Hi gamers I just pulled an all nighter and uploaded this last second. You unfortunately have to deal with the crap 360p until RU-vid processes the 1080p 60fps. I am dead inside please subscribe I love you
They've broken just about every discord tos rule yet discord still treats them like an angel. They care about nothing but money. Edit: why the fuck does this have 5.7k likes
Greed is an evil thing. If they’d have just stayed in their lane and continued being one of the top Discord bots they could’ve continued raking in a continuous stream of money. What a shame.
I got banned by just talking to another user about it. Never disrespected the mods or anything, just talking about what could happen with a lawsuit against Discord and anyone affiliated with Mee6's company. And I got banned for "making a fuss in chat". I work in the legal field, and it really seems like they're just silencing us.
@Hayden Spencer what u did was professional and concerning, imagine ppl banned u for exposing mee6's scamming schemes, these people are in denial thinkin your making assumptions 😬💀
I have no problem with nfts as a concept Verifiable ownership in the digital space is a useful thing. But these scams are just so damn obvious I don't get how people fall for it these collectibles are just stupid. At least the actual artists are getting a lot more for their art as nfts.
Like the uk cares. There are "buisness owners" listed in the house of commerce with the name "XXX Stalin of Russia" "Mr XXXXXXYYY" and a whole lot of "buisness owners" whos birthday lays in the FUTURE. They havent been born, yet they own multimillion pound buisnesses. UK is the new tax heaven
with all these NFT scams happening month after month for actual years now, you'd think people wouldn't be dumb enough to invest in dumb shit, especially from an already suspicious group. Makes me think the people falling for these scams shouldn't get any sympathy
My sympathy for victims of NFT scams diminishes by the day. Every single time, the same thing happens! And even when the project is legit, the price collapses after the fad dies out because they're assets with no real value! The best hopes of NFT gamblers is that they will manage to trick a bigger fool into buying their tokens before that happens. They're either too gullible or scammers themselves.
A lot of 'problems' they were trying to solve with NFT (proof of ownership) just did not work. It really didn't help that anyone could claim whatever they want then advertise their self created NFT.
The first couple NFT scams I felt bad for, they were promised a lot and I can KINDA see how they fell for it (I wouldn't but I can see how others would). But now that there's been so many of these scams outted publicly, it is 100% the fault of the investors, if you aren't doing your research before investing in a project like this, then you can't blame anyone else. You wouldn't trust a random person irl trying to sell you a project like this, so why trust random people online. You like the discord bot, cool, I love the Wendy's Baconator, I'm not gunna invest in a project just cause they slap Baconator on the name though.
Listening to these scammers explain how buying a jpeg will make money appear from thin air and land in your bank account makes me so angry. This shit needs to be criminalized, and MEE6 needs to be shut down.
Because they really are worthless hah, I can literally just screenshot it and use it as a pfp and there's absolutely nothing anyone can do about it ( not that I would use garbage as my pfp )
you know what im surprised about with the nft hack thing? im surprised the owners didnt say "when you buy an nft you own it, and its your responsibility, so if YOU lost it, then it's YOUR fault."
Full offense but if somebody is still into NFTs and trusts people who make a discord bot to not scam the shit out of them, then they probably deserve to get scammed.
Honestly, when all this settles down and Mee6 is (hopefully) shut down and the founders (hopefully) held criminally liable for all the shit they've done, it'll be funny to look back and see all the times when they could have - and should have - been stopped by Discord cracking down on their TOS violations. On some level, we owe Discord a thank-you for allowing these idiots to keep going and run themselves into trouble with a community of people with more money than sense, meaning they're almost guaranteed to be sued.
they didnt break any laws they ran an obvious nft cash grab and people were stupid enough to buy it, probably just realized how irrelevant discord is getting
Okay, when are we going to start taking action against Mee6 on our own as a community? Discord won't fix this issue, so it leaves us no choice other than to do whatever we can within reason to get Mee6 off the platform.
4:23 A Dutch auction will typically have a cheaper price than an English action (a normal auction) and exploits FOMO less. With an English auction you can get into bidding wars where people who don't want to miss out keep bidding higher and higher. With a Dutch auction you find the lowest price that everyone is willing to pay in order for you to sell out without anyone else at that price point. There is no extra bidding to drive the price up.
I mean yeah, it isn't a usual bidding war but either way it builds fear of others getting what you want. With a Dutch auction, it sounds like you have zero idea whether somebody will actually "outbid" you (in the sense of paying a higher price than you would), thus leading to more risky decisions because you have less information and might want to make absolutely sure nobody takes you off guard by buying it before you can. Correct me if i'm wrong though.
@@somekinnn Bidding wars increase your spending by only a little at a time, making it easy to accidentally spend hundreds of dollars more than you wanted to because it happened in little steps of 10. Dutch auctions are still fallible, but definitely less so than English ones.
They really pulled the "Everybody criticizing us are haters that were never actually affected just trying to get mad at something" card, they could not care less about being subtle.
"We want to make sure everyone can get on board" is such a bad excuse because the whole point of limiting supply is so that there's more people who want it than can get it.
Technically, the thing with the NFT sale being over for good and then coming back a week later breaks the law in a few areas. Australia in particular comes to mind, with the ACCC rules for advertising specifically highlighting this.
(11:00) Why are they not using the Hammertime function in Discord? This will format the date and time not only according to the user's locale (so 12 or 24 hour time) but also adapts to the user's timezone. If you type "2pm EST" manually, you have both failed to provide a high quality message, but also "EST" is such a vague term.
Thank you for bringing this to the attention of so many discord users. I know its not much but I will be switching from Mee6 to Polaris. And I will urge others to do the same.
I tried adding mee6 on my server for free just to do a handfull of tasks. It's composed of basically 95% paid stuff, and not cheap either, it's so bad it made me turn around and go developing my own bot cuz fuck it, I know js I can learn discord js and do whatever I desire with my own custom bot.
What I want to know is what they were even promising with their nfts. They couldn't be trying to sell nfts based exclusively on their name as a discord bot right? Right?
I am not a lawyer but I do have some understanding of the law and I strongly believe this will involve legal matters. Also thank you for doing this video since I posted it on my Twitter and I'm sharing it with some of my friends to get the word out to them. I don't use this MEE6 because frankly I never really trusted them and from what I have read they're not as good as they claim to be. But I do know others who I've been on their discord do use it and they should really reconsider using them at all.
as a guy who doesn't know any vulnerabilities ceronero knows, the only way I can see MEE6 getting tokens is through scam links when you see any trusted bot get hacked, you dont get your token stolen, you get DMd a scam link
@@TheBloxxedSanarcati the "/sarcasm" is necessary for the NFT people that will likely be present in these comments, considering the topic of the video.
I will definitely be looking at what functions I have Meee6 set up to do, and see what I will have to do to migrate these functions to another bot. If I knew the Meee6 leadership was this corrupt, I would have ditched the bot a long time ago.
I don't understand why people think NFT = scam. NFTs are investment. Usually a bad one, but investment nonetheless. Wishing anyone who invests into something to get scammed is not a good thing.
The ones that don't fail didn't oversell what people would get, and often has everything built before the sale meaning benefits were automatically found. Ens for example is nfts that act as routing ids to make easier to use addresses. Some are purely for art, I know some were made by artists and they would give holders early insight into what they were working on etc. But the reason you don't hear about em all as much is because they don't go extreme hype like the scams the scams are designed to get attention. That's why ive gone by the general rule "if everyone is talking about it its probably not that great" of course there's exceptions like ens but you get the idea.
circa 18:01 who tf keeps security-related permissions on their everyday account? If you have an account with that sort of access to Discord's biggest bot, it would be the most basic security practice to keep that account safe, def. not keeping these privileges on your known main account.
They really said "we didn't get hacked, we got socially engineered." Yeah man. That's called getting hacked. Weakest link is always the person, and the crypto/web3 space is uniquely susceptible to it because of their misplaced belief that the technical security alone fixes all of their problems as opposed to just moving them around.
They basically screwed up a bunch of things, didn't have a coherent plan, sold an ERC-1155 (more like a token) instead of a ERC-721 (serialized) where the 721 would be later airdropped. I think they canned this partway through or something because they realized the gas costs for airdropping that many 721s would've eaten away at their revenue quite a lot lol. There was a slight bug that allowed anyone to "mint for free", but they would receive no NFT, despite it _looking_ like they had received one, which a bunch of people freaked out about. Then there was something else that happened (maybe not NFT related? I can't remember now.) where they lied about something that happened, some security flaw or whatever & blamed others then later admitted it was their fault lol.
What’s really sad is 3 million probably isn’t enough to secure financial stability for all the people that worked on the scam (inflation, taxes, bills, etc), so it was completely pointless.
what was the engagement in the community like in their discord and on team related posts on socials like before the mint? there’s no way only ~600 unique wallets were actually interested (minted an nft) and the relative lower levels of engagement weren’t picked up on by multiple people
They only burned the rest of the supply because a bunch of people were screaming about it to ensure value stays high or whatever for those that purchased.
lmao yes I did a double take at that. 'it wasn't a hack, it was social engineering' that falls under the umbrella of hacks. it's a hack. not all hacks are done with code and in fact social engineering is an easier method of hacking than most others because despite what most people would claim, most people are actually quite trusting of strangers on the internet
Honestly in my opinion mee6 cannot really be trusted anymore seeing as this is ANOTHER flaw thanks for this NTTS you truly are the coffeezilla of Discord!
i started work on a bot in 2018 and all the way back then i hated mee6. something about it. maybe it was useless levels, that do nothing other than pester you that a number went up in mee6's database, maybe it was simply how overused mee6 is. idk whatever it was i guess my suspicions were accurate. not only is the bot garbage but the devs are lying scammers too
Mee6 is doing the closest edge to a FTC audit in the past 3 years. I think they are probably under some form of investigation already considering the shadiness and illicit activity they are demonstrating. I really hate interacting with mee6 in any server, there is no saving them. Just switch to Dyno, it is the next best bot in my opinion.
Imagine buying into NFTs who need to delineate between the different levels of rug-pulling. If you 'invested' in NFTs you have literally devalued yourself as a human being.
Its even scummier when you realize Mee6 isnt even theirs. They named it off a stupid one-off Rick and Morty character. And in the beginning, they used that character. So its not like its even their OC, because it isnt. Selling NFTs is bad enough, selling NFT's of someone else's character, is worse.
I've been looking into making an alternative service for a little while, but I've been really busy with work. It's still something I'm working on though. I'm not trying to advertise, but if anyone wants to help more hands are needed.
Why even buy NFT of a pixel art? I sincerely can't wrap my head around falling for this scam. Go look for an artist you like, commission them to do fanart of your fave character. It'll be significantly cheaper than a nft, you will own the final product and it'll be according to your taste
The bug that could've caused you to spend $1500 is slightly incorrect. This bug happens if the transaction that will be sent has an error & will be reverted so usually you are warned that the transaction will fail & it will set the gas cost super high to deter you. I don't know why it does that instead of having like an extra confirmation thing, but yeah. Probably the main reason no had this happen, as you said, was because anyone who noticed that high cost would've also noticed the error message saying "WARNING: [ERROR OF SOME KIND] TRANSACTION LIKELY TO FAIL" or something.
Ah yes, I remember they locked the server :D Lol, they did that more than once, they did it once in the very beginning when it was first announced or something too.
