Hello, friends
As you can look by yourselves in my stats, I am a chess-nobody. I just love the game, play it the best I can, and, of course, through my 2 years journey trying to improve, I seen a lot of videos by the YT chess comunity, Danya included (of course, Gotham, Hikaru, Ben Finegold etc. too).
Since the tragic events we all know about, I have noticed a trend on YT: totally chess-unrelated channels have been posting about Danya and the Vlad_Kram thing. After clicking on some 2 or 3 videos, I realized they are all AI generated, and the channel doesn't give a d4mn about chess, and less about our beloved Danya. They are only making a profit. Whenever a "recommendation" of a video like that shows up in my feed, I click on the three vertical points and mark "do not recommend channel". I encourage you to do the same, in an effort to stop this disgusting trend. Unfortunately, I only had the idea to write down the names of such channels today. So, I can give you only one name: "Star Highlights".
Since I am nobody, there is no point recording a video by myself. What I would ask of whomever reads this post is to spread this message. And also, if someone out there has direct contact with any of the great chess creators on YT, let them know about this problem, and transform this message in a video.
Thank you so much,
Benny Blanco from The Bronx.
