This guy (possibly multiple people?) has been around for a while on Youtube, they actively claim be a real alt of Vedal, not just someone who scored the name. They've been getting really active lately making false claims on everything from V3 voice to training data. Please report them.
#Vedal Impersonator Making Claims About Development

shocked by the number of people ive seen fall for this, i would've thought this community would have better digital literacy than that
might be a good idea to post this to mod mail if you haven't already
swarm falls for the most obvious misinformation
this guy is still around?
i saw them a bit ago on a video but thought it was just a roleplaying thing, if theyre claiming to actually be vedal that is very concerning yeah
I just asked about this somehow I didn't see there was already a post
obviously, what do you think
there's gain to impersonating so why would they stop
I don't really know what they're gaining since it's not like they're getting paid but I guess some ppl just like the attention
I wanna say there is no way anybody is falling for that but I am sad that it is possible
I think everybody in this thread would like to say that
the handle @/vedal987 leads to nothing so they're impersonating using russian characters 😭

someone should really claim that handle in case they try to pull funny shenanigans
actually I'll do that in case they are lurking here
oh good they can't anyways
Probably part of the whole “people around the world” thing. That’s fishy as shit
i tried, it doesnt work
I just did as well
this is why i username snipe
like https://www.youtube.com/@rei_xxxxxxxxxxxx

This ...
We need to group report cuz apparently the mods have tried to get it down and it didn’t work
how did you know?
I sent that mod mail
pretty sure this has also been talked about before
so...
yeah he's been around awhile
alright well
what's the link so I can contribute
I'm assuming the person got bonked
YouTube
You think you're safe?
Check out the official channel » https://www.youtube.com/@Neurosama
figured out how they kept their name from popping up in searches
they use a capital i instead of an l in their tag
so their tag is actually @vedaI987
oh i thought its russian chars
What’s a good channel link or username to use as the impersonation?
Would it be the Neuro Sama channel
I used the neuro-sama channle and said in the notes they were impersonating the projects developet "vedal". make it as short as you can while also giving enough context they don't havr to do research. People are lazy.
I hate how the first half of speaking to support agents is them trying to get you to do the things you’ve already done
And they won’t let you speak to someone who has any ability to do anything unless you convince them that you’re not gonna go away if they don’t
how did you even get to that screen?
You need to be a YouTube partner or have access to an account that partner
It'll be a big Swarm W if we can get it taken down.
Yep I might even leak the transcript of how I talk to support agents to make them do what I want
wait how are you able to do that?
good riddance

WE DID IT
lmfao

now close the thread
