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)
Actually, I only want to add one file, tea.yml, to your repository. Because I have a job that requires uploading the file and I also don't know what it is used for.
So you want me to merge a file you use on your job and you don't know what it does?
I see no issue. Merged!
That's insane
Also lol at the people getting mad at the tea maintainer for "name calling" the guy hired to write up the scam PR
Gig economy or not this idiot should have known better
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
Btw, "cryptobro" is a sexist term that excludes women.
We can start calling them "cryptoclowns".
The easy red flag here is YAML. It’s a hideous, overly-complex format for anything so of course a scam would choose it.
I've seen video ads claiming to show you a way towards passive income from other people's videos somehow. Now it's coming to open source projects...
