A certain youtuber "showed" how to make a PR in a video called "how to get a free tshirt"
then claimed he wanted to show people how to make a PR (his example was about the same as 99% of all those spam requests)
What's sad is that the majority of the spam PR commits have exactly the same phrase as what the host showed them, "Amazing Project". They now think this is how contribution is done.
What's worse he demonstrated it by doing it to a random project, instead of making a repository on his own Github for specifically that purpose and NOT mention in the title "hey guys this spammy behaviour will get you a free tshirt" (paraphrasing but still)
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
