Prominent gaming YouTubers are having their likenesses stolen and minted as NFTS, with the images being sold for profit without their consent.
Many of the affected YouTubers find their identities have been included as part of an NFT assortment called the “Top YouTubers Collection”, seemingly uploaded by a user calling themselves “StakeTheWeb” and sold on the NFT marketplace OpenSea.
The practice is undeniably theft, and due to the largely anonymous nature of blockchain technologies, it can leave those affected without recourse.
