Yet another "brilliant" scheme from a cryptobro. Naturally this caused a gold-rush for scammers who outsourced random people via the gig economy to open PRs for this yml file (example)

Lol classic reply from the monkey pfp "I didn't know, I'm sorry, please don't ban me, sir". These fuckers know exactly what they're doing seeing from how they obfuscated the pr purpose, and act all ignorant when caught. It's exactly the same behaviour game cheaters exhibit when caught red handed
