PARENTS' WORST NIGHTMARE: Jake Paul
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- Jake Paul content is illegal to broadcast in the US, UK, and EU. Look inside the mind and merch operation of a social media mogul.
Sponsor: skl.sh/nerdcity2 - 2 free months
Due to regulations being stricter for children's content, most broadcasters are very careful when stating what demographic a show is intended for.
Jake Paul says that his target demo is ages 8-16.
Jake, his brother Logan Paul, and his Team 10 employees regularly collaborate with family channels and babies who make content for the UA-cam Kids app.
According to the American Psychological Association, younger viewers are uniquely vulnerable to advertising, and have difficulty distinguishing between fantasy and reality.
Jake spends up to 50% of his videos doing ad reads and plugs for his products, and using "pester power" to sell products.
The content on Jake Paul Vlogs features violent and sexual content not suitable for ages 13 and below.
Jake Paul's merch is littered with clip-art.
His new "high-end" fashion line ("rise and Be Original") RNBO uses free font CharBB as the logo.
You can hire Jake Paul to say things for you.

Your dad is dumb
Agreed
Rusty Cage my dad would blindfold and kiss you if I told him you said that about him.
Dumb?! I'll have you know my dad knows every NASCAR driver's birthday AND shoe size by heart. I bet you feel like a dingus right about now.
Oh man I had a feeling you were going to be in a Nerd City vid. AWESOME
my dad is a race car driver thank you very much
Turns out this guy was spot on...targeted advertising to kids is illegal, now UA-cam is paying the price and so is all of the children’s channels.
How is youtube paying?
@@errata they ain't getttin' ads, that mean no cash for youtube and the youtubers!
@@recreationalelmersglue6053 yeah, true, but at the end of the day, they still lose money, insignificant as it is. Also if you were rich, it would still suck to lose 10k, which could have been used for merch making, and making the content """""""better""""""" for the kids. Its a small victory, but a victory nonetheless!
@@recreationalelmersglue6053 well atleast youtube is getting a beating aswell for promoting this fuckhead irresponsibly
Can you link me where you saw this?
Watching those kids think Jake was actually dead went from hilarious to disconcerting to very sad extremely fast
"It's not fake."
"I'll call the cops."
I winched.
Vinesauce Obscurities i see u r also a worshipper of Binyot
That's the parents responsibility
@@UnsubscribeProductions harsh. Not untrue though.
Imo, It's not only sad but it's sickening.
children are EXTREMELY vulnerable, gullible and innocent, and those videos only prove that further and the fact that he probably knows this (and knows that he has a young audience, HE SAID IT HIMSELF!!!...) but continues to do this type of content is just... Wow.
I don't blame the children's parents. Parenting is hard and sometimes if there's a simple "trusting" way to make it easier then with most parents they'll take that chance considering how busy parenting in general is, which further makes me think it's sickening that he's doing this... Most parents don't have time to check out on their kids and see what they're watching until they do and/or say something that older more sensible people will find "bad" and that's where the questions come in: "where did you learn that from?!" "How could you say something like that?!" Etc, etc. And he takes hardcore advantage of this. now, most advertising does this as well but to this extent?
So yeah, Jake Paul is a bad person and he should be stopped. *Like now.*
this was way more entertaining than the fight and you didnt charge 10 dollars for us to watch. epic
QuackityHQ ikr
QuackityHQ it’s the which left guy
See you on the raid
ily quak
Say the phrase
"He's my hero. And my best friend."
That... that shattered my brick of a heart. That poor kid is clearly pretty lonely, and the idea that they found a "friend" in Jake Paul of all things is really upsetting.
Legit very sad , you can tell these kids just need someone and the only one they have is a shitty youtuber.
What I found to be extremely sad was the girl who was sitting on her bed saying Jake was like her dearest person while having a picture of both her parents in the back . That must be like a sla in the face
WTF his mother is just as creepy as his father!? This all makes so much more sense as to why they're all so twisted
yea i scrolled down the comments and saw yours and I thought to myself
nah how can she top the creppy balding pedo
after the mom segment of the vid I wanted to throw up
Just when we thought the family couldn't get any crazier lol
I feel a little sorry for him. Only a little.
If your from the midwest you should never get rich.
The dark parts of your mind will manifest with the money.
i used to like the mother. i thought she was an adorable old lady. and then i saw this and now im kind of disgusted.
Yo that montage of kids concerned about the kidnapping prank was seriously disturbing
Mikey Squeeze and you know his whole team was dying laughing at all those videos.
Disturbing how brain dead they are
@@experssion123 theyre kids, theyre mentally incapable of figuring its a shitty joke for publicity
@@frosty925 I'm pretty sure he meant the Paul's and their employees, not the kids
@@JaredConnell on alright thatd make a lot ta sense
⚠️ REQUIRED VIEWING FOR ALL OF UA-cam
Thanks for stopping by, Anna!
So we won't repeat history. *INDEED*
@SpankMeSanta her channel flopped
BRUH
You guys helped me help my dad: he shared a traumatic memory about promising not to ask his mom for anything at a toy store (age 5-7ish) and begging and crying for stuff anyway. He thought this was him being horrible and materialistic even though he was literally a child, and the fact this video had taught me about pester power and predatory advertising and how vulnerable kids brains are did EVERYTHING to change that. Thank you.
Interesting anecdote; that's really sad. Thank you for sharing that though, it feels good to hear it was useful
Jake’s Cousin: displays actual intelligence, seems to be a decent, normal human being
Jake’s mom: I THOUGHT IT WAS SEXY
the look she gives his mum at the end sums it up... that poor girl, she's sixteen and already seems like she's by far the most mature person in that family
m.ua-cam.com/video/ye5BuYf8q4o/v-deo.html how has no one made this joke yet?
His mom is as twisted as him
That woman is thirsty as hell

Yes
No

Same level, different game
Makes me so sad that instead of growing up with Mr. Rogers, Sesame Street, or even Nickelodeon/Cartoon Network, they get Jake Paul and the Internet uncensored and all.
Joe King Jesus Christ man... you’re right, how far we’ve fallen :/
how will they explain it to their kids?
At least I'm 12 and I grew up with Cartoon Network.
@CatandBonez you don't know the definition of word pedophile, do ya?
Chowder and Marvelous Misadventures of flapjack are the stuff, fuck this cringe ass bitch
The Paul family's mother is easily one of the most...disturbing, creepy people I've ever had the displeasure of looking at.
Her demeanor, her facial expressions, her voice, her eyes. Everything about that woman just creeps me the fuck out on a level I can't describe.
I hesitate to call her disgusting, but from a certain perspective, I guess she is.
She's only 10% of the energy mommy-o-five radiates
i dont know, maybe you need to get out more. theres way creepier people out in the world for real.
shes a bit outrageous but hardly the most disturbing out there.
c'mon...
You literally just described the average white woman age 65
@@funkymachineLOL
All the screaming and crying babies in this video, a sound evolutionarily designed to cause anxiety, are less physiologically stress-inducing than the clips of Jake Paul doing basically anything. Lmao etc
True af lol
I agree! Also... There's this nauseous feeling...
Seeing Jake Paul gives me flash backs to fifty shades because both are terrible
Jenny Nicholson is here?!!! Are the theme parks all closed today?!!LOL
Is she commenting from the line for Space Mountain? ❤️❤️❤️❤️
oh my god, I didn't even notice that!

Also... Parents don't care what their kids watch, so long as I'm the surface it looks okay.
Imma like just to make this 667
It’s not entirely there fault tho yeah it’s irresponsible to leave your kid to just watch UA-cam but they should be on UA-cam kids and this shit shouldn’t be on it

As a mom, this is infuriating. Jake Paul interacting with the babies literally made me nauseous.
me too. i cant keep watching... not the babiessss! !!!!
It just felt so wrong.
As human, it pissed me off. That was disgusting, but I am disgusted with the parents of the babies even more since there is a good chance they okayed Jake’s content. Otherwise we would have heard about lawsuits brought up against him, but nothing has happened thus far.
I am not even a mom, and I found that disgusting. I don't understand the parents of these babies that they "okayed" this. Are they so fame hungry? I can not understand this at all.
As a mom you know better than to have your kids star in a Jake Paul video. Why would anyone do that other than to make money off of their child? Which, by the way, is illegal.
Damn the jake Paul will die part REALLY highlights that kids just don’t comprehend these videos and how messed up it is to plant everything he does into their minds
Your content is WAY too good for this website, hot damn
Wow Maz, wasn't expecting you here
Wasn't expecting to see u here
TheAMaazing your amazing
Shane Dawson wishes he could make an exposé of this caliber. I was genuinely stunned at this guy's points and supporting evidence in this video. Very, very well done.
TheAMaazing yes.................. Nuff said
This is easily one of the best UA-cam videos we'll see this year.
Hey, it's ya boy.
Damn right! Can't wait to see the media shit storm this kicks up around the Pauls...
Your vids are cool gus
Agreed funny comediean
1. Big fan
2. You never answered my question from the "cigarettes" video.
3. Best video this year, unless we get Content Cop from iDubbz that actually about Jeg Pool this time.
This is criminally underwatched.
not surprising. he is criticizing youtube's most beloved money making puppets, of course youtube wouldn't promote the video in any way
This dude has one of the best styles I've ever seen on youtube, and I've been on this dumpster site since it started. It's actually really impressive the amount of production quality and creativity that goes into this stuff. I'm not surprised he only uploads once every 120 years.
Thank you, Dennis.
Off topic, but your avatar from Always Sunny is being used by Insane People’s Tweets. (The only good Twitter account.)
@@nerdcity I'll check it out. Lookin forward to your next video man. I'm sure Logan's little brother will provide plenty of content after April 17th.
@@nerdcity have you changed your upload schedule to only on leap years now?
This 40 minute video gave me more info than Shanes 8 part documentary
You mean advertisement of Jake Paul?
@Davis O'Brien Well actually sociopathy is not a dated classification. The "psychologists" you're referring to are simply those who made the DSM and they have been heavily criticised for their classifications. The DSM is heavily flawed and vastly imperfect. Sociopathy, and especially psychopathy, are very different to ASPD, they just have a common part which is the anti social tendencies. Thankfully the DSM is always changed and improved.
@Davis O'Brien Did you read my comment? I know they don't, but that doesn't mean they're not real. The DSM is literally a bunch of people sitting around and deciding what they think is best. It does not represent the overall academic opinion or what the research shows. Read my comment again
@Davis O'Brien There is still a ton of research being done everyday on sociopathy and psychopathy. It is not the case that they are 'not a thing anymore'. They just simply aren't separate mental disorders in the DSM that can be diagnosed by a psychologist at this point. That's literally it. It doesn't mean they don't exist anymore. Also, it makes sense they wouldn't be included for now because a psychopathy diagnoses is complicated and requires rigorous expensive testing such as a variety of brain scan tests.
@Davis O'Brien Bruh, that's like saying rain doesn't exist because it's not on some random meteorologist's list. Not being on a list doesn't make something not real, like being on a list doesn't make it real.
As a parent I was in tears at how those innocent and gullible children were distressed.
Same, that was honestly really upsetting.
Yeah, I think I could’ve cried, Idk...
Wtffff what kind of shit parent even lets their baby within arms reach of someone like Jake Paul?! 😩
God me too!!! I had to fast forward I was getting so irritated..
@@ambers628 couldn't agree more. Reasons why my kid will not have access to UA-cam. At all. There's no telling wtf they're going to find
You know, I'm really sick of all the "JAKE PAUL EXPOSED" videos that have been done over and over again, but this one was something else. You brought up a lot of great points nobody has talked about in depth yet. I knew his content was fucked up, but I didn't realize it was this bad. Great video.
He's showcasing the laws he is breaking
Yeah I kinda groaned when I first saw the thumbnail of this video, but Nerd City is one of my favorite channels so I had to watch it and holy crap it was so good and way more than just rehashing the same talking points of everyone else.
Yeah, like I knew nothing about the whole baby exploitation thing, so messed up
Because commentary channels are fucking shit. Watching one of their videos is the equivalent of watching paint drying, you learn nothing but the obvious.
How could you not know these points though? Jake Paul is a money hungry piece of shit and will do anything for money. Every time he says merch he means give me money.
All these kids are so innocent and sweet. They're very sincere. I hope all their parents have started shielding them from internet toxicity by now.
The amount of time spent making this is absurd. This man is why patreon is built for creators, support this son of a gun

Man, that whole immediate family is fighting tooth and nail for that one shared brain cell between them.
You mean the one cell that doesn't even exist? :s
Best.... Comment.... Ever.
That “brain cell” is most likely just a image of a plant cell cut out of some middle schooler’s homework.
Let's not pretend they're dumb. That's what manipulative, exploitative assholes want you to think. None of this bullshit is an accident and acting like they just somehow fell into millions of dollars through idiocy lets them off the hook.
A J I get the feeling that the parents are dumb but yeah jake and Logan are pretty smart
Imagine being one of those babies and growing up and your parents are like “oh yeah you met Jake Paul when you were a baby” and they show you the video of this creep screaming in your face. Then suddenly you realise that blonde monster that you wake up from terrified in your sleep in a cold sweat has a name.
I do work at a thrift/charity shop in London and I can say from first hand experience that we legally cannot sell Jake Paul merch because of all the stolen artwork. It falls into the same category as pirated dvds or any other counterfeit product.
little bitch macadamia holy shit, that’s wild. That doesn’t surprise me though, he seems like the kind of guy who would steal art work or commission an artist in exchange for ‘exposure’. What a scumbag.
Do you get a lot of it?
Oof. That sure might decrease business. At least you don't support theft.
@@danielplusben we haven't gotten Jake Paul merch through too often. It's only been 2 occasions where a bunch got donated at once by somebody.
How can it be stolen if it's public domain/royalty free imagery? Not defending him at all, he's a predatory scumbag who sees children as objects to be used instead of actual human beings. But I thought the whole point was that he was lazily adding free-to-use stock photos to get away with having shitty unoriginal merchandise
This is the closest we'll be getting to a real Jake Paul content cop
ツTara better then content cop
Better than content cop ngl
Finally, my hatred of the Paul brothers is backed by science.
I'd say it's law not science
Same! Psychology of development of children is the science that backed the laws that were put in to protect children. So law and science! :)
I’m always impressed on how beautiful your videos of morally ugly people are , but it’s the audio richness & quality that makes me come back and rewatch them. 🙂

I find it fascinating how JP later would attack Cody Ko for "being a bully", while he was literally chasing toddlers, trying to make them cry.
Cody really embarrassed him though, didn’t he? LOL
@@youaskthedevil it was glorious
He's truly the master at projecting.
@Bored Again jake is deadass the reason i started watching
He called the whole "unfair advertising and data collection on kids" over a year before it happened. Epic.
Difference: He did it reasonably.
The whole reason child protection regulations were made online, years ago, was because of online corporations starting to gather childrens data and sell it. These things never change.
Imagine growing up and your hero is Jake Paul
For real tho those kids were so innoccent and distressed it's honestly exploitation. He needs to be stopped

This is the most thoughtful and well reasoned argument against Jake Paul I have seen yet. Too bad it doesn't have enough sexual depravity and cringe for his audience to tune in
I saw a kid wearing Jake Paul’s merch on my first day back to school, I’m happy to say he was bullied.
One of the most well designed and high quality content creaters
Agreeing with an arguement that Jake Paul is bad because he manipulates his audience, and then in the same breath berating his audience for being stupid for liking him is...a very confusing approach.
Children don't respect logic but they do respect peer pressure.

don't feel bad, literally any somewhat same person would want to get those kids as far away from him as possible asap
to be fair, getting mad at a grown man tormenting and exploiting literal infants for money is a perfectly reasonable reaction if you're someone who gives even a single shit about the well-being of kids
Thank god I am not alone

I'm writing a research paper for my uni's writing class about manipulative marketing towards children on the internet, and this video's been a fantastic help in my research. Thanks Nerd City for the top notch content, you covered this topic way better than I ever could.
Best of luck with your assignment! I tried to link some sources in the description that might come in handy as well.
@@nerdcity you might also do an investigation on Guava Juice and Collins Key. They show similar characteristics with Jake Paul, even down to the advertisements taking up much of their videos. Both UA-camrs' merch are DIY/craft related, but they advertise them in a similar fashion. When I saw Jake Paul shill out his merch within his video, it reminded me heavily of how Guava Juice advertised his merch.
You might be familiar with the Mystery Brand scandal that Jake Paul and Ricegum were involved in. Guava Juice also participated in this Mystery Brand scam (you might have known this from Ricegum's """""apology""""" video). That is how I knew about his shady advertisements masquerading as kid's content. While watching a video covering his shady behavior, I had come across moments where he showed some very irresponsible behaviors similar to those of the Paul Brothers. His actions include: violently beating up boxes that he had explicitly stated to his kid viewers to contain living dogs (a ripoff of a sketch from a UA-camr named jacksfilms, a channel geared towards teens and adults), buying "mystery boxes" from the "Deep" Web (you know, that place that was very well known for child porn, illegal drugs, and "red rooms"/snuff films), and treating a thousand dollars as if it were just pocket change during one of his controversial "Mystery Brand" videos.
As for Collins Key, his constant advertising came in the form of a "banner"-ish ad that takes up a good chunk of the screen. His videos would consist of him and "his brother Devin" trying to do an arts and crafts project (usually slime) with "Devin" trying to do the project and Collins acting like JoJo Siwa. The video would stop constantly to have the "brothers" pull out a "challenge" where kid viewers had to press the "Subscribe" button and Bell icon within 5 seconds in order to "win the challenge". Sounds manipulative enough, but it gets much worse from here: he would also hold a challenge where children had to "pause the video" and text a code word to a (premium text) number in order to "win" a 15 minute conversation with Collins and "Devin". A UA-camr texted that number and it replied (with an automatic message) that texting this number will result in the phone receiving marketing texts unless the person replied "STOP", obviously resulting in premium charges to the parent's cell phone plan. If the person replied "STOP", however, the person receives a custom text message starting with "Collins Key-" and telling the recipient that Collins himself is upset that they have been unsubscribed to the channel and that they must text that number back if they want to come back into his "inner circle".
This challenge caught me off guard as it looked like something that belonged on American Idol, Deal or No Deal, or any tv show/program meant for adults 18-21 and older, not a UA-cam channel geared towards children. I was surprised, as you might be that this didn't get a massive mainstream media coverage as this practice had been outlawed in the mid-to-late 90s, at least in the US. Before then, you had scam commercials that would tell children to dial a 1-900/976 number so they can talk to either a fictional character (usually Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny) or a famous celebrity/music group at the time (I could only think of New Kids on the Block at this moment) airing alongside the other commercials that would air alongside their usual Saturday Morning cartoons.
You can check up with a UA-camr named NerdECrafter, she has a lot of experience with Guava Juice and Collins Key's shenanigans and has done a video on both of their shady behaviors.
I am writing a paper about how aggressive and unethical influencer marketing is and this has also been a large help in writing my paper.
@@ahniandfriends123 Jesus Christ you did a lot of research for this comment.How about you turn it into a video or maybe Nerd City will make one and shout you out.Yeah and I never got that.Devin makes a piece of art but Collins is a dumbass.Prob so the kids like Collins and how childish he is so they will sub to have a laugh.And about Guava Juice,all I know that he is a 3am asshole who also clickbaits.So you are right.These to remind me of someone.Collins looks a lot like this guy.Ah shit,its Jake Paul.

@@redy2098 he was recommended to me by Turkey Tom, He also make 1 hour long UA-cam related videos.
I also recommend another channel called Ordinary Things. The first video I watched that was made by this guy is called “ The business of Nestlé ”. If you have a channel that you wanna tell me about, I’ll check it out when I get the chance to :)
@@annon9269 Thank you, i'll check him out. I'm already subscribed to Ordinary things though. i reccomend checking out Internet historian, every single one of his videos is 10/10, but i assume you know him sice they have done sevral colabs together
Aside from the fact that this video is incredibly well made, you deserve some serious recognition for undoubtedly killing your throat from speaking in that voice for so long!
Pewdiepie really did a great job promoting this channel...
This was absolute gold...
Thank you Mayank, glad you’re here!
The reactions from the children to the 'hostage' situation really break my heart every time. "He's my hero... and my best friend", "I don't care if they come to ME!". It's so unsettling how well this guy's manipulation works.
Absolutely agree, It makes me so mad to see vulnerable children looking up to this Narcissistic man child when there are FAR better role models out there.
A great example of a good role model is jaystation he taught me how to have a healthy relationship or two or five
I was bouta bring out the pitchforks when they were threatening the dog
This makes me sick!
I wonder what it’d be like to grow up and realize you broadcasted the saddest moments of your childhood to the Internet
The clown thing was a real eye opener as to just how young his core audience really is. I was kinda thinking most were probably like 12-13. Those kids were 10 and under for christ's sake.
God I feel so spoiled watching Nerd City’s content, it’s so good and thought out and edited so nicely that watching anyone else just feels like it’s not up to his quality
Dead Memes i complete agree, true quality content
It's damn good. When I discovered them a couple of months ago, I watched all of their content in a massive binge.
I thought I knew pretty much all there is to know, considered clicking away from this vid but then decided to watch a bit more and realised I knew nothing at all
what's more is anyone who can actually do anything about this trash isn't gonna be baited into clicking any of this garbage so it totally flies under the radar

Govinda Solanki Vlogs doing some good things doesnt suddenly erase the bad things you do, this isnt math where positive cancels the negative, especially not if he is still doing said negative and manipulative things. And like the other guy said, criticism is not equal to bullying. Nerd City brought up good points of argurment against Jake's scummy and insidious business practices, argue those points if you think they are wrong, dont just go " hurr durr bUt jAke pAuL dID gOoD tHingS Too". We all want money to buy things we want and need. But fucking people over by manipulating their kids into using their parents money, is corrupt to say the least

Jake Paul hit a new low when he "filmed" the riots in Scottsdale, AZ on Saturday night. He has now been charged with a few crimes relating to that incident. And his response to the situation was his usual response to situations like it.
He didn’t even film a protest, it was just a random mall looting that was a 15 minute drive from the actual protests
And now he is being visoted by the FBI. Yay.
Amyphere That’s why I didn’t say protests.
I was waiting to find a comment about this.
I haven't catch up on a lot of news but, after the FBI raid, I wonder what's gonna happen next for Jake Paul?

Nerd city is the next content cop if Idubbz gets promoted to content sergeant
Same. I waited till I had the time to not be distracted to watch lol
The best part shows that all of jakes fans are kids (that arnt even old enough to make a gmail) im glad these kids are scared now they will see real content lul
Shane really made jake seem likeable - really pissed now he didn't address the clown vid or go into detail about advertising to kids. Shane "people think you advertise to kids" Jake: "i don't think so" Shane: "okay" -__-
It's really messed up that they had all those kids so scared. Like wtf, you'd think a grown man would have more sense than that. And even if he is that stupid, You'd swear after the first video comes out of a crying panicked child he'd come clean and let everyone know it was fake.
Not to mention that seriously fucked up family and hypersexual stuff.. I'm going to need to bleach my eyes after that..
agreed, i loathe the part in that series where Shane references this exact video and just off-handedly dismisses it, despite the genuine density of shit Nerd City's investigated. Shane's going "yeah sure he's done all these bad things, But"- and moving onto some tragic backstory reason is so bad. as if any explanation garnered in that series dismisses the shit Jake has done. the explanations are Reasons as to why he does the shit he does, not Excuses.
Shane also is very "yeah I relate- I've been on this platform X number of years and UA-cam's never promoted me or anything [further stuff about him feeling left to the wayside]". Shane flat out just never acknowledges and takes ownership of the fact that his past content was among the most casually racist ever seen from a large person on this platform and the site had every reason to not promote him.
Despite how genuine and likeable Shane comes across, he seems to have something of a victim complex. At the very least it's bad that a 30 year old guy of that size a following can't own it and move on.
All that series really did in the end is say "Jake isn't the explosive intense youtube persona off camera that he displays on UA-cam".
@lullabyneanderthal who did he abuse?
@lullabyneanderthal I don't want to give him views and get recommendated all his incredibly shit videos
Shane's making 9 parts on Jake Paul... he'll get to them...and he'll go in HARD.
I just imagine the kids in the video as teenagers looking back at this and realizing, “My god I was so stupid!”
Hopefully but unfortunately I don’t think that will be the case for many
Sadly, many of these kids are now stupid teenagers.
Seeing those Kids being scared about Jake Paul possibly dying was absolutely heart wrenching
i know, it made me tear up. those poor kids... everything is real to children :
I almost cried when that girl said he was her hero... They should be happy someone is putting a stop to his content.
@CatandBonez are you an idiot? Just because their audience are primarily children doesn't mean their pedos.
Dude yes
fr it’s so fucked up
I got the chills seeing all these children beg for Jake's life... That is such a cruel prank. He knew what he was doing. God damn it, I hate him even more.
how old are those kids cause they look old like way to old to belive in such a retarded thing
literally same
@@skankhunter4364 well most children are stupid unfortunately, especially since their parents don't give a shit about them and what and who they are watching all day.

How about better parenting? Let's start there. Huh?
One of the videos of the kids crying disturbed me far more than the others and it's the one of the girl with the teddy bear. I only find it so weird because you can see a family photo in the back and it makes this whole thing seem so surreal. It feels like it's a scene out of a movie about children being brainwashed by the internet. Gives you a "what went wrong" kinda feel.
Yeah.

All those kids are going to grow up and realize their “best friend” manipulated and used them for money.
Nah, they're just going to think "Man, I used to be such an idiot kid back then."
@EGILA daX Hmmm yes, being brainwashed means they deserve bad stuff happening to them, that's not completely and backwards stupid reasoning at all. 🤔🤔
You missed the whole point of the video you pleb. He's saying what Jake is doing is wrong because it's so easy to manipulate and brainwash children. Don't understand why people online just don't understand how fragile and easy to control children are. Christ the edgy "kick the baby" shtick is starting to get old.
My mom did a thesis on children's television and advertising when my brother and I were little. I read it recently, now well into my thirties, and there's some interesting overlap and relating points between it and what's said in this video. She talked about the new laws about children's advertising, so it must have been very early nineties at the time.
Heck yeah man! I just gave you a standing Ovation. You'll have to take my word on that. Oh yeah, Philly D recommend and I'm glad he did. Sub

This video simplified:
1. Jake Paul should completely be banned from youtube
2. The future is doomed
Agreed
They're stupified
The Paul Brothers are EVIL !! 🤬
Nerdcity's videos are like essays. But if you had to have a thesis that unified his material on Jake Paul, Daddy o Five, Tana Mongeau and Ricegum, I think the thesis has to be "the future is doomed". As horrible as Jake Paul is, he's one amongst an army of the inane and the rot goes deep.
I'm afraid to bring a child into this earth for several reasons..... Getting accidentally exposed to Jake Paul is high on that list....
Man, kids admiring bad role-models has been going on for ages. We've survived it just fine. Kids are kinda dumb, often times. Comes from not having a fully developed brain. Once they grow up, they tend to figure out they were wrong to admire them.
Dude you absolutely knocked it out of the park with this one - your use of ambiance mixed with great story telling and editing make this whole video seem more like a movie, not a UA-cam video.
Phenomenal.
What amazes me is how parents are not willing to let their kid walk down the street to the park alone or ride home from school, but are willing to give them an iPad with internet access.
We have as a society managed to become both overprotective of children while also being totally neglectful.

Hey beautiful
Kids saying Jake Paul is their hero/best friend is 1000x scarier than those Killer Klowns masks.
It's even worse than getting HIV,from a hooker.
Well yeah, I'm feeling for those kids. If there is something Jake is genuinely good at it's manipulating children. And these kids actually think they are something more to him that a money generator. That's really sad in my opinion - kids really aren't as developed emotionally as one might be lead to believe. And with someone as exploitative as Jake they don't stand a chance.
And why the hell do those kids have like, their own UA-cam channels? I get if they're just uploading fun stuff they're doing in their daily lives, but the manner they talk in sounds like your usual adult/teen Vloggers. It's just scary to see kids these days acting like adults, watching inappropriate content on UA-cam, but somehow still stuck with the childlike mindset that can't distinguish between reality & obvious staged plays.
+NICO IN LIFE
Because I'm afraid that those kids may grow up like you.
No need to be so aggressive. Though I agree with your point, but it's really not that confusing. Kids watching the Paul Bros and the life they are living trying to imitate what their idols are doing. Obviously it's not gonna work out for most of them, but has that ever stopped someone from trying? I'd say as long as they dont behave like the people they adore just let them do their thing.
Once again, you made something absolutely incredible and when it came to the Zoosh part you blew my mind!
You go so in-depth, I'm still wondering how you did it hahaha

zoosh was already a thing... that no one knew about...? yeah they're pretty good at this shit
7:21 I really love how the dad scooped up his baby and protected her from jake. that was sweet.
I was an elementary school teacher and Jake Paul is a big part on why I left. There's such an effect on these kids not just at home and on the internet, but their behavior at school. His attitude toward teachers made things pretty difficult along with 2nd graders obsessed with clowns kidnapping their idol. Things changed and they changed quickly and I was tired of fighting it along with the parents that let Jake basically baby sit their kids. Honestly hes making a bigger impact on their culture than he thinks and that people realize.
The sharers of knowledge are not always treated kindly. 🐍🍎
It's so widespread man. I really think parents and teachers should organise about this.
Thats.... sad. I'm glad I dont have a child yet. Hopefully these retards are gone by that time
He knows what he is doing
This sure makes me glad my nieces and nephews are too old for this. When they were little it was just funny cat videos. While babysitting I was actually required to sit right beside them while using UA-cam. As in sitting there and using it with them and not doing my own thing.
I thought that was one of their better rules.
Or Maybe I just needed to be right beside them but enjoyed it with them anyway.
Honestly, these 40 minutes had more substance than an 8 part series.
This just fucking killed jake paul but shane is funnyer
Sorry for my bad spelling
"I don't care because I've been beaten up a lot" and that is about the saddest thing I've heard
more compelling than anything i saw/heard in shanes videos...
And the funniest
That kid is so brave trying to defend Jake even though he's apparently being bullied/abused himself. Jake doesn't deserve these kids.
How about the girl earlier - "He's my hero... and my best friend."
"It's not worth killing somebody to make you feel better"
That's some damn good philosophy.

He is by and large a sociopath.
