This was great, thanks for putting in the effort to get some insight into this world of comment scams. It's incredibly frustrating, because as you say, it's an endless game of whack-a-mole.

[enkimerlin]

I swear, you're really a rare breed. A stand up, open minded person. Some would go and make this a click bait type of gotcha video, but you have empathy while still warning us. Much love.

Made a video about these scams with Pleasant Green in July 2021, sucks that it's still carrying on and YouTube has done little to try to stop it

[IanFonseca]

Thanks for bringing awareness to this issue. Hope more people notice this video and don't fall for the scams.

This was the sweetest "I caught a scammer" video I've ever seen. What a moral core. I honestly was recommended your video out of nowhere but I'll be checking out more of your stuff. The world needs more hearts like yours.

[BlacktailStudio]

That was fascinating. I like how you handled that. Easy to forget how we might act in a similar situation. While still maintaining the “these guys suck and I hope they go out of business” mentality.

[dandork]

This guy is so wholesome, and that's why his channel is targeted. What a world we live in.

[Names_Define_Identities]

I have no words for this. Instead of outright being agressive he maintained a calm and collected attitude for the whole video and even showed empathy for the scammer, this guy is truly a good person.

I’m glad you are staying on top of this issue. I’m still shocked at how YouTube ignores it or takes very weak approaches to solving it. It harms the platform, creators, and users.

[NwoduTochi]

Sad as it may seem…
I enjoy your level of calmness and transparency
Like you said, FOOD FOR THOUGHT “robbing people whist you are poor doesn’t make you some kind of robin-hood!!”

people need to stop this!!!

[gunneone]

You're a hell of a role model for all of us.

[shtechvn]

This is the calmest scammer confrontation I've ever seen. I'm not sure i'll be able to stay as cool headed as you were when facing these obnoxious thieves.

[tenguronin]

I really admire how you still follow a code of honor but have an open mind. YouTube needs to stop these scammers

[NicoBinwag]

11mins of calm and non-barbaric approach to a scammer. So wholesome and inspiring. Always be friends with your enemies. Awesome vid!!!

[YouTubeLiaison]

Thanks so much for this video, Zack. I'm working with our teams pretty much every day on this, and we're continuing to roll out new protections and experiments. I've experienced it on my own channel, so I really feel it. Please keep the feedback coming!

[tailse]

You're a class act. Such compassion and understanding, it's nice to see such nuance while still highlighting it's wrong

[michaelheiber]

I love the last 15 seconds of the video. That message was directed directly to the scammer giving him hope to find his way in life so he chooses to stop scamming people. You are truly amazing Zack!

[savagekid]

You're a really mature guy, putting yourself in others shoes and understanding yet not justifying someones situation and making a video to clarify and warn people to be careful with whom they're communicating with. You're one of the best youtubers out here

[JustinSmith-mhmi]

The fact that, despite his efforts to get under your skin, as well as the damage this may be doing to your reputation, you're still continually free of judgement, compassionate, and empathetic; I have no words. We, as everyday people, can only strive to practice the amount of humanity you express in this video. Never change, not a single iota, Zack. You are a cast for those who wish to mold themselves into better people.

This reminds of a sort of revelation I had a few years back. I was searching for package thief videos, because I just wanted the quick joy of seeing a criminal get caught. But all I really found felt was ... pity. There was no joy in watching the videos, or reading the stories, because it was always just sad. As you said, poor people robbing from other poor people.
