The wild part is this is structural, not platform-specific. The internet was built without a way to verify who anyone is — so impersonation isn't a bug platforms can patch, it's the architecture. "Report spam" is the only tool because there's no foundation layer beneath it. The fix isn't theoretical. Glad to share if anyone's curious.
PSA: if u are in the comments of one of my videos and an account replies to u w my profile photo and name with one letter off or added, that is NOT ME. It’s not any account affiliated w me, that’s a scammer who will try to steal ur money or sell u crypto. Please report it!!
