If you bothered reading the very short article, it would be very clear that people are deliberately getting children subscribers than replacing the flow of new content with attempts to brainwash them or expose them to obscenity.

It’s not even that, it’s to shock them so they keep engaging with the channel, telling their friends, etc. which increases ad impressions until they are caught.

Then they create a new channel and start again.

This is Elsagate 2 but with more nefarious tactics.
