Coffeezilla is an amazing youtuber and deserves all the attention he can get. A really damn fine investigative journalist going after people and holding them accountable.

If you want to see the entire trilogy for this Logan Paul Saga:

    - Part One:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=386p68_lDHA
    - Part Two:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvzyDg40-yw
    - Part Three is TFA

Highly HIGHLY recommend watching more of his stuff. He's had great quality videos for years now, and deserves a moment to check out.

Also his video editing and story telling is so so good. Take for example this video [0] at 7:00 until the end, it literally gave me chills. Talking with a robot which takes him up to the roof top of a virtual city where the robot talks about that not all people are bad and that you shouldn't ignore the big picture.

I have trouble wrapping my head around how people could put down amounts of money that are significant to them into something that depends on competence and trustworthiness of singular people they don't even know personally.

Now they are shocked "but they promised!!!" ... How do these people think reality operates? On promises?

I want to feel bad for the people who fell for this, but it’s so stupid, it’s hard to. We really are in the dumbest timeline.

I don’t feel bad for fools, but I always frustratingly conclude that we have to protect them because they live among us, and they’re more dangerous to us without money.

(And there’s plenty of non-selfish reasons to help)

American greed and taste for fraud at its finest…

I sincerely hope the teenagers of today don’t believe too much of what’s shown on instagram and youtube, what values it sends (on any kind of topic), because otherwise we’re doomed as a society.

They believe the things they see online, especially if they see it over and over again. And it doesn't stop there, it also affects adults.

It is pandemic.

Submission title could use a less clickbaity title and [video] being appended.

it very clearly says "youtube.com" for the source, not sure why you also need [video] for that? Also is it HN policy to edit titles from the source even if they are clickbait? Genuine question. As much as I love Coffeezilla, it's definitely a more clickbaity title thanks to the YT algo.

Yup: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."

I'm not sure what a better title would be though
