Sterling, Alanah Pearce and Caddicarus.
The YouTubers have been quick to denounce the collection, removing any doubt of collaboration.
“Shilling off a profile picture for a collection you can just make yourself on a Facebook photo album is honestly a new level of pathetic,” said Caddicarus.
Meanwhile, many believe this is the work of a bot, scraping profiles off Youtube and turning them into NFTs.
Furthermore, OpenSea have been quick to act. They removed a particular NFT from the collection that depicts one of the Gaming Youtubers Alanah Pearce, surrounded by a porn-related background.
Finally, OpenSea also released a statement condemning the plagiarism of the Gaming Youtuber NFTs, stating “One of our operating principles is to support creators and their audiences by deterring theft and plagiarism on our platform”. It is great to see OpenSea responding so quickly to these illegitimate types of NFTs.
