How do they DDOS?
A few emerging YouTubers face DDoS attacks, likely from organized groups using botnets. These attackers aim to disrupt their channels, and yes, they often rely on automated networks to overwhelm servers.
Lack of sufficient details to determine the reason or identity.
What's under attack? Their local connections? The platforms they use? Who is behind it? With over eight billion individuals globally, the methods could involve anyone or even a few key players. Likely tactics include flooding servers with massive volumes of requests at extremely high speeds. Botnets are a possibility.
someone manages numerous systems or programs across platforms, even hacked ones, all connected to a website. if the service can only support a limited number of users at once, the site may crash or slow down. mining functions somewhat like a botnet, with computers working together to achieve a goal—such as phones, consoles, personal computers, or even paying for views.

DDoS attacks are now common in a fast-paced industry. Who would target such systems? Probably someone with a strong view and enough money to waste it. I remember reading that some CRM tools and customer portals used by these problematic users can be more polished than genuine services. It turns out, being skilled enough to control a botnet also means you might be good at designing user interfaces for customers.
Some folks provided real value, while others complained about missing details. If I had more information, I wouldn’t be asking. It seems many people (including me) tend to share less than needed on forums, and complaining about lack of info is becoming common. I believe there should be clearer guidelines about this.
You missed mentioning the YouTubers who were supposedly affected, which is essentially the least helpful detail you could have shared. Is this latest remark anything other than complaining? I don’t think it’s merely complaining to remind you that you lacked context for your query. In fact, the response you gave is simply the answer to what you asked—we just don’t have sufficient information. All others only offered the most basic details about DDOSing, which isn’t the topic you inquired about. Pointing out the uncertainty makes things clearer and encourages more thoughtful contributions. It’s not an outbreak; it’s just how forums function. Sharing complete knowledge leads to better discussions.
Playing devil's advocate focuses on understanding the mechanism behind a DDoS attack, not who is affected.
