      ​@@Babypapayaproductions I like where this is coming from but I think this goes too far. Scammers are arseholes. Despicable human beings. But they are still human beings and they inherently deserve to live. Because once we make the distinction of whom we do and whom we do not grant human rights (yes even in a throwaway comment on youtube) we're opening the door to even more dehumanisation, we're normalising it.
      And I'm sure your intentions were completely different and I wouldn't want to suggest that you actively want to dehumanise people but it would be great if we could avoid dehumanisations.

      @@brightballoon What do you mean if they're convicted? Do you know how scammers are convicted in India? Let go. At this point, the areas with corrupt police are probably getting a cut somehow, and they probably live in those areas. And I say probably because I can't do anything other than alledge it. The same laws that might apply to me and you don't apply to what these people consider their job, even if anybody with a brain can see that it's wrong, it's available work... which is why scammers are typically the stupid angry psychopathic and machalivellian types. They should be convicted, and they should have no rights to privacy. You are correct, if they are convicted, but the point is that they should not have a right to privately scam people who worked hard their entire lives for money. It is thevery, and we, the people being stolen from, have no problem disregarding their "rights" to privacy, under no conviction other than that of their words and actions.

Salute to the scambaiters for not letting these scammers win over 1 takedown request from TH-cam.
