This member joined Jun 4, 2021 and started posting videos. I noticed in the past few weeks, the posts have increased dramatically, but I've never had any interest in them...until today. I went to his Open a sack of wine post and noticed the YouTube icon in the upper left of the video was the exact same icon used for his BGOL avatar. So, I go to his YouTube page and see nothing but short clips, less than 1min, in his library.
I quickly surmised this dude is harvesting other people's videos to make money.
YouTube creators can now get $10,000 per month for making Shorts
I googled Virtual Nova and found a shit load of interesting info. This is what Wikipedia has:
en.wikipedia.org
ViralNova is a curation site for clickbait, launched in May 2013. John Hermann of BuzzFeed described ViralNova as a connection between "the dark internet — chain-letter internet — and Facebook". Run by Scott DeLong, ViralNova was sold to Zealot Networks on 9 July 2015 for $100 million.
Scott DeLong
The aforementioned clickbait site: https://viralnova.com/
And has several articles written about him:
fortune.com
www.businessinsider.com
slate.com
One of the articles mentions he has several people working for him, so this BGOL member may or may not be him. Regardless if this dude is some kinda celebrity or not, I don't think I care for a non-black dude flooding the board with bullshit and exploiting our eyeballs for YouTube profits. Dude's not evening a paying member.

ViralNova, the one-man site with 100 million readers, grows into a business
One of the largest websites in the world forms a lean and mean business plan.
One guy launched a website and made millions without hiring a single employee — now he's sold it and could make $100 million
Scott DeLong launched ViralNova and immediately generated milions of dollars. Now he's selling his website for even more money to Zealot Networks.
