It’s probably Blizzard employees boosting to increase token sales.

Lol, I think I’ve seen something along these lines before on there.

probably account pilot. i’m surprised youtube allows ads like that to run on their platform.

they’ll dismantle your channel for having 3 seconds of copyright music playing in the background of a public event, but selling shady services that violate the terms of service of another company are okay.

News to me but apparently it has been happening for a while.

Well violating copyright will land you in court
Violating ToS will land you nowhere but your computer chair lol.

i found it, it was leperstore or something, they have a lot of thumbs downs on their videos lol

I don’t see a lot of those youtube adds because I typically use a browser that blocks them. But I did see one for a private server the other day, which was a little surprising.

I know of a simple way to avoid that.

that could come in handy since i hate youtube commercials…

but i’m not really annoyed at seeing them advertise like that, i’m just surprised it’s that in your face now…

like i thought the top 10 lines of any given LFG listing was bad…things are gonna get real bad (said in mueh’zala’s voice)

Blizz needs to soft ban boosts imo,
as in it’s not strictly forbidden but advertising them in trade will get you muted. They’re honestly ruining the game, especially PvP boosts
