@felipegaucho wrote in #512: ---> Sidenote: this made me think of something: for crypto-tubers, something they could do to be really serious on this matter is to have, somehow, a public key displayed in their videos (e.g. a nice, framed one, hanging on the wall behind the tuber), and just keep its corresponding pv key safe (e.g. Keybase on audiovisuals) for when whichever ownership disputes arise (e.g. I am claiming to be you, while profiting on your videos over another network).

Just some comments:

it can be a QR code
we can check it automatically (i.e. the user flags a "QR code in video", and our software can check if that is indeed the public key of the uploader)
