Fellow YouTube creators, don't fall for this scam! This is NOT an official YouTube email address. Always use YouTube studio to check for copyright issues! And for god's sake don't click ANY of these links unless you want to say goodbye to your channel forever 💀

The new update to the "content" tab on YouTube to show revenue per video is actually hilarious for people like me who make very very little from their videos (and only got monetized kinda recently) Yeah not to brag guys but this one made 6 whole cents 😎

A screenshot from the content tab in my YouTube studio that shows my video "3 cozy games to keep you sane in 2025" with 1,134 views and 61 comments and a whopping estimated revenue of $0.06.

Omg not another one 🤦‍♀️ My blocking finger is getting tired

A screenshot of an email that reads, "Richard Hughes emsarcade.

We don't do this often your channel earned it

Hello emsarcadebusiness,

Just on 2026-02-26 somewhere around 14:24 1 came across your channel and explored some of your newest pieces.

Something about your channel caught my attention right away.

The way you present things feels intentional, and that level of care adds up.

It's the kind of work that builds something real."

Why does every scam email I get for my old youtube channel suddenly give me the exact time down to the minute they "found" my channel, like why is this the new script they're all running

A screenshot from a scam email pretending to be a legitimate business saying "Hi emsarcadebusiness, On 2026-02-26 around 20:13 I ran into your channel and spent a bit reviewing your recent uploads" which is hilarious in itself because my old YouTube channel was abandoned, there are no recent uploads

Another one that says "Hi emsarcadebusiness,

On 2026-02-24 around 21:47 I ran into your channel and went through your recent uploads."

Another one that says, "Hi emsarcadebusiness,

On 2026-02-23 around 18:01 I came across your channel and went through several of your latest uploads."

A final email that says, "I recently came across your channel on 2026-02-23 around 07:43 and ended up spending some time watching your recent uploads. I really liked the overall tone of your content - it feels authentic." This one was actually buried further in the body of the email so I almost missed it, you silly lil scammer

My hair is curled in a vintage style and I have fake lashes on, wearing large gold hoops. I'm pouting at the camera.

Wall of text but important, stay safe!! ❤️

A screenshot of a discord message which reads: "Yet another content creator was outed as a predator so I want to say again if you're a minor please please do NOT ever reveal your age online and stay safe. If you've found yourself engaging in parasocial activities (no judgement, it can happen for any number of reasons and is very common in this era of the internet), I encourage you to take a step back from whoever the creator is and reevaluate what kind of information you've shared with them/their community. Yes, even me!

I will always try to make this community a positive and safe space but at the end of the day none of you personally know me so you should always be cautious. And I'm sure plenty of predators have used that exact language that I just used too ("positive, safe space"). I myself have been shocked by people I thought were friends or friends of friends being outed as predators. It's sadly very very common in online spaces and especially with content creators because of the connection with their communities and access to the young people within them.

So once again, if you're underage, NEVER post your age online! And take a step back if you've noticed a creator getting a little too close for comfort. You never know their intentions. Stay safe out there folks ❤️"

A screenshot from the game Fireside Feelings of a cat and a bee sitting at a campfire in the woods at night. The bee has speech bubbles above her head that say "I think my childhood dreams occasionally remind me to really live my life to the fullest. My childhood self always wanted to make cool stuff, and I got to make a video game with a YouTuber during my university days. My childhood self also dreamed she would break free from her cage and live away in a city in nature. In a way, surprisingly, I ended up doing exactly just that."
