In an interview with Bloomberg, Wozniak said:

Believe it or not, it started in Mayand continues to this day. Some people are angry that I did not send them their bitcoin and think that I personally cheated them. We found a huge number of such videos on the network and we started sending complaints. Hundreds, thousands of complaints. We wanted to solve this issue as ordinary users would.

Wozniak claims that YouTube's algorithms are seriously flawed, so they don't respond to fraudulent videos. He added:

Any person who would look at these videos would say for sure that it is a hoax.But none of the YouTube employees ever looked at the video, and that's the problem.Also, we can't get a response from them.problem if it occurs in an ordinary user who does not have aNo leverage.

According to him, almost all large sites do not have the proper level of technical support for users, since they completely automate these processes, which is why their quality is sharply reduced.

Steve Wozniak has long been an advocate of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. He previously stated that Bitcoin would become a global currency.
