The SaveTheKids project didn't last very long, but it sure raised a lot of eyebrows. The immediate red flags such as the presentation, roster of so-called "ambassadors", the oddly similar visual identity to Save The Children, were enough to put people in a state of caution, but unfortunately many were still fooled into investing their hard earned money in this scam. The website has evaporated, tweets have disappeared, and so far, months after, it is still unclear who exactly was behind it and what the decision-making hierarchy looked like behind the scenes. Frazier Kay, ex-Faze member, Sam Pepper and Jordan Galen have been exposed by youtubers Coffeezilla and SomeOrdinaryGamers to be the main culprits. Even so, the blame-shifting is strong between them, and it doesn't seem likely that we'll have a clear picture of it all anytime soon.

How does Faze have any ounce of credit? they been memed over and over from the montage parody days. That's almost over 10 years

It's just scary to think that a lot of the influencers who were involved with this, knew it was a scam, but still went along with it.
Lol i was first to one of his comments
Here before this blows up
Yea its scary
Should I grow a mustach
@@erenjeager4634 yes
I legit thought the Save The Kids logo was the Save The Children logo so at the start of the video I thought the ones who didn't save kids was the latter, until you reminded they were two different entities. Makes me realise how easy can it be to fall for such things
Yep, same, and this happens ALL the time with other charities. You have to be really careful.
same here
I thought so too. I didn’t understand they were two different organizations as the logos were so similar and the name. I definitely think “save the children” could sue for being infringed upon. As it confuses the audience and may make people think that they are doing shady things.
@@milld9345 I think it would be a mistake if Save the Children DIDN'T try to sue, something like this could destroy their reputation with people who don't know any better look how many people in Andrei's comments alone thought it was them
I thought it was going to be about Christmas Jumper Day
Fun fact: I forgot that Faze Clan even existed until this situation happened.
I only know they exist because they teamed up with Dhar Mann and now I know why they did it.
They did it to cleanse themselves of their sins.
They're the sorta group that you forget about until they end up in some sorta controversy
Uhmmm... ok?

"The road to hell is paved by good intentions" I always hate it when people use good reasons to cover up a bad cause. Truly shows how low some people can fall.
Nice sounding words, yes, but not good reasons, as the reasons were always their own wallets.
@Charley Bow He's a big Chungus.
That's... that's not what that means.
Most of the people in this didn't have good intentions, most of them knew it was a scam and went along with it.
@@MissNotorials I'm saying the people that paid for this had good intentions. Not the creators lol
The first part was about the people and the second part about the people who lied.
@@ajtalkitive4884 Why would they go to Hell? They literally did nothing wrong lol.

Its a meme and its quite popular
“Drawed”?

I just want to thank to Andrei for everything he has done so far. I am just one of his many viewers he may never notice however he played a hug role in my childhood helping build individual opinions and start thinking for myself not following the public opinion. Thank you for everything!

I didn’t even know about this save the kids thing but thank you Andre for making a video about this because you give people information that we could research but you also add a form of entertainment and I and everyone that’s subbed appreciate the effort you put into educating us about these important topics.
"All the while this ambitious-sounding project named 'Save The Kids' did not actually save one single kid." That's a plot twist alright.... 0_0

@@commentingaccount556 its not just a lack of honor and empathy but also humanity
@@hahayes8082 true
A lot of people will do anything for money
@@YoMateo. your content is trash
Someone really said the moral of the story is "Don't Save the Kids"
eh ignore them, they're a moron swimming in the milky way pond
In my opinion, I feel like the thumbnail should have graves behind the SaveTheKids logo and a sketchy guy next to the logo, while you're on the other side of the logo with a magnifying glass.
Because:
1. The project could have been used to save lives, but since it sounds like they're not following their intentions, it's causing unnecessary suffering of people who will likely never reach the age of 18.
2. The sketchy guy representing the corruption that has taken this project and twisted its intentions to benefit only the people hosting the project.
3. You with the magnifying glass represents you willing to take your time to find evidence, and expose the corruption that is taking place on the internet.
PS: I had this idea because I like symbolism. But this kind of thumbnail popped into my head while watching it. Hope you enjoyed reading it if you decide to read this.
Note to self: don't get involved in any program that has RiceScam as it's central initiator

@@gokukakarot3530 and scam.
I've never followed the guy, I didn't even know he's become synonymous with online scams. That kinda sucks, especially if he did it deliberately, knowing they were scams the whole time.
@@WobblesandBean he didn’t him and Jake Paul did one thing and he had no idea it was a scam lmao same for this one Kay just told him to hop in on it
Andrei looks like the guy who looks outside out of his balcony 1/2 of his day.
I like this idea
How do you know what he looks like
@@Iamsuntzu you're right. its not like he has an animated character or something lmao.
This kind of reminds me of a current bit of "Lore" going on in Hermitcraft, where EvilX has this similar "Currancy" called "Save The Striders". Perhaps this was XisumaVoid's inspiration for it
Cant imagine being a commentary-animation youtuber, like youre supposed to animate a full 10mins+ video combined with the research for the vid's topic meanwhile having it all out and ready while having the subject still being topical

SaveTheKids sounds like the kind of thing that your grandma would buy for your birthday thinking it was Save The Children.
"Pump and dump" also means, if you are breastfeeding and want to drink a little booze, you pump, after you drink, and then dump it, so no alcohol goes to baby. Well, that's how it was back in my day but my daughter said, the doctor said you don't have to anymore, or something

This reminds me of the litecoin pump and dump of late 2017 thru early 2018. Lite coin went from $4 to over $300, then immediately dumped to below 75% of its value and stayed that way for nearly 2 years.

Is it just me, or has RiceGum not recieved ANY attention from the comtroversy? All the videos i've seen on this situation seem to point towards FaZe and only FaZe, despite Rice being the most controversial of the "ambassadors"

So that's where Xisuma got the idea for Save The Strider Derpcoins. Interesting...
Yep..
Of course, his nickname is Evil X now.
I remember when he had 300k now he's at almost 3m.
Why did i NOT get the notification f9r this video??
This was very very informative, compact and interesting to watch.
I would love a video about collectables (not just the hype regarding Pokémon), and their place in the financial space. Do you believe that can rival NFT/Crypto, or are they two different entities operating separate from each other?
I love the way how Andrei thanks the sponsorS of the video☺️☺️

Buy when prices are Low

I remember how savethekids would do fundraisers in my school, I had heard it was a scam and didn't participate and people judged me for it (although \i may have initiated the conversation that it was a scam), Im glad I didnt help them
It's a good thing Andrei does videos on these things because I love under a rock and I don't want anyone to find out
