- An air conditioning company put out a video advertising their product that we don't endorse. But they used our videos and likeness to promote it.
If you don't agree with their false advertising you can report the video.

As a rule of thumb, I never buy anything from a company that uses a robotic voice over. If they can't afford to pay for a real voice over, then it's probably tat that they are selling.
I just reported the false video with the following statement (press 3 dots under video, select "Spam or Misleading", select "Scams or Fraud"):
This video contains stolen content from "Tech Ingredients", a TH-cam channel with 722K subscribers. This video contains intentional misinformation with the sole intent to garner more views. The blatant falsehoods presented, while utilizing Tech Ingredient's intellectual property without permission, represents not only a violation of copyright, but even more egregious is the harm to Tech Ingredient's reputation that is likely to occur if the video is not urgently removed.
Hear hear
You mean you don't want the drone that is taking the industry by storm with its revolutionary technology?
It's not that they can't afford it. It's that anyone doing a voiceover would be culpable in a crime and could be easily traced back to the original scammers.
I won't even watch a video with a robotic voice. They get an insta-close.
Just FYI: The scam video has 100 likes and 5000 dislikes.
Anybody who thinks removing dislikes from TH-cam was a good idea deserves to get scammed!
Right, but youtube wanted to protect the creators and the dislike button was soooooo horrific! smh... Best addon for chrome is restoring the dislikes!!
Return TH-cam Dislike... great browser addon for improving the YT experience
yt wants you 'scammed' you are a moneybag to them
How were you able to read the dislikes? Is there an app for it?
@@Bob_Adkins Return TH-cam Dislike extension. Somehow they get a hold of API data, though TH-cam says they plan to phase even _that_ out cuz they're inexplicably super duper committed to this whole hide-the-dislikes BS. So I guess enjoy being able to identify and avoid garbage content while you can?
The irony with TH-cam making it so hard to protect this channel, is that it's exactly this kind of channel and you, that make TH-cam worth while. Thanks for all you do. We love you and your team for the gifts of knowledge you bring us. Why does it takes tens of thousands to complaints. Should it now take just one? The person who's image they are stealing? I'll help by reporting this video now. Hey good news. It's down :) .
Best comment yet great job brother great jo! 👏👏
The fact that a creator as large as you has to go this far to resolve an actual fraud like this is just yet another failure of TH-cam to provide tools and features for “us and you” and continue to just feed the corporate interests.
Meanwhile the usual suspects are out there abusing automated copyright tools to take down videos totally out of their legal rights blablabla
Yes. When he says that TH-cam is aware but then still needs viewers to report it.
TH-cam is making a hell of a lot of money off this and is therefore a Criminal Conspire-ist. They could take it down in a second but they wont
-cough cough- *5-min crafts with over 30 channels of the same content and stolen videos from other channels and some even harmful to kids yet the channels are titled "5-min Kidz", "Kids Craft 5-mins".
they don't care about you. They only care that they control information and profit from it. Period.
@@sweetkity Of all the problem channels on TH-cam, those content farms are the worst by far. Each of their channels regularly does things that are supposed to be against TH-cam policy, but they never have so much as a slap on the wrist. Smaller creators, however, get videos removed and strikes for daring to warn people of an unknown, and very real, danger! TH-cam probably thinks they're protecting their revenue stream by supporting the huge content farms. I wonder how much money they would lose by holding these content farms to the policies versus alienating all of their smaller channels enough that they choose to start posting elsewhere?
Man I hate this stuff. I've had clips from my own videos edited into ads selling fake or dangerous stuff also. It's been a few years since the last time thankfully. I was able to get most of them taken down quickly with a DMCA complaint for the unlicensed commercial use of my footage.
Your clips and warped perception are probably the 2 most stolen from channels.
it's funny that they stole things from a thief.
This is the right way to use DMCA
Because of the ads that I have seen for your products, or someone claiming to be you, Your products are at the top of my list of stuff to avoid.
@@bluestormcloud791 I don't have any products, what are you talking about?
It's been removed now. Hope these scammers will suffer for this, at least financially.
It only states 'removed by the uploader', so the channel itself may have survived.
@@Masterspam1 Thankfully he shows the channel in the video, "steve vannest" and upon checking the channel is totally dead, no content whatsoever, I suspect the scammers just outright abandoned it.
Edit: Sadly their other videos appear to still be up and unlisted, as their view count in information section shows. Only this one was taken down, and the channel still lives.
Yeah but they're using the same video for add, so they're buying ads. And the add are bring allowed to play. I don't know how you'd be able to report a paid ad.
@@joedingo7022 Suspected as much. I've seen this strategy before with swamp coolers. They probably realized that the gig was up and only kept unlisted videos around to prevent people from reporting them.
Still, you can get around that by looking at the debugging information (found by right-clicking on the video and selecting statistics). There you'll find the ID for the video, allowing you to go to the video page to report it.
Of course, that only works if you actually see the ads.
@@Blackdragonselite when the ad is playing, click on the ⓘ and then REPORT.
Scammers be everywhere, I’m sorry this happened. Hopefully it gets resolved soon.
I’ve been binge watching your content lately as I’m home sick with a bad sinus infection that’s turned into a ear infection. I just wanna personally thank you for the relaxing feel and educational content. Much love
It's so rare to find integriy these days. Love your channel and will certainly recommend.
Have you considered a copyright claim? The video could be nuked within minutes if done through the TH-cam Studio.
Considering they're using your content in a misleading and commercial way, it seems like a copyright claim would be a lawful way to take the video down.
We've already done that and are waiting for TH-cam to do their part.
@@TechIngredients You should release some original music videos. Those companies get takedowns pretty much instantly.
@@OwlishGeorge yeah that would be pretty smartm, music copyrights happen way faster than video
@@TechIngredients The quickest way for a channel to get anything done by youtue is to pester them on twitter with a tweet or two and channel supporters joining in by commenting/liking your tweet/s. Otherwise they drag their feet, because if people don't pester them publicly on twitter with fan support, they just don't car. It is more about how they look that bothers YT, not what they do for the "little guy" and they assume you are very little or your complaint is, if you do not make enough noise publicly on twitter.
@@OwlishGeorge Music gets nuked so fast because the media industry has a direct interface.
I still can’t believe how hard it is to have these scams taken down. TH-cam should be able to act quickly to protect content producers as well as the public.
They could if they cared.
The only time they are fast is when you post something that diverts from the mainstream agenda. Try posting a video about alternative theories on covid's origin and/or treatments and see how long it stays up.. Advertisements spammers, scammers and fraudsters they simply do not care about. I've stopped reporting scams, they just don't care..
youtube doesn't get rid of the crypto scam bot networks
They seem to be able to take down videos they don't agree politically with fast enough. Like, within the first day and with no complaints from anyone.
I've never found a way to report a scam advert. Very keen to hear of a way to do this.
I get that a video itself can be reported but I don't know how to find the source video for a scam advert on the YT platform in order to report it.
Imo youtube is culpable for blame here as the ad is approved by them and ran on their platform
Wow, didn't realize you were local! Great work and I love that you have an open source approach.
Congrats on growing the channel! You guys are getting big!
"This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Tech Ingredients"
good job sir
Yes, just confirmed, I have been away. This is great quick work by your followers
Funny that when this happens with an ad, TH-cam are "working on it", but if it's a content/copyright strike with a regular video, it's instantly pulled, no questions asked (AIUI).
Copyright strike from big company. With regular people's claims it is the same: "working on it".
You and I both know why. Music publishers are incredibly rich, hire the best lawyers money can buy, and they despise TH-cam with a burning passion. Much Congressional action has danced around forced regulation of TH-cam. Thus, TH-cam does absolutely everything in their power to dance to their every whim - there are whole teams at TH-cam who do nothing but answer the hotline from the record companies, I'm not even kidding.
Small channels? With no lawyers? They'll put that issue on the back burner for awhile, no big deal. Time is money, after all, and that time could be better spent appeasing somebody with big bucks.
@Account NumberEight The music videos that exist either are not represented by major music labels or (just as frequently) they signed a licensing deal with TH-cam for some per-view amount, usually not very much.
The record companies cry themselves to sleep remembering the days of $30 albums and fuck you if you didn't like it.
You are a great engineer. I appreciate you are sharing your experience with the audience.
It is sad you have to deal with it.
Best wishes!
Sorry to hear about this. Glad to hear there are people banding together to act against it!

Thanks for sharing. Sorry to hear about this scam that is affecting you. I notice in the comments that someone else had this happen to him also. I had one of my copyrighted music compositions coopted by a TH-cam video and reported this and it was taken down. I suspect that the group (a spiritual prosperity group!) is still using the music in their country. You have my empathy. I hope that a good long term solution is found. Until then, it seems your sharing about your experience helps. You are one of my favorite channels and I am happy you are back making videos again.

@@TechIngredients Last I heard, people could use videoclips of under 10 seconds in a derivative production, and not be considered infringing. It's how anyone can use a 10 second clip of major movies. Having just watched this scam, they dont seem to use more than a couple second clips of you, from several different videos. In fact, none of the scenes in that video is longer than 10 seconds.
I reported it anyways; but it looks like they are in the legal clear.
@@BikiniDuckCreations As far as I know that 10 second rule has some limitations. I don't think it applies to use in advertising.
@@BikiniDuckCreations Fair use doctrine does not apply as they're claiming that the video they've used is theirs.

I think I've viewed every single one of your videos over the last 3 weeks. I sometimes twice!! It is discouraging the amount of scams and fraud that accrues now. Even looking for a job online now is fraught with malicious actors.
Anyway, keep up the good fight!!
So sorry to hear this about the paste fraud. I saw someone complaining about “not receiving” the product in the comments of a recent upload.
Stay strong, your reputation with me is strong; I love your content and the work you do to prepare your videos.
Nice to see a channel stepping up to let people know what's going on, when their content is being used wrongly. I filed a report on that video, cause misleading doesn't even start to describe what their doing.

Level headed respectful and without speaking ill of a clear violation by other people . You sir have the patience and wisdom of a monk many years older.
I've been subscribed a long time. I really like the how and why. They remind me of a 4th grade science teacher I had, back in the 70's who kept us on the edge of our seats. I hope you find good help and take this show even bigger.
BTW, There's nothing wrong with making some money for your work too. You deserve it.
TH-cam should be held liable for allowing the scam advertisements on the platform. They easily monitor all the creator content but somehow don't do anything about the fraudulent advertisements???
For anyone interested in an advertised product, find the name and do a TH-cam review search or Amazon review search. You can then find out if it is worth it. Also, only buy from reputable sources and not random websites.
I mean, it's an ad... as far as the parent company is concerned, youtube only exists to host ads. The videos we watch are only adspace to them.
And Google Ad Services really doesn't seem to give any fucks what it advertises. I've even seen ads for mail-order brides.
You're right that they should be held liable, but there's no legislation for this. Almost all of our lawmakers are 70 years old and probably can't even find the spacebar on a keyboard. THAT is the real problem. How are they going to understand a tech lobbyist?
I get spammed with these types of goofy chinese ads constantly, it's not just for air coolers. I get drones, cell phone gadgets, all kinds of stuff all featuring that goofy robot voice. They're non stop, all scams with ridiculous claims.
@@JustOneAsbesto Louis Rossman (on YT under that name) who is a big proponent of "right to repair" has that problem in dealing with legislators. Most of them have not clue what social media is and fall for some of the most absurd arguments presented by the big companies who don't want to let independent shops repair their products.
There was a video from them a year or so ago mentioning that the uploads to TH-cam is something like 300 hours per second (!) So it may be an algorithm adjusted to spoof a website either with captured content. I suppose it just comes down to 'does it make sense?' But I do feel sorry for the newbies, even though the spoof seemed to be more about reputation stalking.
Agreed. TH-cam has no problem identifying conservatives. Why can't they do the same for fraudsters? Stop being evil Google.
I just seen one of those ads and literally was hoping you would see the ad and make a response. Here I am seeing this and I’m very elated.
Thank you for informing us of what's going on. I am sorry this happened to you and others. As for myself I have noticed what appears to be scams on several advertisements and I no longer buy anything off the internet. I have many friends and relatives who have experienced money grabbing scams. Hopefully the internet can clean itself up someday. Till then I am Cash and Carry.
REPORTED as requested! So sorry you are dealing with this! You guys are AWESOME! You have only improved your reputation with this response in my humble opinion. Can't wait to see the next video you actually make!

What's more embarrassing than having your content used by a scam?
Being a multi-billion dollar tech company that generates nearly all of it's revenue from advertising that is incapable of allocating the resources and developing a process to squash these scams within hours, let alone days... or WEEKS!
So much for their "do the right thing" motto eh?
Yeah...I can see why they abandoned their original motto: "don't be evil."
Because I can't think of a single multi-billion dollar global multinational corporation that has managed to avoid evil. It's the nature of the game...and aspiring to such lofty heights necessitates a certain amount of willingness to do evil, wherein the people involved tell themselves that "the ends justify the means." It's far easier to say that you're affirming the more positive "do the right thing" because whatever the right thing is, it's extremely subjective. Evil is subjective too, but I think it is a greater PR nightmare to have people claiming that they're going against their word and "being evil," compared to having people accusing them of not doing the right thing.
It's not that YT etc *can't* it's that YT etc doesn't *want* to allocate resources to squash these scams.
@@VoIcanoman a bit of topic, but I recently had a similar conversation with a work colleague. We were talking about rich ppl in general, and I made the comment that nobody made it rich by being nice/good. She got offended coz she said she had a friend back in Ireland who became a multi millionaire from being basically a garbage man. Skip bins, collections, mass transportation, ect. Got to a good income, very comfortable, then sold it to a Euro company for a few 10s of millions. She said he was a good person, and he probably is.
I tried to gentle explain that( without him being a evil person) he only made his first income by charging ppl way more then the actual cost of his service, since unless you break even, you are charging customers more then what the service and overheads costs( not that that is inherently wrong, ppl gotta make money after all), and that him selling the company for millions was even worse for his customers. After all, that new company would want to make it’s money back, plus profit. So cost would go up and service down and probably a lot of downsizing. But he didn’t ‘care’ about that, only the money. So basically, he put his bank account over that of other ppl( not to mention that of the other company, since if someone offered you more then your company was worth, would you really tell then that it was to much?).
End of day, that doesn’t make one a evil or bad person. We all wanna be rich. But you can’t say that such a person is good. A ‘good’ person would not make a profit, may even end up with a loss.
But that is a vast difference then knowingly( or choosing plausible deniable) making a profit on something that actively hurts others. That is evil.
They can censor the political right though, quite efficiently.

Love your channel!! I admit I don’t always have the chance to watch them all. But, when I do watch I appreciate your content very much and am looking forward to more!
You are one of my few TH-cam Guru’s! I don’t know why I only saw this now, but it is DISGUSTING!! Thankfully when going to report, the link now says channel unavailable. I prey that their view count did not earn them $ from TH-cam!!
Thank you for all you have taught me and Keep up the amazing work!! :)
great to hear you're growing and hiring! please make sure the new editor doesn't doo too much fancy garbage, part of the charm of this channel is the straightforward, minimally cut style that leans more on good content, knowledge, and pacing than it does on the video editing or as a lot of channels have gone to, the kind of cut together "rushed" feeling.
Agreed. I despise the editors etc who decided that what a video really needs is jump cuts or the camera suddenly being set to one side so it looks like the person is talking off to the side.
Agree wholeheartedly.
Totally agree.
This product gets put out there every 6 months or so and it’s always a new “inventor”. It was once a “10 year old genius”.
It’s just a swamp cooler that can only work we’re there is very low humidity.
This is why I shudder for the future of America: A failing education system leading to a greater proportion of ignorant people who are not going to be able to recognise scams such as these because of a lack of fundamental scientific understanding.
humidity makes the heat sensation even worse, it traps the heat into the water molecules which keep on irradiating the heat inside and making things worse.
a heatpump dryer that collects water from the air and condenses it in a cold surface would be more effective, precisely the opposite of this product smh
@@Ewr42 I bought one off amazon not this precise model but something similar long as the humidity is low it does give a personal cooling effect however in the UK if it ever get hot enough to use one of these then the humidity is so high that it just makes things worse. Mine stopped working by the following summer hard water seemed to have killed it off. I will just stick with a desk fan in future for the odd hot day the UK gets.
I’ve seen several of this type of ad!! Glad you are exposing this! Hey, good news it’s gone!
I just tried to go to the link you provided and got the message 'Video no longer available'. Hopefully, there's one less injustice in the world now. Congrats!
Your best option may be a DMCA takedown request to TH-cam. At that point, they are legally required to take the video down.
I suspect YT is in on these kinds of scams... especially if the content is monetized. For the same reason YT is shadow banning comments that are a little 'too true', while leaving up obvious bot spam comments that appear on multiple videos... no matter how many times you report them.
Done and done. Glad to hear youre expanding and hiring editors. I can only imagine this channel is going to explode even faster

@@neatoelectro3687 At least he's not using Newton-meters🤣
Thank you for your comment. I had to look it up (FOSS) - and I like the idea!
This is a swamp cooler, uses evaporative cooling. This basic design has been advertised over the past 3 years, claimed to be invented by a high school kid, a doctor in Switzerland, and by 2 men in India.
Several people have done test on it. At best it is a spot cooler for you, a fan blowing cooled air. One test was in a small camper in 90 degree temp outside, it lowered the inside temp to 85degrees after 2hours..
And due to the higher humidity level, sweat doesn't evaporate as much and you're likely to end up even warmer at those 85 than you were at 90 with a dryer air.
The scam product looks like just a knock off of the "Artic Air" mini evaporative cooler.
As far as I understand it they can actually work great in dry places but not anywere else.
@@alfepalfe Certainly. I live in high elevation dry climate and I have a large swamp cooler for my house. Nothing wrong with evap "swamp" coolers in principle nor in function. I love mine. They are not suitable for humid climates.
Thanks for the heads up.

Congratulations, mission accomplished. Now I want to see a few of your videos, because this one stayed on my landing page for like ever.
This has become very common, most if the channels I watch have been hit.
It's usually channels that have give-aways for members, the reel you in thinking you have won something, and it goes from there.

It's very Elvish.
You're one of the best channel's ever and it's a total shame this happened to you. Even worse, I find it unthinkable that youtube hasn't removed this video yet. Obviously I reported it but the case is so obvious that they should have done this instead since you contacted them. Keep up the excellent work!
I hate scammers and the fact that they prey on people’s ignorance. I’m glad you got the video removed. Of course the scammers still ran away with bags of cash and have no sweat off their back & are probably busy cooking up their next scheme. But I love the work you guys do and the graduate-level education you provide the world for free. I guess in some ways it’s a testament to your success, that parasites are trying to leech off your credibility!

Today I learnt something new: a new lower level scammers can use. Sad that you good people need to suffer from these scammers.
Please keep us posted on the results.
Be sure to also bill the scammers at $1 per second per view for your "work" in their scam. TH-cam should have had the video terminated within 2 hours of the time you reported it. Failure to do so puts them as culpable for damages.

Funny how TH-cam will put a strick on something as quickly as showing a 3d printed frame for a firearm yet real scams get put to the pack of the pile.
its clear what the 1% oligarchy in US fears the most
The same as YT is shadow-banning comments that are a little too close to the truth.... all the while leaving up spam bot comments that are pasted onto several channels, no matter how many times you report them.
Clearly, YT is in on this crap. It's all manipulated and fake, like Twidder.
2+ years of rampant financial scams (live streaming Tesla, Bitcoin, etc and saying send money here) and the millions of comments under videos saying "check in with my financial advisor" and TH-cam has done nothing.
In my opinion I think they allow it (by piss poor enforcement) because it helps their user and platform engagement stats.
My boys! Love you guys. Just reported their video, Ridiculous that they do this. I’m sure they made a killing. There is a way to find out their analytics
I just reported the false video with the following statement (press 3 dots under video, select "Spam or Misleading", select "Scams or Fraud"):
This video contains stolen content from "Tech Ingredients", a TH-cam channel with 722K subscribers. This video contains intentional misinformation with the sole intent to garner more views. The blatant falsehoods presented, while utilizing Tech Ingredient's intellectual property without permission, represents not only a violation of copyright, but even more egregious is the harm to Tech Ingredient's reputation that is likely to occur if the video is not urgently removed.
Just went to do the report on the video and it's been removed!!! Good job getting the scammers shut down on this!
Happy to see that garbage has been removed...
You guys are amazing. Thanks for being you!

@Christie Malry Audiobooks hahah, you are legit my new favorite TH-camr! Thanks for all you do, too Comrade!
I'm really glad to see you clear the air on this subject and make sure we're all on the same page. I did my part and watched part of the video and did report it for fraud, since they're claiming you're Howard and using your content. Not cool. Also I appreciate all the time and effort you guys put into making all the videos, thank you!

Ha! Just went (via your offered link) to that scamming site, and it's been SHUT DOWN!! Good to see things are occasionally working as they should for consumer and content creator protection!
Looks like your campaign to shut THEM down has gone well! Congratulations.
Yay! Their video is gone! I've loved your channel since the beginning. Absolutely class act work. Keep it up and thank you!
Getting TH-cam's twitter account attention is another way of making things happen. Also don't be afraid to ask for help from other YTers, it is in their best interest as well to help put a stop to this and heck gives an opportunity for them to make more content, win/win.
yeah, like Jeremy @thequartering
Linus could definitely help getting it taken down.
@@laboulesdebleu8335 I would not contact him if I was them...
They represent them self as a serious and professional channel, this reputation would go down the shitter if thequartering was involved...
Agreed!
Twitter is always a good go-to when it comes to big corporations. I'd add that the most effective method is to shame them in public on your timeline, which means you want to put a . or something else in front of the @ tag for them. That way it'll show on your timeline instead of being hidden in "and replies."
This is why we can't have nice things. Good luck to you guys, I look forward to seeing y'all put all this behind you.
Nice "looking" things. Better honest cobble than an empty box.
Went over to report it, and it’s been removed! Great job!
;-) Video not available anymore. !!! Good Job!!! And ty for your informational videos. I love amateur science and have been a model rocketeer for over 50 years. Great vid material i all areas! Love you factual presentations and explanations. Be SAFE!
I really appreciate your videos and will be happy to review the video in question! I detest scammers!
I reported for you guys. I just posted a couple videos as well with similar issues with bots and scams affecting my channel. I really hope something is done about this on youtube. My suggestion would be to allow verified creators to have a higher amount of weight when they report something like this. They already have our personal info so youtube would definitely be able to do KYC and then elevate our abilities to help fight spam if we wanted to and any creator abusing the system would just have that feature blocked from being used. If a creator sent a flag on a video a yt employee could double check to see if there's an issue here and if so, take appropriate action. Maybe even incentivize creators by giving them an extra 5-10% on their ad revenue if they did this. It would pay creators extra since its a job to fight bots and spam. Instead they spend their time deleting the dislike :(
I just clicked on the link and it says it been taking down by copyright claims by him....🤷♂️
Lol this channels is also weird - "The Dro". ~500k subs and 500 views per video? You bought those subs man?
Edit: Lol 200mln views on one video. Damn, i guess it sucks to have a one-shot video that doesn't bring attention to the channel itself :/
My guess is..that TH-cam has their hands full concerning issues like this. I am positive that TH-cam employees tasked with this venue are not idly standing by waiting for violations.
Tech Ingredients do an awesome job and I'm sorry to hear about this patch of trouble you've hit. I've only just got here (two weeks after posting) and I see that the bogus video has now been taken down, so that's good.
Thanks for sharing Howard!
Complaint filed with YT.
I love your work, your experience, your research and journeyman knowledge on such diverse products. Thank you and may your channel continue to grow beyond your wildest expectations.
I hope this time, TH-cam acts on the scam reports. I've notified them so many times about scammers (the blatantly obvious ones, with a phone number in their name), but it seems pointless. A day later, and all those dubious comments I flagged were still there.
How difficult can it be to filter out users with 10 or more numerical symbols in their name?
It's not difficult at all. They just don't care.
@@Xiph1980 It is all about the money.
I'm beginning to think it's TH-cam in the first place that is scamming
Went in to look and report. The message comes back saying "this content has been removed by the uploader". This is an excellent result and shows that people power can still work. Good luck with your business plans.
Love you guys. Anything good always attracts detractors and mischievous characters. Keep on keeping on.
I hope Tech Ingredients finds the talented help they need. I can't wait to see what amazing content they will produce.
So sorry you've been scammed!
Love your channel so much! 👍
You and your staff have my highest respect!
It's sad that greedy idiots/criminals like to target honest people and companies.
I hope these thieves get what they deserve.
Keep up your great work👍
Love you & your channel. Always learning something.
😘💞💞💞💞💞
As of today, that video is no longer available. GREAT JOB!!!!
Scams have become a daily fact of life. Anyone who grew up with swamp coolers, knows their abilities, but also their limitations, and disadvantages. This little coolers being promoted as "air conditioners" are a full blown scam. Thank you for alerting people who may be vulnerable to such dishonesty. Other youtubers have provided verification that they do not work as claimed. These are products that should be taken off the market. I would recommend to anyone to do their research before buying a product.
I love the open source movement and generally support it, but I believe this situation shows why it is imperative that people have a legal method of enforcement to protect a business identity. Especially trademark. I never understood attacking software or other companies which freely distribute their ideas, but simply want to preserve control of their name.
Hopefully this nonsense is taken down quickly. Good luck -Howard- Mr. Main Presenter. I've been a fan for a few years now and really enjoy your channel.
Trademarks are very important. Most large libre (the proper term for what most people think of as open source and permissive licensing) projects are trademarked. Even Linux, Free Software Foundation and the GNU Project are trademarked.
@@krozareq I remember people wigging out when Firefox sued someone over their trademark. It literally is the reason some of the other browsers exist. That's the type of situation I am talking about. People who oppose the current intellectual property regime so hard they think even trademarks and such should be scrapped.
I love your channel thank you for all you do sharing your amazing creativity

Thank you so much for the heads up. I fallowed the link and the video has been removed by poster.
FWIW - I subscribed to your channel based on this video of you setting the story right. This is integrity. Bravo.
Thanks and welcome!
Stay safe out there, Howard.
Heh. I had gotten that ad multiple times, I'd just never let it run long enough to see you, it was such an obvious scam.
Having watched it now... it is pretty funny just how bad it is. And it's just a shitty little swamp cooler. Alec at Technology Connections did a great video on these "personal air conditioners" almost a year ago.
Something similar happened to a US UAV company that I was working with where they mimicked their TH-cam channel. I worked with them over several days to do mitigation on the damage to their reputation. Seems like this type of thing is on the rise. Looks like this video is down at this time. I am glad this was resolved as this is one of my favorite channels. Thank you for persevering and keep the good work going. :)
You guys are awesome.sir. Salute you. And ur helpful soul
Reported.
So sad to see this happen to you!
I wish I knew Premier, Effects, and/or Blender. I'd love to work with or around your crew and the shop, but there are definitely folks out there who are better suited to fill this position. 20 years ago I moved across the country just for an interview and I still work for that company.
I wonder if any of my LightRoom skills might be of any benefit. Nah, just kiddin'! I'm sure you will find yourself swimming in so many potential well-qualified applicants that you'll go Crazy. (Patsy Cline)
Can’t hurt to send them your CV. You never know…..
Smartest and most likable guy on TH-cam, hands down. I reported the scam video. I also look forward to seeing more content from you guys soon. All the best!
I'm glad to see the link shows the video as no longer available because the uploader took it down
When I subscribed to your channel several years ago I didn't know to hit the bell icon, when I noticed that commercial I realized that I hadn't been notified of any of your videos so I have since corrected my mistake and am glad to see that you are taking action.
I am going to take your advice and do the same right now.
... nevermind it's already gone!
