Why your support really matters

Folks,

I would like to thank you all for your support on Patreon. I really cannot do what I do without your help.

Above is YouTube's assessment of my most recent video. They deem that it's covers a "Controversial issue". Their examples of controversial issues include suicide, sexual abuse,, child abuse or domestic abuse. It seems that my topic of choice (scams and scammers) are not Disney enough for their platform and the video is demonetized. This happens to a lot of videos and I can't quite fathom why some are allowed and others aren't. I could blame it on a faulty algorithm, but this is apparently the result of human review. I have no come-back either... when the decision is made, it's final.

It's also the reason why I've been too afraid to give up my day job and concentrate on YouTube. The videos take a long time to put together and I spent a number of weeks with a writer to make sure he had enough material to confront not just the scammer you see in the video, but another top-level scammer who has made millions in scams. It's a subject for a future video. I don't get paid for this time, I make no money from the article in the NY Times magazine and my only source of revenue from the video is literally YouTube and Patreon. I do not get sponsorship from 3rd parties - I don't want to make this channel a commercial one.

So this is simply a 'thank you' for allowing me to be able to continue to be able to help others become aware of scams and help close them down when I can. You are all stars.

New patreon subscriber here, happy to support the work you do! You're doing an amazing job and deserve all the support. I would be totally ok with sponsorship on your channel too if it helps. Would love an AMA or something like that on youtube, do you hold youtube lives so we can send superchats?

Lissa Makareka

i love this message, but also like.. i know i'm a new sub on patreon, but i feel like it may be worth mentioning that i (along with many others that i know) have NO issue with creators like you getting support from third parties like sponsors !!! i'm not trying to make any argument one way or another, i just wanted to mention that i really don't think there should ever be an issue with a creator doing sponsorships, especially with how rough YT demonetization is these days. it's genuinely nice to see sponsors supporting the people we like as they make all the content we love (while also helping with the financial burden of pursuing a tumultuous career like youtube) !! i know you don't really do them, but i wanted to say that if you ever chose to do a sponsorship, or accept any other third party support, there's nothing wrong with that at ALL. your content is amazing, and anything that supports that & allows you to make it without sacrificing your mental health or financial stability is great

I think we all need to know what is going on if you shut your eyes you are blinded to your freedom to watch or not watch

Vic King

As soon as I'm back to work I plan on upgrading my membership level. Love your work and dedication.

Kevin Furlong

And thanks for keeping content fresh ! 😂

Jim, you’re a rock star and certainly the computer caped crusader swooping in to save those of us who aren’t computer geniuses. Thankfully I’ve got a good gut instinct and haven’t been scammed to date but these scammers are certainly getting more savvy which means my only defense is education via good guys like you. My heart breaks for all those who have lost so much to these criminals but it proves conclusively that in the small world the Internet has created we must have staunch global laws and even tougher global justice because not everyone uses FaceBook to stay in touch with old high school friends. Unfortunately the laws can’t keep up with the incredibly savvy ways the Internet allows us to be scammed from across the globe which is why solid international agreements between governments is badly needed…and those agreements must be upheld to the highest standards. Frankly, governments would be wise to have you work with them to implement such agreements as you’re clearly in the know. Thank you Jim. I’m sorry you can’t quit your day job yet and that YouTube minions can be so small minded but maybe the guy who dubbed your video as naughty is the brother in law of the cousin’s cousin’s sister aunt three times removed? If we girls can have a guy on a shit list as far away as Afghanistan in less than 24 hours then anything is possible right?!?! 🤣😂. Just keep up the good work and know that we all appreciate you and know that you as the closet thing we have to a real hero.

Judith Borghi

Thank you Jim. I clicked on an Instagram Facebook Bot. It took down everything related to that company. My dad accidentally sent me to a Facebook scam site. I didn’t give in. In fact after crying, that I was a child pornography. And I need 25k to remove it? In gift cards? I screamed trilogy media. They hung up. Sadly, because I think I’m still hacked, no one seems to know how to help. I still support you. Hackers, scammers. They all need to be brought down. The hacking led to the scammers. It’s a vicious cycle. As with the bot. It’s rather destroying my life. No one seems to be able to send me to a computer person in SoCal. Just to check. Help me. Calm my fears. Just when I think I’m fine. New pop ups don’t end. And they look exactly like Apple. That’s how the Russians got into my email. It said my account wasn’t working. Type in my password. Then they locked me out until I realized it was them. And now they’re on LinkedIn. I’m trying to get a job. Just moved here. Supporting you means the world to me. I don’t have much, but, this needs to calm down. I know it’ll never stop. But. I need a break. Every time I hear someone cry. So do I. I know they work off your fear. And you’re scared. Confused. Broken down. They laugh. It’s our life. They live in India. Americans are all wealthy. Um no. And, if you have amazing IT skills. Move here asshole. Sadly, I don’t trust anyone who is helpful, from India. And that’s not fair. These scammers aren’t realizing, that after going through all of this? They’re ruining their culture. 😢 So please keep helping. If it wasn’t for you. My anxiety would have killed me. I’m still scared because just when I think it’s okay. I get a pop up reminded that apple can’t do shit. But you all give us all hope. I got 16% off on a higher tier. Because, Star Wars. Help us Obi Wan Kenobi. You’re our only hope. Thank you. ❤️

TheDeadSkeletonShow

I just signed up .I’m proud of joining you,.I’m watching all of your videos on YouTube. Very informative and educational and also it makes me more vigilant about these low life scammers. God bless you ! I salute you for wht you do. Peace ✌️

Aydin Genc

when someone says they are John smith with an Indian accent its a red flag for me

raymond barker

keep doing what you're doing. i just signed up to support you.

Adam Holt

Twitch Is where another scambaiter Kitboga does a lot of stuff and they wont demonetize you as easy

Simon Keeling

You keep doing you man. We enjoy your work and what you provide to everyone (including random people seeing your videos). You also inspire others to seek starting a career in the information security world. I know personally myself I've kicked the can about trying to move into InfoSec even after I started my career as a systems engineer. TBH you're inspiring me to pick up the study materials and work towards certifications to make myself marketable and one day work in the field educating users and coworkers while also securing the environment with the rest of the InfoSec teams.

astro_code21

Its Probably the scammers caues I could easily make a multi box of ips to attack someone I could even spend 100 bucks on some of those multis having premium. The internet is the wild west. I have a few bots and scamers on the line right now I know if I send them money on an account I can get all accounts that sent or received money from that account to locked I kinda want to do that..... and why do they want my location in whats app so bad? Are they trying to steal an account? I've been chillywillypyro for so long my email has been sold to so many farms all I feel my email is is junk from this stuff can you point me in the way of where I would get this knowledge

Chillywillypyro .

I'm a new Patreon subscriber and just wanted to show my appreciation for what you do :) I'm a broke college student so we'll see how long I can continue supporting you but I really hope things work out in your favor. Keep up the hard work!

Layla Gonzalez

What you do is appreciated. Very happy to support.

David Staume

Jim, I find your work captivating. The detail you go to, the narrative is always spot-on. An absolute delight to help you to continue on with this quest. Just brilliant, shame its taken me so long to come across your endeavours!!

Gary Pugsley

Jim, you are a damn hero. Please let me know if you have any translation help!

Crystal Grey

i tried and hung up as soon as they started talking lol

Ali Osborn

Not even from an English speaking country so not "protecting my folks" but still had to subscribe. Good work.

Simon

Go for them! I was once able to protect a neighbor from such a scam. Other than that I don't have a cool enough mind to do what you do.

Remo Fleckinger

Thank you for all you do to fight the injustice that preys on the vulnerable.

Paul Carrington

You are the true star mate, keep up the great work

Denny Gordon

You will always have my support, Jim. You are one of the few who actually do good for the world. Thank you so much, and I look forward to helping you catch these guys in any way I can.

HnTR

I agree. I am a tech guy and have often thought about getting back at the scammers in the way Jim does but it is a lot of work and very time consuming. So I have decided to support him on this platform to help.him on his good work.

Graham Dodgson

You are our hero Jim!! Keep doing what you do ❤️❤️

DJ40 FiebreMusikal

We all need to take to the other social forums to make Jim Browning a star and get him the financial support to quit his day job and take these creeps on full time.

Tami

We need an army of you.

Jan Tore Noreng

same here, it's my first time on Patreon and Jim is my only support personal atm

Cissie Chen

Thank you Jim, I just paid an annual amount to support your work. I'm an IT technician myself, I am really moved by what do you here & I'm really glad I came across one of your videos on YouTube and decided to watch them all. Your work is genuine an angel's work. there's not a lot people like yourself doing this nowadays. I will continue support you as much as I can. On top of that I can also offer you free help if you need? I used to teach computer science & IT in secondary schools (UK) and now working as Tech Support Analyst for almost 2 years & about taking my CCNA exam, as well as thinking about doing some cyber security stuff, so please drop me a message. I am welling to support you for free.

Cissie Chen

Have you looked in to the Nebula platform? Also want to say, you are an amazing person. I wish I had the know how and the time to do this kind of stuff. I don't, but now that I have found you I will support you and am telling everyone I know about you as well. I wish you could do this full time, but understand having a family to support, so keep doing what you have to.

William Freeborn

Ave you thought about petitioning YouTube to add scammer or such as a genre? It should be!

Kellie Hopstein

That's why we're here Jim, to pay it back to you. You're helping people, then someone must be helping you. Thanks for the great job you're doing mate!

Dave Stardust

Thanks Jim for the work you're doing. This is my first Patreon but worth every single penny! Keep up the good work.

Earl E. Bird

This is my 1st Patreon joined as it helps so many, a worthy cause indeed. Thanks!

Robert Lambert

Keep up the great work Jim. Being an Indian myself, its is disgusting to see these scammers are born in the country of Mahatma Gandhi.

Kannan Subrahmanyan

i have never ever joined any other Patreon ever before but i think this is doing so much good for the public and hey a few dollars a month is really not that much! i hope you get more and more supporters.

Chloe

Enjoy your hobby and helping others. It’s an admirable past time. I don’t mind supporting someone that helps save the elderly from being scammed.

Frank Mehrtens

The real scam was the Youtube we made along the way

Pistachio

Did a bit of looking into it, it's most likely that the advertisers have expressed a desire to not have their products/services advertised on videos with certain keywords. Rather than YouTube not allowing it?

Em Wilcox

Jim, I became your new Patreon today. You will have my support, if you ever run out of funds, please let me know.

YT learner

What you're doing is of course invaluable and inspirational, but is clearly extremely time consuming. Don't forget to take a break, man. Happy hunting, Bitter Jack.

Bitter Jack

We love you, Jim!

Kumail Abbas

Glad to help Jim, Keep up the good work.

Erik Siegel

You're fantastic Jim! Just bumped up to the next tier for you! Keep on keeping on!

Magefulrage

This is why I am happy to support you Jim!

Entr opy

Hello Jim you are one the best people on earth as without you millions of people lose a source of content and give people the latest when it comes to this scam news and this is the least I can do to help you with amazing content keep doing what you are doing

Joshua Carter

Hello Jim, I just lost my mom two weeks ago and we kids taught her to never fall prey to scammers...to hang up when they called out an iphone she never purchased and to never click on links and to never ever call anyone about a computer problem etc....but not all elderly have kids to protect their Mom and during my grieving I somehow found your site and watched what you did....and because I have some money I am able to support you at the level I did. I wonder now if you are wondering why this person (me) would do this without explanation and would doubt my sincerity since you see people scamming others all the time. So anyway I just wrote this so you would know why I donated to you as I am grateful someone is looking out for seniors...I know there is only so much you can do but even saving one from losing the little money they may have (my mom had very little money but the biggest heart). If I knew anything about computers I would help but I am a veterinary surgeon so my scope of knowledge is extremely limited. If I can help beyond money then just tell we how I can. Thank you for caring. Melissa

melissa dudley

Sir Browning, Sir because you are a knight in shining armor, whether your Queen knights you is irrelevant, your supporters have. All I had before was to just blow a whistle in the ear of these crooks, now I have Sir "Jim Browning ". Will have your six with my support. Why not post to Gab also.

Lloyd Lusk

No I’m in the u.s They have been certainly ramping up here calling a dozen times a day

PAT

Scammers have a new scam it's a fake Government Grant they butter you so they can get your passwords they say they need the passwords to verify your ID and the romance scams are back so hide your gift cards

christopher atkinson

Thanks so much for putting the fear of god into these scamming scumbags. My dad was scammed not long before he passed away. These people are absolute scum. Really enjoying your incredible work.

Burt Bag

Thank you very much Paolo. It does make sense ok, but it can be quite confusing - there's certainly no hand and fast rule. I appreciate the support through Patreon - it makes a huge difference to me.

Jim Browning

Jim, I wish I could do more, than my $10 a month. So I am more than willing to offer any assistance I can. If you need help editing writing, or whatever I may have a skill set that would help, I will do whatever I can for no charge. I would be more than happy to help if I have any skill sets that might lessen the burden on you! I do work for a software company where I configure databases if that helps.

Shawn Empson

From Italy? Got one too, I’m Italian, received the call from a +39 number (Italian one) But the woman that was speaking to me was having a Albanian/Romanian accent

Chris

You’re a badass Jim only one video in and I’m hooked. Thank you for taking care of these assholes

Alex Degrandis

I have gotten a different scam call yesterday, saying they’re from Amazon echo and the echo has ordered $600 worth of stuff. Has anybody else gotten those calls concerning the echo?

PAT

Thank you Jim for your hard work! It gives me hope that there are still good people like you in this world. You sir are a true hero!

Stevem

Jim, I’m happy to be a supporter and I look forward to your busting more scammers!

Joaquin Juarez

Hey you thought about having it on another platform like LBRY or one of the other's ?

camdy

Wow that’s crazy Jim. I’m so sorry YouTube did that to you. I had to start a whole new account because YouTube suspended my account saying for abusive language and that is so not true. I just want you to know that we love you so much for all you do and we understand you are only one person and you can only do so much and you are doing a great job. Thank you so much for the videos that you do post and I understand it takes time to edit the videos so just keep in mind that we appreciate all that you do whenever you can. You are such a good man and I love you for that. Again thankyou so much Jim for being you 💞❤️🥰

Stephanie Humphries

Happy to be supporting the effort!

Jeri Spence

Oh my god, this is truckload of bs :( How is your video even remotely related to the topics listed? Smh

Alvin the Chipmunk

Jim, this is very unfortunate, but if I may offer a point of view, it's not as much about the videos and the content itself, rather avoiding issues with advertisers. The truth is that many brands and companies are extremely sensitive to the content they get paired with when advertising. I am an advertising executive, and what I can tell you is that while the categorization you see in YT's description is absolutely misleading with respect to the content you publish, the fact is many brands would have issues with getting paired with content that shows scammers, hacking, people losing their money (vs. more "family safe" content). I can't speak to how YT labels videos specifically, but the reason why you are now eligible only for "limited advertising" is that only a few advertisers would feel fully comfortable with your content (e.g. antivirus companies). I wish things would be different so creators and wonderful people like you would be supported properly to do the great work you do, but until then, I'm glad you have a great Patreon community to support you. I've just upgraded my membership to help out a bit more.

Paolo Provinciali

I honestly can't thank you enough. When you support me directly like this, it makes an incredible difference to the time I can devote to going after scammers. Thank you again, Jim

Jim Browning

Just joined the Patreon. I enjoy watching you help the innocent and cause chaos to them scumbags

Dave Robinson

@jim...thank you for what you do...YOU ARE THE STAR...I will gladly support you taking it these mother f#$%÷@ down a notch or 2 at the least

HotTarBurn

Maybe consider mirroring them on other platforms, eg LBRY or other alternatives, just in case some of them get completely removed (if that is actually a thing)?

dans

I'm an attorney who came across your videos after the glitterbomb video crossover near Christmas. Happy to become a supoorter. Especially as i've had countless clients come in who have been scammed and I've never been able to help them. There's a number of letter scams that I've come across that are incredibly convincing that clients have brought to me. It's all just so frustrating and sad. But I'm glad you're able to do something as I haven't ever been able to do anything other than give free consultations and try to teach them how to a avoid them in the future.

Chris Townsend

I'm sorry you have to put up with this. Know that your work is valued and appreciated. You didn't ask for this but I've raised my monthly contribution. It's not much but I hope it helps.

Ryan Jewell

Time to upgrade to Slightly Ridiculous to help out ;)

Ryan Hamm

Shame that youtube has done this to you ! hopefully things will get resolved quickly!? Is there not anywhere on Youtube that we could send a complaint to about your video being blocked? Keep fighting the good fight Jim.

Jaymie

I appreciate you Jim I know it's disheartening at times but what you do matters! It makes an impact ! Directly or indirectly the ripple effect is there. No telling how many lives you've affected from the person who is the potential victim to their families. I think you are very unselfish. Ty for what you can get out to us and all the hard word you put into it. You are appreciated by me.

Lynn Henry

Upgraded to Mega Gold just because of this. You'll always have our support!

Kelly

I just upgraded my silver account to gold because of this. don't let the bastards grind ya down Jim.

Dave Stowell

Sorry to hear that, it's pretty bad that youtube is basically the "only" video platform (still miles ahead of others) and still has had the same problems for years. I'll upgrade my patreon tier, thanks for your amazing work!

vizigr0u

Hi Jim, it may have been mentioned to you before, but I've recently discovered odysee.com, which aims to be decentralized but still allow you to monetize your videos (without a single entity being able to demonetize your videos). There's a way to synchronize your Youtube channel with it, so it may be relatively easy to post on both. Something to look into! Thanks for your videos

Kevin Guillaumond

Thank you Eric. I do appreciate the support. It will only ever be a handful of victims, but at least it's something.

Jim Browning

Hi Modern Adventurer, Hooking into someone elses PC, even if they are a scammer, is illegal. So I run a risk when I do this and although it's doubtful that there will ever be a complaint, in all conscience, I cannot bring others into this. I hope you understand where I'm coming from.

Jim Browning

Wow. This is absolutely brilliant SpeciaL. I've always encouraged anyone who asks me that, if possible, try to get into this area if it interests them. Not only is it interesting, it's a subject area with very few qualified people and you will be in demand. In a lot of ways, you're doing what I should have done years ago. I've not got these qualifications formally, but I think I could run at least part of these courses myself :) It's great to hear about your career choice... I'm certain you'll have fun doing this. Thanks again for the support too! Jim

Jim Browning

Thank you Jim for changing my life, first of all you seemed confused how you change my life, I'm electrician and have nothing to do with it. After I started watching you I enroll in many courses regarding penetration, Linux, python, network, Cisco. Now I'm taking a ethical hacker course I will get my certification in the end of this month. And this subscription is not much but a way of thanking you for great baiting scammer as we encounter them daily. THANKS AGAIN AND I HOPE, NOW I'M MORE FOUCES ON WHAT I WANT TO BE IN LIFE IS CYBERSECURITY AND HELPING PEOPLE

SpeciaL

Jim, thank you so much for doing this, I told you about my mother and how she almost fell into a nasty scam, you can imagine that I'm thankful for what you do. (Since I also support you on Patreon) I will continue to help you.

grnface 007

Echoing the many comments already existing - good work, happy to support. But I also wan't to note that your small comments and thanks are a good way of letting us know you care, just like you are grateful of the small contributions. Always looking forward to new content, and i really do like your professional manner instead of just ridiculing them. Hope at one point to be able to reach the platinum support.

Jakob Lindbjerg Buthler

Happy to support the fabulous work that you do, Jim.

RM

I've had two experiences on similar veins: 1. A YouTube channel which has a series of videos where kids are shown presenting adult jokes - jokes that they would not understand and shouldn't be taught to them due to their age, and therefore lack of understanding. I became disgusted and wanted to flag a video, but the options I was provided with were inadequate and didn't suit the situation. I wasn't provided with any alternative but to either flag the video falsely or ignore. I chose the latter. 2. At work, indirectly working with WhatsApp (Facebook). You can create SMS and WhatsApp message templates which undergo approval by them. However, their approval process is inconsistent: they grant disapproval one day, then approval another for the exact same template! I battled this for about two weeks before giving up and having to concentrate on more pressing matters. I feel we need to speak more with one coordinated voice. Rally against the shit systems that are in place and not just accept what is, but, instead, battle and strive for what could be!

Aaron Symons

I know several victims who lost thousands of euros. The police cannot help them, so giving you some money is the best way to get back at those scammers. I'm happy to contribute.

Eric Darchis

I thought the whole point of youtube was to support skilled content creators making quality material while also making the world a better place? This is insanity.

A Hoel

I understand I'm only in a tier $10 group, but I can change it anytime! How can I speak with you on discord (which I truly hate... Why not Teamspeak VPS server?? You can have up to 32 people in there for free! And the yearly cost is $15 per year on RamNode which I know the owner and can help set it up for you!). I'm sure your good at setting up VPS Linux based servers with your knowledge! Running a small Linux vps shouldn't be any issue for you. My issue is I want to know how much it would cost me to learn how to do what you do.... Don't worry, I'll create a contract that I won't take any business from you, won't create a YouTube channel like you, won't create a Patreon like you, etc. I just want to be able to do what you do and help the community of people free of charge! I'm no hacker, but I'm close because of my programming knowledge and my knowledge of PLCs. I also know gray code...lol.. You understand the joke? Contact me somehow... Tell me what resources you need. I want to help like you help. Is there a place for a second helper?

Little Yellow Ducks

I'm a hobbyist Delphi programmer. I've written code in c, java, php, etc... run various vps debian servers, etc. Is there anyway to get the knowledge from you on how you hook into the scammer's pc to grab their data while they are connected to your vmware or whatever you use? Why not two people or more be doing what your doing?

Little Yellow Ducks

Love your videos. 🙏

Richard Samuels

Many thanks Jim.

Richard Samuels

Maybe they do not like anyone empowering regular people. Anything that is trying to help people think critically is on their short list.

Funhouse Mirror

Insta is also suspect. All of the big tech sites have gotten involved in biased agendas. I posted about a recipe (for a skillet casserole) and a pop up accused me of something heinous I won't even mention. The actual comment was so innocuous and nothing in it could ever be mistaken or misconstrued as anything else. And it was on a cooking site. I think it was more about getting my IP by making me click the pop up, but who knows? It's gaslighting. And I think they collate beliefs and politics people express on totally unrelated sites, and then they go after people whose opinions they dislike. What we typically consider good is bad to them, and vice versa.

Funhouse Mirror

They're very draconian. I know people who've been banned who did nothing wrong and there is no reversal. Maybe they can't admit what it is they actually take exception to.

Funhouse Mirror

Unregulated? It's HEAVILY regulated. Most people didn't want what happened or is happening.

Funhouse Mirror

And: You are welcome. What you do is amazing as are your talents and skills.

Funhouse Mirror

Perhaps consider another platform. There are many now which do not censor so heavily.

Funhouse Mirror

No Jim, YOU are the star!!

chax000

That's awesome. Thank goodness there are people like you in this world!!

Scott Nelson

Instagram has a MASSIVE "shooter" community, but with that and the current state of ammunition scarcity it's also loaded with thousands of Ammo Scammers that rip people off every day. I've worked with another account to help warn people and get them shut down, sending the scammers a grabify link disguised as a paypal link go get their IPs etc is usually enough to get them to pack up shop, but sometimes you have to rely on the report feature on IG. 90% of the time IG says they don't go against their terms so they do nothing, despite them claiming to be selling ammo/firearms. None of them have proper licenses of course (they don't have product either), they use copies of stolen FFL licences to "prove" they're legit, I've contacted one of the FFLs that they use and he said he gets calls EVERY day, people demanding their ammo they paid for. ATF/FBI can't/wont help

Shevchenko

Not really and I wouldn't accept it anyway. More often than not, I don't tell the victims who I am.

Jim Browning

I have heard other scam baiters (Lewis' Tech for example) who have been going through the same trouble. It might be a new stance from YouTube. It's about as welcome as a robocall at 3am.

Jim Browning

Thanks EJ Kim, Don't worry - I'll keep on fighting. Thank you for the support. Jim

Jim Browning

Thanks Christina. My next video is about practical steps to reduce the risk. The scammers actively seek out older folks simply because some will be more vulnerable. They really don't care who they hit, just as long as they can get money. Jim

Jim Browning

And thank you for supporting me Manekicho.

Jim Browning

It's bizarre. I wish I could put a finger on just why they take these strange decisions.

Jim Browning

Does no one send you a reward for saving them thousands of $'s/£'s?? You would think they would... You are a true-life Robin Hood!! Thank you for all you do!

Scott Nelson

Youtube's finance people trying to save money before the end of Q4?

Daniel Horridge

If I may, I'd say, sponsorships aren't a bad idea. Would an appeal to YouTube change things for the channel, I wonder.

Danie George

My pleasure to be your subscriber. Thank you for all the hard work. Keep it up!

Ada Wong

This is why Google is such a piece of shit. They only want positive videos. Basically ANY negative opinion on anything other than personal is deemed controversial. Any human being with 1% heart can see what the heck Jim is doing - it is painfully obvious.

House

Keep up the effort Jim, and thank you. What cowardly wibble from YouTube. What's truly upsetting is those life-ruining fraudulent scams, not exposing them and shutting them down.

John Rutherford

You are a hero Jim, keep it up. We will keep financially supporting you. YouTube is becoming more biased and political.

EJ Kim

I am sorry YouTube is being like that. Just ran across your videos tonight. My husband's grandparents lost EVERYTHING to a scam. It devastated us to not be able to help. And just last week my father almost went to go get cards to pay his SCE bill. Luckily my mother stopped him! I am worried for my parents now, your videos are informing and I will be sharing with my dad. With those videos most likely you will be a hero again! Support you as much as we can in these times. I get minimum of 3 calls a day and its upsetting that so many are victims. Can't wait to see what you do next, unless of course the police show up for my fraudulent activity on my Social Security number, or yesterday because of my illegal customs package that was drugs and I haven't paid my fine for. Again, thank you.

Christina Egan-Reynolds

Thank YOU for what you do <3

Manekicho28

Which video got demonetized? I think google is worried that the government(Elizabeth Warren) will get on their back if they let questionable content up there.

dannydaw59

YouTube? Pah... Keep at it Jim!

Chris

also Jim, please get a sponsor deal worked out PLEASE

ArabianPrince

good morning jim , it is 4 am here in dubai and those types of calls are coming in to our country and they not only try an it scam or bank fraud, they will trick residents and citizens of the UAE to read them the OTP from their 2 step verification to access their visa, residency and citizenship records and hold them hostage and most people like in your videos are not so tech savvy, immigrants who are subdued to these scams by simple fear of sustaining their life in this country that they moved in , be it UK or Canada or whatever. and I think the abuse of expats and immigrants by these scammers draws the line for me. i have contacted every department in the UAE and showed them your videos (with arabic translations) and now we have a huge campaign with tell tale signs of a scam plastered on the biggest billboards here thank to you and to kitboga and IRLrosie and those two crazy roommates . honestly man i just enlisted as a patreon and i sproadicly watch your vids, i just want to pass to you the financial support over entertainment because your recent collab with mark rober should tell u that even the biggest and smallest and evreything in between all have a shared hatred for abuse of people with nothing to give. godd bless, love from Dubai

ArabianPrince

I wonder how a 'human' came to the conclusion that the content you posted was controversial. Of the 4 very serious and very graphic topics they've used as 'examples', every one of them is morally unjustifiable, if not down right illegal - yet shining a light on scammers and how they operate, how they think, is somehow in the same vein? I think YouTube needs to go back to the drawing board in how they categorize content, cause they've lost their minds. You're doing a public service that needs all the support it can get, and I'm proud to be one of your backers.

Myke Lastname

You're amazing Jim. Keep up the good work.

SpaceRookie

Dude, you do good work. More than happy to support you in doing what I cannot

Ryan

this is the unregulated internet people wanted

Galen Thurber

YT must have a human coma ward, if they dont respond your appeal is denied

Galen Thurber

educators, anti scammers have no power on Youtube. YT demonitizes anti COVID19 hoax content as well

Galen Thurber

Thank you patreon ! ;)

Ras

This is a joke, your videos are by far most informative from what I have seen for a long time and simply you are doing a good job confronting these assholes. I will support you on patreon, hope you will continue with thiis.

Jan Bilek

Also, btw. If you ever move to another platform, rest assured that I will follow you there. I don't know if Mastadon is an option for you guys, like all of you who do similar work in exposing scammers and such

Amit Singh Parihar

This is exactly what I was afraid of with freaking idiots giving private companies this grand sense of moral righteousness to censor people. They are freaking companies out ot make a buck and they will take down anyone who they even think that could/would expose them even 50 years from now. You are that kind of person Jim, an independent thinker who actually does what he does because you care for the people everywhere, and as long as that's true, you will always have my support.

Amit Singh Parihar

Youtube is a joke. Youtube allows awful channels like FamilyOFive aka DaddyOFive to monetize videos of literal child abuse for years, and still fail to remove reposts, but your videos educate people on how to protect themselves and vulnerable friends and family.

LizzyC

You're amazing, Jim! Is there anything we can do to try and undo YouTube's decision on this?

Nikhila

If you made the videos 18+ would that work around their excessive triggering prevention policy?

Release Dominatrix

Forum feedback: it doesn't allow carriage returns, and when I tried to edit it removed them. (The reason my post had them was that it was a paste of text, and it kept the returns in it).

Craig Browning

I just sent my feedback to YT. That's really our only recourse at this point. All they care about is dollars, so affecting their bottom line will be the only way to make them listen. WE have the power, don't forget that. A million thanks, Jim, and a big you're welcome!

Jessicah Jones

Youtube is a total POS. Expose a scammer and youtube basically sides with the scam.

John bordynuik

You're a good man, Jim.

Jason

I sent them this feedback: Jim Browning is one of the leading people who fight scammers who steal billions of dollars from victims, especially elderly people. He exposes them, he disrupts their activities, he contacts people being scammed to warn them before their give their money to scammers. It's critical activity. His only income from it is revenue from youtube videos and Patrieon. He can spend months preparing a video. He recently did that, working with a reporter from the New York Times Magazine, giving him information on a scammer. The reporter went to India to confront the scammer. The NYT Magazine did a story; Jim Browning did a video about it. Youtube bizarrely, wrongly, demonitized his video. He said he has no appeal. The reason given was that the subject matter is sensitive. This is very wrong. You need to fix your broken system. There's not much I can do as a customer except send you this feedback, but you will have someone whose loyalty you lose, who sees an important need for limiting your power and somewhat monopolistic source of online videos, if you are this irresponsible. If nothing else, I can contact Congress. Hopefully you will respond with change.

Craig Browning

You're welcome.

General Jack Ripper

Woah! just finished the article. I recommend it to everyone,! The story behind the scams.

L. Sar

I was debating cancelling my subscription but I feel like I've changed my mind. Hope the best for you.

Jack Carter

How completely fraudulent of You Tube. Perhaps you can send this "human" these comments and let them know my Father who is 90 years old has been scammed for THOUSANDS of dollars TWICE and without your videos he would have been scammed even more. It's hard enough to get him to understand that you don't trust these people BUT .. with your videos to share with him ... he is better able to understand more of what is happening as hard as it is for him to understand WHY anyone would do these things especially to the elderly on very low fixed incomes. I can't STAND the suppression of speech that Google and You Tube are in engaged in and perhaps you can let them know the incredible service you are providing .. allowing older people to NOT COMMIT suicide because they lost evey penny in their account due to these scammers. I am so mad about this. I am so sorry Jim!!! I think you should write to them and let them know how ridiculously unfair that is and that you are here to HELP people NOT be demonetized by some 25 year old in their basement who don't understand what the older generation goes through. Those who are 80+ are a trusting generation full of integrity and can NOT wrap their minds around or EVEN imagine the fact that someone would do this to them. THANKS JIM.. I've been supporting for over a year and won't stop!!

Marita Jeffrey

4:21 = "Her phone rang again.... This caller introduced himself... as Jim Browning." lol it's like you're Superman. I got goosebums when the teller said Jim Browning. Can't wait to hear what you do next. Great Podcast!

L. Sar

I definitely think it’s bullshit. Here’s their logic: “This content can be unsettling to some viewers! Instead of allowing this video to support the man who has the means to take down these bullies, let’s limit his ability to focus his time on his anti-scamming efforts. That’ll make the unsettled people feel way better!” I understand wanting to protect those who might be triggered or disturbed in some way by the content, but a simple reading of the title or description reveals that there will be subject matter having to do with bullying and scamming. Seems counter-intuitive to me. In any case, I look forward to continually supporting your efforts and wish you luck dealing with YouTube.

Peter Krumholz

I just increased my contribution. I wish I could afford more. Its an honour to be able to help in some way.

Yvonne Clark

I will raise my patrion support. I can't spare much, but I will give what I can. What you do Jim, is so importent, thank you for spending your free time on this. From my heart, thank you.

L. Sar

Fantastic outcome from Jim's vids - and well-played to you for using them to educate and inspire!

Carl Warner

100%. The value system that *should* align completely is a rejection of the random, capricious nature of the 'scammer' illegality. Sure, 'one person's terrorist is another's freedom fighter,' but the scamming that Jim exposes is legally AND ethically impossible to justify. One could make a compelling case that each individual scammer shares a low level of moral culpability based on their own personal economic circumstances, but this rarely appears to be the case - nobody thus far discovered is operating on a subsistence level. I'm stretching to breaking-point my ability to empathise with the scammers' own positions and moral choices, and increasingly dismissive of YouTube's position.

Carl Warner

have you considered locals.com?

Jeff Keys

This is an excellent point, but I can also see how frustrating it is to watch a clearly-evidenced and rigorously pursued piece of content creation end up generating less income for the uploader than something more 'vanilla'. It's nt the same, but I am reminded of the pay disparity between, say, a nurse and a YouTube 'prankster'. One is unambiguously a social good, the other is entertainment. We all know the economic complexity that underpins such inequity, but it doesn't make it any less hypocritical when platforms claim to have more noble, altruistic motives yet 'run home to momma' at the first sign that they might need to adjust their priorities. I suppose you could sum it up with an adjusted truism: 'Hey, YouTube: I honestly don't mind you pissing down my back; I know what I signed up for, and I love the cat stuff. But I'd rather you didn't do it while telling me it's raining - and banging on about how important rain is for our overall wellbeing.'

Carl Warner

This kind of abuse of their control and power is why I haven't subscribed to Youtube. When I find a new channel I like on Youtube, I always look for them on alternate platforms. I appreciate that they have controls so that an account can protect kids from some bad content, but I'd prefer if adults can make their own choice. Our individual values are never going to be 100% in line with anyone else's and for them to affect someone's ability to make a legal, honest living based on one set of values with no ability to have that decision reversed is something I would think we'd all think was unfair if China did it to their citizens, and yet here we are.

Steve Jones

Hold on now. Jim, I am thrilled with your work and exceedingly proud to support you but I see something else that has not been elaborated yet. The message from YouTube does not say the video is demonetized but rather says "it is suitable for limited ads". It also says the video deals with "topics that may be unsettling for our users". Scammers stealing from elderly is unsettling and that is why many of us are so glad to support your work. It is also why your videos get viewed at such high rates. I can't put a link in this comment but if you copy this phrase between the quote symbols into a google search "guide-to-self-certification, Advertiser-friendly content guidelines, Controversial issues" then click the first search result, scroll down to "Controversial Issues" and expand that section you should concur that focusing on details of a specific instance of a senior citizen being bullied out of money would qualify as unsettling and controversial enough to at least limit monetization. YouTube is not sheltering people from this video as confirmed by your view numbers but it just provides "Disney" advertisers a way to not associate with it which may reduce the rate of earnings from this video but still attract new subscribers and supporters. I think this video is a solid Win, Amazing, and is No cause to feel discouraged or upset at YouTube. Providing advertisers a way to control their affiliations probably attracts more advertisers in general and benefits you in the long run. Please don't turn to commercial support, I think the growth of Patreon support would be diminished. I think the fact that you have a day job benefits your credibility. In response to your warm "Thank You"... from the bottom of heart with much love and adoration... You are welcome!

Doug Betts

I had no idea you were still at your day job Jim (from looking at that graph on the main page) but glad you shared this with us. With all the useless junk that’s uploaded to youtube you’d think that they’d support and encourage work from good people like you. We’ve got your back.

RH

I’m definitely increasing my contribution also. My first thought is that the scammers are reporting your videos to get them removed or demonetized.

Dean Brown

Hey Jim, it's my first time to subscribe someone on Patreon. Amazing work, thank you for doing this, I was really tired of those "waisting scammers time videos" until I found your channel. Now I'm just patiently waiting for your work to be released, can't watch others at all. Greeting from Leicester.

Tony Lyn

Increasing my contribution. You’re doing god’s work.

Varun Santhanam

Youtube censorship. Infuriating that you have no recourse to have the decision reviewed with your side of the story.

Insider Chad

I sent "feedback" and indicated I would end my monthly subscription to YouTube should this continue to be a problem for you. I'm sure they're concerned now! 😉 But at least they know my thoughts on their "decision". Next step, unleashing a subreddit army!

Angela B

This has become our biggest issue and we must all do our part to protect those from these scammers. They are becoming increasingly bold and confident in what they do. I am hopeful that as this gets more in the public eye that people will identify these scammers and not be duped by them. I also hope that government will give this the attention that it deserves. Thank you for your hard and difficult work to prevent these scammers from reaching their goals!

Mary Torrez-Watson

Yeah I can see where protecting people from hearing verbal abuse is far more important than protecting people from the abuse itself and losing tens of thousands of dollars...Probably the scammers complained. When ever any organization gets too big they seem to lose common sense.

Light Fighter

I do not what to sound like I'm coming to YouTube defense, because I do not agree with their decision. But I think I understand it. The scammers' verbal abuse of the victims could be what they are calling controversial. Again, I do not agree, but if that is what a reviewer watched those parts, out of context, I could see how they would come to that conclusion. That said, I'm happy to support you through Patreon.

James

meh yt is just so bad now for creators since 2019 i hope u the best

Hayyan Hakeem

I’ll bet that the ‘human reviewer’ never took the time to watch even one of your videos through to its end. Perhaps the ‘human’ or ‘humans’ are under time pressure to ‘review’ x amount of videos per day, and simply watched just the opening first few seconds of lead-in. Perhaps just the word ‘scammer’ in the title or description is the basis for categorization. If the word ‘puppy’ were to be in the title or description, the decision might have been more benign. Regardless, I and your other followers know the truth and believe in your work.

Marty Jansen

Thank you for everything you do! After first watching your vids some time ago, I began regular serious conversations with my kids and students in my classes about online security and privacy...media literacy is vital now. Happy to support your work!!!

Alejandra I. Ramírez

YT can be so dumb sometimes

Darko Leskovsek

I'm also upping my subscription. I know of several You Tubers now posting their videos on YouTube and Rumble.

Usagi Koneko

The last video was not my cup of tea put in no way was it offensive. What ruffles YouMud is the scammer bulling. IMO ! It was a real scenario not a Disney carpet ride. The problem is they call the shoots and change their every time wind blows. You cannot rely upon them to feed your family.

Louis Carter

Jim I know you mentioned not making the channel "commercial" but one argument for taking on sponsorships is that companies are generally capable of paying more than individuals can. It's just an idea but perhaps it would be helpful to take on sponsorships from companies you think fit the channel and believe in!

Sergio

I'd say the most shocking thing about this post is that Jim still has a day job! Yet the kids playing among us and minecraft are in multi million dollar gamer complexes in LA...

Sergio

That is just crazy. How did a human reviewer watch any of your videos and come up with that determination? How did they not watch others of your vids and not cry as you helped someone NOT lose money to a scammer. I wonder what country their reviewers are based in? Just wow.Keep up the good work and glad I can help in a very small way. Wish I could afford more.

Fred Leisentritt

That’s a shame. But rest assured myself and others will continue to support you in this battle.

Rev Me Bro

thats insane.. Im not going to quote the disgusting and useless content on youtube that actually resembles that decision.. but i highly doubt that was human reviewed, and if it was.. probably by an Indian snowflake.

Zoo Archer

I haven't read all the comments above so maybe somebody mentioned it before, but did you consider posting your videos on Nebula in addition to YouTube? Some of the Youtubers I follow are also on that platform.

Jonathan Caron

Its a travesty that real proactive information sharing channels like yours are targeted for financial starvation . However I have a very good feeling you will get heaps of positive advice and help from all the contacts you have made through your selfless work and spring forward from this glitch. And seriously Jim you know you are a success when a the Bigboys are scared of what you are doing. Warmest regards Big G

JediBhuddist

You're doing great work Jim, I'm very happy to be able to support your efforts. More power to your elbow. Y

Karel Osten

Chances are the scammers have been swinging on the YouTube complaints button in an effort to take you down, and the same Big Tech "moderators" responsible for allowing through covid deniers and 5G conspiracy nonsense (amongst a very large amount of other online idiocy that has been allowed to proliferate in recent years) have folded under the pressure of their complaints. The whole system needs a bit of a review, quite frankly! But please keep up the good work, Jim. Fantastic work very much required, while we wait endlessly for the people who should be dealing with these scammers to get their acts together...

Chris Iveson

Perhaps scammers reported the video as inappropriate, that's why it was flagged.

Patreon sucks

Happy to help Jim, Youtubes policy's are atrocious, you aren't the only content creator / public service hero that tries to help and educate people that I watch who gets demonetized for bizarre reasons.

Kris

I only give a small amount each month but I see it as a charity donation and I know 100% of the money goes to helping the one person who puts the time and effort into the videos. It’s a public service you provide and it’s money well spent by me. I will continue to support you while you keep making these excellent videos. Thank you back.

Dave Stowell

That is so sad. I think about how YouTube suspended my account for abusive language which I know was not true. But we just have to hang in there and hope for the best. Just know that we love you very much and are in your corner always 💞

Stephanie Humphries

You've done so much good, you're fighting the good fight. As usual, youtube disappoints.

Robert Brown

That exact video was the one that inspired me to become a contributor just yesterday. I'm very disappointed in youtube but not surprised. I watched that video and thought "this man is a hero! I want to help!" meanwhile a youtube employee watched it and decided... ugh. They are just the worst sometimes.

AndrewAndKiah

I extremely rarely write any comments to anything online but for you Jim I will make an exception. You do exceptionally good work. Please, PLEASE keep this up!

Henrik Hermansson

That's really stupid of YouTube. Don't they want to be on the right side of cybercrime?

Doug Edworthy

I quit YT long time ago:-) I pay for content but not by watching ads, so I doubled my pledge as well.

YouTube is getting effing ridiculous, how did a HUMAN watch that video and think it was any of those things...

Joseph Brzezinski

We have got you back pal !

Albert Foley

This is a disgrace Jim !

Albert Foley

This is the reason I started pledging to Patreon in the first place. To support creators where Youtube doesn't. Keep up the good work Jim!!!

Bethakachutney

Thanks for doing great work. I have upgraded my tear.

Rolandas

You are the hero, Jim!!

Jan Schroeder

You do great work. I am upping my contribution to gold.

The utter stupidity and downright suspicious nature of YouTube’s so called ‘findings’ never cease to amaze. I am simply glad to have the opportunity to support you.

Anita Davidson

I wish I could help more :(

Thank you for your good work. My subscription doesn’t say much, but just know you are the only content creator I am subscribed to. Your content is both essential (to create awareness and combat these scammers) and inspiring (inspired me to study a master degree in cyber Security). So this little subscription is my little way of thanking you for your dedication and hard work. Keep up the good work!

RJ

Try censoring their faces with a funny image like a villain from a Disney movie. Surely it will become less controversial..

Drey

You are doing great things. Pls know that what you do helps people. Will continue the support!

veeraya kaewwilai

Just upped my subscription too on the back of this. I know you weren't asking for people to do that but I truly believe you deserve the support people are giving you and I speak for most when I say how much we appreciate the hard work you go to to expose these scammers and keep us all safe!

Mario Sarno

I'll support you for as long as my economy allows me to. You're a hero. Heroes need support. Stay safe Jim.

Angelo Corona Mazzei

Keep up the good work Jim! I really hope YouTube would see the value in what you're doing. Not sure what, in that video, was deemed inappropriate.

Bryan Frear

Keep doing what you do mate, fighting the good fight!

Loukas Pour-Hashemi

I'm sure if you had a higher Patreon tier, there would be people willing to pay more to support you. Keep up the good work!

Camble

I assume all the complaints came from the scammers, who all know you. I’m 78 years old and a favorite target but luckily know enough not to get scammed thanks to you and your videos. It should be required watching for all us oldies. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Martha Taylor

I guess it happens because you use "illegal" methods to gain control of their computer. Then it is in the grey area. Or does it not happen to all where this is the case?

Bjørn T.

Jim.. Have you considered just "using" YouTube - Posting lots of entertaining but short videos which push people here for concusions and longer videos!

Tripodski

Thank you as well, Jim. I really appreciate all your efforts and works.

yoake55

Keep up the good work Jim. Raising my subscription to keep you active.

Richard Jeffery

Hey Jim, keep up the fantastic work! Any content that highlights these despicable scammers should be encouraged on all video sharing platforms. Sad to hear that YouTube have demonetised some of your videos. Especially since it was decided upon by a actual human. Increasing my subscription to help you carry on. Anything else we can do to help please let us know.

Daniel Stenson

I have just increase my monthly subscription as I am passionate about what you do. Watching you saving people potentially losing money to scammers is truly heartwarming. Equally, using your expertise to raise awareness and report them, with evidence, to the relevant authorities is essential. What you do is invaluable, so please don't ever stop. Stay safe and keep fighting the cause! 👍👍👍👍

Harris Ballan

Its cause of a complant contest it and see what happens. Im sure by now the scammers will report ur vids if they all report the same thing im pretty sure it gets a auto demo so contest it bro and see what happens

J D

Rumble has a monetisation scheme for videos. It's growing rapidly as a platform. More and more people are migrating there because of what Youtube is doing. It would probably be a good idea to move there now. Keep posting your videos on Youtube for a few months, but always add a section telling people to view them on Rumble until they've migrated too.

Hugh Jardon

Well, social media is a scam, just not directly to the users (maybe to some degree?), but to the creators...

Mariusz Chrobak

I'am glad to help, keep up your amazing work!

Lillan62

Agree with Brian, I would follow Jim's content on other platforms too

Mantas

Truly appreciate what you do Jim. Glad that I can help in any way I can. Please keep up the fight. 👍

Ronald Gomes

Don't let YouTube grind you down Jim. The work you do is hugely inspiring and important. Please let us all know if we can ever do anymore to support your vital mission. Keep safe and strong.

David Lee

Thank you right back, Jim! Being a patron has been worth every penny, especially as you keep finding innovative new ways to get exposure for this issue and do collaborations with Youtubers/journalists.

Rebecca

YouTube...

GamerForLifeDrakunia

Truly appreciate your work. I'm just starting to build my youtube channels and already running into issues so I can only imagine what you go through.

Don

I'm hearing this from more and more YouTube creators. I follow Rick Beato, who creates highly insightful and educational content about music, and he regularly comments about demonetisation of his videos due to supposed copyright infringement. Bottom line seems to be, it's not economical for YouTube to be in any way accurate or flexible with this sort of thing...it would cost them too much to investigate every video so they err on the side of caution and make it difficult/impossible to appeal. With any luck, another platform will ultimately emerge that deals with these issues better. The fact that patreon exists demonstrates that there are people out there who are willing to pay for quality content and back people who do good work - like you. Keep it up, Jim!

Pat Fox

YouTube being YouTube. Keep doing what you do and the amount of people that support you will keep growing. I just up'd my subscription like many other people did. Keep up the great work. Cheers from Portugal and thanks!

Mário Rui Santos

Honestly Jonathan, this was never intended to be a begging post - it's a simple thank you for the support - I really did not intend that it looked like that. However, I appreciate the (increased) support.

Jim Browning

Really appreciate your videos. Hoping you find a way to keep going despite YouTubes efforts against you.

roy rilo

Many thanks for your insight into these scams. Greatly appreciated!

Roddy Reavis

I just up'd my subscription as well. Your work is really important. Awesome content, and too important for it not to be supported.

Jeff Estoll

I like how this is considered controversial, yet they allow adverts on crypto channels that involve stealing people's crypto currency. Have you thought about also showing on LBRY. I'd be more than happy to tip you on there.

Brian John Robinson

You tube is out of control, if anything for what your doing they should be paying you. Keep it up and I’ll up my subscription as well.

Sean Templeton

I'm not active in your community but I really love your content and really want you to be able to keep doing what you're doing and if you ever get in a spot where you're not able to sustain this anymore I really hope you'll let us know, I'll be happy to support a go fund me or something if it'll help.

Andrew Becker

This human reviewer found that this is a good moment to increase my pledge

Qauthar Saleh

Maybe the same peope are reviewing these videos who also conduct the scams as a 2nd job :)

Zsolt Petrik

Just up'd my subscription, you're doing just and meaningful work worth patronage in the truest sense of the word

Jonathan Duffin

How ridiculous- seems that You Tube is something of a scammer themselves. Something tells me that, somehow, You Tube is still managing to make money off your content........ Maybe a few you tubers can pull a class action lawsuit together? Can you maybe think about crowdfunding specific campaigns or something? I’m an accountant by trade, I don’t know anything about marketing etc, but I know how to help develop/ run a business (been a Finance Business Partner for 15 years)- happy to contribute any of my skills that you may need?

Lorna Mangan

I am glad to help Jim! I appreciate what you are doing and continue to do. Youtube is ridiculous these days. If you ever want to switch over to a live stream situation! I imagine you would be extremely successful on Twitch. Just a suggestion. You could stream editing your videos and just talking about it and would make enough to quit your job and youtube. I follow Kitboga and he has 10 to 15 thousand viewers on every stream and everyone knows you. I am also a streamer "guitarist, cooking, games". I would be happy to help if you ever want to try it out. Love your work Jim! Wish you the best!! 🤟😎🎸

MetaleX music

Put simply good things happen to good people. Keep up the fight, I will support you every step

Mike

You are the star and as a security muppet I applaud the work you're doing and will keep supporting you. Thanks Jim!

Andreas Hedberg

This is shocking, what you do is provide a good amount of information to help stop scams, which potentially saves thousands of people from losing so much. Ive never understood YouTube as its not consistent and can see why there would be hesitation to quit your day job. Thank you for continuing to do what you do though, learning what scams are out there and knowing people like you are trying to stop them is something I'd definitely prefer to see more of on YouTube. keep up your amazing work 💙
