This is a prerecorded loop. Seems sus.

Yeah. I didn't realize when I posted it, but YouTube seems to be up to some fuckery pretending that things are "LIVE" when they are not. Presumably because people will be more engaged if they are being lied to about what it is that they're watching. Worked on me.

Think of "live" on youtube same as some radio station. It is just broadcasting something, could be someone talking or could be prerecorded song. Aome people use it for live podcasts and streams, some use it as radio stations to play songs, and some use it like this, 24h news channels.

Couple years ago these "live" streams were used for Crypto scams
