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)

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
