Fake youtube benchmark? Any explanation or the example where one of these videos got caught?

Look at some other comments under this thread.

There's one person mentioning that they've watched a benchmark video about "4060 ti vs 7700 XT". Mind you, those graphics cards do not exist as of today.

These videos do not disappear and by the time the graphics cards actually exist, these will get even more views.

Sometimes these fake benchmarks pop up long after release of the cards, sometimes they pop up BEFORE THE CARD RELEASES.

This can be observed by sorting videos by "new/latest" on the day of "NDA dates" for recent GPU releases, where RTX 4090, 4080, 4070 ti, RX 7900 XT and 7900 XTX all have various FAKE benchmarks, often released on the same day as real benchmarks - just a few hours before NDA goes up.

This means that after time passes, most users would be none the wiser when looking for benchmarks even though these results are completely spoofed and even if they "seem to appear correct" it is merely a coincidence or educated guess of the scammer YouTube channel in question. On the day of, you can see because they released it hours before NDA ends. Some time later, that becomes a nuisance that most users wouldn't find out, plus there will be so many comments flooding the section that it will look legit. Keep in mind you can delete comments that are calling you out, no problem, and there's no dislike count, so no problem either.
