As part of my maintenance routine and on a daily basis - I look for newly released trailers for the most popular upcoming shows.
A weird pattern I noticed through the years are rogue YouTube channels like this one:

(I've stumbled upon 5-6 channels EXACTLY like this one - same channel and video naming pattern, approximately the same number of videos, just for different shows)
Check out 2-3 random trailers. Notice anything out of place?
Each and every one of these seemingly innocent TV show trailers have a short video stitched before the actual trailer (and sometimes after as well).
These stitched videos are always scary news reports about people being attacked, robbed or murdered.
The choice of shows to upload trailers for seems random at first, but if you look closer - those are all relatively obscure and niche shows with fairly small following.
To me - it looks like it's a concerted effort by some entity to try and raise (certain?) peoples fears?
I'm not sure who or why would be doing this, but I thought it might be a good idea to expose this here for some discussion and further investigation?
