Sorry, Justin Bieber, your YouTube got hacked. Again.

Kidrauhl was hacked on YouTube. I'm praying nothing gets deleted. That's where the memories are and where his journey started—

Other YouTube channels might have been hacked, too, according to some tweets:
Can't believe most of the big YouTube channels have been hacked :O—

We’ve sent an inquiry to Google and will update this post as soon as we hear back.
So… your sources are mainly tweets. Damn, you guys are so bad.
Why does GigaOm continue to allow ads in the comment space?
We don’t allow them, Rich. Spammers exploit holes in how WordPress verifies comments to leave terrible ads, and when we see them, we remove them.
