Patrick Shyu (TechLead), a former Google/Meta tech lead, admitted to falsely using DMCA takedowns to remove critical videos. His Million Token has plummeted over 99% from its 2021 peak, while his YouTube channel suffers heavy view losses.

据CryptoComLearn报道,以“前谷歌、前Meta技术主管”身份在YouTube上走红的Patrick Shyu(化名TechLead)近日承认,他一直在利用虚假的版权侵权声明,删除任何批评自己行为的视频。这一行为被加密调查记者Coffeezilla等同行广泛曝光。

滥用DMCA系统并非首次

Shyu曾通过谎称项目“自举启动”的方式发行加密货币Million Token,并在获利后迅速淡出。三年前,Coffeezilla揭露了其骗局,导致Shyu声誉受损。然而,这并未阻止他继续发布内容。过去几年,他发布了大量悲观视频,如《为什么编程已死》、《AGI已实现,游戏结束》等,甚至多次声称“退出科技界”或“退出YouTube”,但均未兑现。

值得注意的是,这并非Shyu首次试图删除曝光视频。他在一条现已删除的视频中亲口承认:“我倾向于对任何曝光视频发起版权申诉,因为我想知道背后是谁。”早在Coffeezilla报道Million Token骗局时,Shyu就曾以种族歧视等理由攻击对方,并试图人肉搜索和群发版权投诉给所有转载该话题的创作者。

YouTube频道遭遇重创

尽管Shyu已删除承认滥用DMCA的视频,但社交数据分析平台SocialBlade显示,他在过去几天内删除数十条视频,由此损失数百万播放量,频道评级从B-骤降至D-。YouTube官方回应Protos问询时表示:“虚假声明及滥用移除请求可能导致封号或其他法律后果。”但目前尚不清楚YouTube是否会采取行动。

与此同时,Shyu发起的Million Token项目自2021年7月历史高点以来已暴跌超过99%,几乎归零。该代币目前几乎失去所有流动性,社区早已消散。市场分析人士指出,此类创始人有不良历史记录的项目往往难以获得长期信任,代币价格归零是必然结局。

这次事件再次揭示加密行业KOL与创始人滥用权利、损害投资者利益的现象。利用技术身份背书进行短期套利,再通过平台规则压制批评声音,已成为部分网红逃避问责的典型手段。然而,随着社区和监管机构的关注增加,类似的“版权武器化”行为终将面临更严格的审查。
