YouTube's Biggest Stars Are Pushing a Shady Polish Gambling Site

Untold riches are promised on Mystery Brand, a website that
sells prize-filled "mystery boxes." If you buy one of the
digital boxes, some of which cost hundreds of dollars, you
might only get a fidget spinner--or you might get a luxury
sports car. For just $100, users can win a box filled with
rare Supreme streetwear. For only $12.99, they can win a
Lamborghini, or even a $250 million mega-mansion billed as
"the most expensive Los Angeles realty." Or at least that's
what some top YouTubers have been telling their young fans
about the gambling site--with the video stars apparently
seeing that as a gamble worth taking, especially after a dip
in YouTube advertising rates.
