want to hear a little story there's this company web company called would Prix w
00 d PR IX and previous to that name it was called in flicks I n plix and what
this company does is gather instructions on building things from all over the
internet mostly YouTube and he takes these without compensation to the owners
and puts them in a PDF file and he has an eight an army and I'm not
exaggerating an army of people going to youtube channels and websites and
spamming the comments with links to the company called would pricks and I
finally figured out you on your YouTube channel you have come on freezing come
on you getting so old you can't jump up here okay you have a place that you can
type in keywords that will automatically block a comment with a certain keywords
and I have some keywords but actually I have like a dozen keywords fat bastard
being one of them because some people there's a lot of people I feel like they
need to come by a fat guys channel adela means a fat bastard I don't know why but
so the other two of the other ones are in flicks and would pricks and so I
finally got that under control where the those wood bricks comments are not
actually getting put in my comments section they're going to spam and over
the course of 11 years i think i am more susceptible to this than some channels
because i do so many building and tool related videos that I'm a larger target
for people that have a product they want a hawk well I feel like this I put 11
years of my life into this channel and it's not easy it's not cheap making
YouTube videos it's you know I got to have a computer I got to have a camera
everything I do I have to record as I do it you know it's I mean I like doing it
but it's an effort on my part and if people want to benefit from my work then
they should at least compensate me or ask me but they don't what they do is
they sneak into your comments section and they spam it with links to their
product or their website or or you know they're even their freakin Amazon link I
have people are leaving links to a particular product that they like and
what they'll do is they'll come leave a friendly polite comment oh sure like
this video great video you know you can get this product by going here and
they'll leave their own personal amazon link and it's just a I'm just so tired
of dishonest people thinking that they can bully and push around polite and
honest people and I fight back I delete their comments every single comment that
gets posted to a video comes right to my phone and if I don't like it I stop what
I'm doing it and I remove it I am I have become I guess you could say somewhat
anal retentive about this it's pissed me off that not pissed me off but made me
this determined to fight back well today something happened I'm not going to
mention the company because we've shook hands and straighten things out but a
company came to one of my videos that's a fairly high view count and left links
to their website and I went to their website and got their phone number and I
called and called and called and called and called and I couldn't get through so
I went to their YouTube channel and left a comment along the lines of this who
wants to do business with a company that's so
unethical that they will spam the comment section of other YouTube
channels and then I went to Yelp why ELP Yelp and I left another comment similar
to that this company believes that they can go to youtube channels and spam the
comment section that's highly unethical hold on one second that's my wife
hollering for a dog I thought she was home and from me well anyway I left
those two comments and I SAT and thought about it a while longer and i went to do
a little more investigation and i found a local phone number for that company
and i called him and the owner i believe it was the owner answered and i told
them what was and what had happened and i don't know if this is true or not but
he said his IT guy has been doing that and he'll have a word with them and and
anyway he within minutes the comment was removed so you know don't over with and
about an hour later he calls me and says um I see you've left the a comment on
Yelp about my company and I'll comment on my youtube page and look I'm real
sorry and you know he apologized and he said he was sorry and it wouldn't happen
again so I went and I removed my comments or square I think he gets it
that you just can't float on somebody else's hard work without compensating
them I said look you know pay me a little something I'll let your comment
through I deserve to be compensated for my efforts that's my intellectual
property and you know I wouldn't come by your place and demand something for free
and you have no right to demand free advertisement on my whipped my youtube
channel on my videos anyway I just thought that was an interesting story I
wouldn't say i won I think I won in a way that I got
somebody to understand that they can't do this to people it's just not right
it's dishonest it's a it's an it's not an honorable way to do business it's
unethical it's just wrong wrong wrong and I have had it and i'm going to start
fighting back against these people who want to spam my comment section I don't
care about the name calling those people don't really matter and you know you
remove their comment or block them and you never see him again but the
professional spammers I'll tell you what I'm taking the club's off and from now
on that's what I'm doing it took me about 20 minutes of my time today to do
that and I think I changed a person's mind I don't think they'll be dropping
links in people's comments sections anymore anyway just thought you might
find that interesting if you didn't sorry I wasted two minutes and 43
seconds of your time have a good day okay it was more like seven and a half
minutes but you know it felt like doing half minutes see you
