    And idk how he can be a scam in general, he doesn’t do anything that can be scam he sells merchandise, people buy that willingly.

    The video goes into some detailed allegations of actually illegal practices taking place with a lot of their contests and giveaways, such as obfuscating the “no purchase necessary” clause in their promo copies, making it unreasonably hard to enter the contest without making a purchase, “fixing” the contest so that some prizes go out to friends/family of the company instead of outside entrants, forging autographed merch, etc.

      Yes but there is no real coherent Evidence, its mostly allegations. I don’t say that all of this cannot be true, i just say that it’s not really believable currently. When now a lot of participants would stand up and talk about malicious practices i would probably believe it more. The forged autographs are actually pretty common, i don’t like it either but its not new.

        He provides a lot of evidence, largely including video footage and screenshots of the exact things he’s alleging. In fact, just about every claim he makes in the video is backed up by a clip or a screenshot. Whether or not those prove the claims he’s making is one thing, but to say he’s not provided any coherent evidence wouldn’t really be accurate.

        Did you watch the video? I know it’s long and not the most entertaining thing in the world, but I’m getting the feeling that you’re running on assumptions here, because a lot of the blanks you have are filled in by the video.
