I'm going to leave a pinned comment here with regards to the voice-over for the male scammer used in this video. I want to provide complete transparency of the process involved and some clarity on the actor himself.
The persons voice is not Bens. It is a professional voice actor from the Philippines. I took my time in hiring a voice actor for that role - I actually rejected another voice actors work after paying them because I deemed their rendition to be very racist.
I sent all of my potential voice actors a brief - informing them of what the video was about and some background on the characters they would play - the key points were of course that the scammers were not native English speakers. This was an important requirement as I needed to make the spoken text feel organic, as a lot of it was broken English and had typos. I ended up editing out all of the spelling typos because, against the rest of the text in the video they simply looked like errors in the editing. I originally gave the voice actors the option to pronounce the typos - but they chose not to, so it made no sense keeping them in.
The specific style of voice that can be heard in the video is one that this voice actor actually advertises to potential clients on Fiverr. His voice style in this video does not differ in any way from the voice style he publicly advertises. This actor was the only person I found that could deliver me a dark tone for what I needed. He was really excited to work with me and I would potentially work with him on another projects in the future. My main point here is that the voice you hear is not someone "putting on" an accent. It's his native accent that he has personally chosen to make dramatic. Its extremely interesting that people are perceiving a man's native accent as a racist accent. That's a conversation to probably have right there.
Please know that this is something I took a lot of time deliberating and referred to my peers on RUclips for a second opinion whilst the video was in development and again, I flat out rejected some voice actors because I deemed their work as racist. Pams Pretty Plants heard these audio files and saw the briefs so she can attest to all of this.
From the heart- the last thing I want to be is racist.
I hope this provides some clarity for anyone concerned or offended. I am also happy to discuss this within this thread.
I'm not surprised that folks found something else to complain about, since they obviously had nothing intelligent to add to the real topic. I appreciate all the hard work you put into this film, and all the knowledge you've shared. 💛
Actually thought it was wicked racist till I saw this. haha It is I who is the racist one.
I never perceived this to be racist and am actually surprised to see this pinned comment. Interesting...
Thank you so much. This needs to be required watching by new and old plant collectors.
The fact that you feel the need to expressly say what you have, is deeply disappointing to me in a general sense of society. You have never done nor said anything that is remotely close to being offensive.
This feels like a Netflix documentary. Absolutely well done!
EDIT: Holy shit. The visuals. The symbolism! The INFORMATION. The MUSICAL NUMBERS ADDED IN!! I got nervous that I did something wrong and I can't even afford a pink plant at this point, real or not. Haha. This is literal non-fiction ART. Kaylee, you should be IMMENSELY proud of this. This..is insanely good.
Throw in a dash of Black Mirror and you have it! Loved it.
right, there should be a RUclipsr plant awards, Kaylee would win on production! Damn!
Agreed!! A very talented woman!!
agreed! real cool stuff. well done 👏
cringe
Us, poor people without money looking at all this drama unfolding, sipping tea.. ☕
The amount of money these rich people spend on such blasé looking houseplants is hilarious.
I'll stick with my 15$ Pink symphony caladium. 20x prettier and dirt cheap. Lol
@@taylorhillard4868 omggg where did you get it? I’ve been looking for one but everyone I’ve seen are selling them for like $50 and up..
@@rockformypillow tbh I don't really remember. I got it with a few coworkers when we placed some bulb orders together.
I'd recommend just looking at places that sell bulbs moreso than houseplants. I find that for bulb plants (like collocasia and caladium) it's better to buy from a place that sells annual bulbs than from a place that sells them as houseplants (and marks them up x4)
Legit just choked on said ☕️ when she got to the part about these Creators thinking you’d want to take your already exorbitantly priced plant in for regular color “enhancement” services 🤣 I can’t 😂😂😂
It's me. I'm poor people.
Kaylee is literally the Anonymous of the plant community
lol we said the same thing at the beginning of the video
True that !
@@rosecityplants5113 me too!
Mr robot in the house...
I wish people would stop giving you such a hard time. You're literally the only person calling out what's wrong with the plant community. I appreciate you, Kaylee. Please continue speaking up. I'm so disappointed to be part of the plant community lately. The greed is disgusting.
The people that do give her shit generally are the ones with an ace to grind....for the reasons you just pointed out 🤬
@@Ben-ky9yq well said. She does amazing work. This took time and effort in not only the graphics and videography, but the informational research and scripting as well.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the QUALITY of editing this video has!! awesome work Kaylee, i love it 👏
I was blown away!
It was so well done!
These clips were deliberately done for entertainment. I dont want to make videos that are to the point without any entertainment value. If I did - I'd write a community post and share it instead. I'm trying to make content that's fun to watch.
@@KayleeEllenOfficial you succeeded! It was a lot of fun, thanks!😍
At first I thought it was the visuals and editing that made this video feel so new and different. But then it hit me: I'm also not really used to Kaylee ranting slow paced, structured and eloquently to the point. I wasn't ready for this 😂
But seriously, I like it. These scams are outrageous, so the dramatic style of the video matches nicely. I'd say take it a step further next time! I'm hoping for some of those 'reenacted based on true events' scenes 😁 Maybe a parody song? I'm sure someone can work wonders with Aerosmith's 'Pink'.
The editing is a bit too dramatic for my taste but I really appreciate the work and research that went into this. Thank you for making people aware of these topics
I agree. I found it a little slow and I had to skip through a lot of it to get to the point. I still wanted to watch for the education, but there were a lot of dramatic pauses that lasted a bit too long for me.
Still really appreciate the information though. As I almost bought one, but because of her video, luckily I did not! A good video but agree, too dramatic.
It was like a wild drug trip... but I enjoy her just sitting and chatting usually so it was over the top for me
The drama of it all was cringe 🤣
Feel like im watching a Jeremy Corbell doc
A bit? You would have thought she was bringing down an international human trafficking ring.
In a time… in a place… there’s a girl… spreading the truth… one plant at a time. Your wallets empty but your popcorn bowl is full. Brush the dirt off your fingers and tune into… Dish the Dirt.
Love this!
This needs to be on her next DTD Tee shirt!!!
THIS. WAS. EPICCCCC!!!!!!! Thank you for all that you do for the planty community❤️❤️ We love you!
I was blown away at the production! and content of course, as always... She must have put weeks of hours into that, I can't imagine the focus, research, time and effort, it's mind blowing
💚💚💚💚💗
DISCLAIMER: these hearts are chemically induced and will fade to green over time.
I had to pause and watch this on my big TV. My phone wasn't doing it justice! The production🤩💯🙌👏👏👏 Kaylee you are amazing!
I’m blown away with the editing. Honestly, I saw the video game developer in you with this edit Kaylee 😌😊 Job well done!!! I cannnot wait for more 🥰 also can we get an update on the Living Wall sooon 😔
I literally just binge watched the rare plant shop documentaries and can't wait for this to air! 😂 This will piss some people of! But you said it well in one of the videos.... Just fück em'! 🤩
There was a girl in one of my Facebook groups showing off pictures of the new pink congo she had just bought online. I commented letting her know she should do alittle research and someone else commented sending her to your original video. Thankfully I think she was able to cancel her order and get a refund.
There is no one out there like you Kaylee, this was brilliant. The power of the info, the consideration for the plant community, editing, style but for fucking real, the music was BANGIN’. So so up my alley!!!
Girl PLEASE we need a rare plant scandals Netflix doc from you 😭😭😭😭😭
This felt like a horror/thriller flick and I LOVED it! My husband (not a plant guy but loves horror films), is gonna watch this with me! 😁 Thank you, Kaylee for spilling the whole teapot!
Kaylee you’re genuinely such an amazing human being. You will never just stand around with your head in the sand, and let others take advantage of this community. Your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed, and you’re appreciated! 💛💚🧡
I’m blown away. This was so freaking good. The production quality on this video was phenomenal! You should feel so proud of this! Seriously top notch. Thank you for always calling out scams and operating with integrity, and holding others to the same standard. You’re the only big name I personally see talking about or calling out stuff like this regularly.
I don’t know if I should make alot of cookies or popcorn just for me eat while watching it the day it comes out?
Ooh if it was me I'd do popcorn 🍿 but I'm biased 🤣
Make both. Just to be safe lol
I was thinking tea 😂
For me chocolate... lol!
I made cake to go with that tea xD rasberry cake with rum/sugar glacing 😋
We should have 'plant content production' awards ceremonies. This would win. I would pay $$ to go visit a cinema for this. Seriously though, food for thought, I watched this looking at my "regular" red congo, and my very pretty Birkin which has some nice variegation coming through after 2 years. Thanks Kaylee!!
Bravo Kaylee!! That was so well done! Thank you for all of your hard work!! 👏🏻🐇
This is awesomely made! Such high quality, we're all blessed that Kaylee puts in the effort to educate.
Massive respect! I love all your videos but this is on another level. The editing is just perfect! 🖤
Loved every second of this! As always to the point and looking after plant community. And what a video editing and effect work!
This is so serious it’s hilarious. Love it. Can’t wait to tune in
I just wanted to say, thank you for everything that you do for the plant community. This video was 10/10 and I’m rewatching it now after the premiere. I’ll be doing my part to get this information out there. We’ve gotta protect the people who don’t know about this scam.
I could not see the premiere yesterday and I'm so sad because this video is so well done, I would have loved to share it with you ! I'm a photographer and I love the beauty and quality of your usual videos BUT this one is ANOTHER LEVEL ! The production, the visuals, the storytelling the music, the research all of this must have taken forever but it's so AMAZING !! You are my favorite content creator by far !! And thank you for raising awareness on this type of scams that are tarnishing the plant community ! Once again I'm blown away by this creation ! Bravo from France !!!
This was great. Really love your style for this video. Feel like you combined your plant love with your tech savvy brain on this one
Kaylee you did an amazing job on this! Well done! Bring us more like this! 👏
This video is SO well done. Bravo Kaylee Ellen. Thank you for being you. 🌱❤🌱❤
I am so completely pleased with this. Fantastic job, Kaylee. Thank you for your willingness to stand up for those of us not in the know. You, your script, research, editing, and storyboarding are nothing but bad ass! Love this so much. Thank you again!
kaylee's personal vendetta against the pink congo literally makes me so happy
(this is said in jest i swear)
I always LOVE this style of RUclips documentaries like Disrupt and Nexpo and to this for plants by you is amazing! I’m in love! Great job and I love this series!
Ok I’m obsessed with this. The drama and intensity, the editing, the creepy visuals…and the topic is also just fascinating. I really hope this becomes a series!
Absolutely incredible editing and production. Your hard work, dedication and passion for the work you do is awesome and I love following your journey.
This video was amazing! I’m so glad you’re exposing these scammers. Also, the editing gave off MamaMax vibes and I’m seriously here for it!
I love how you expressed your creative side in this video. Omg so good! Thank you for all you do to educate the community on these scams.
THIS VIDEO IS TOP NOTCH! Like honestly one of the best videos i’ve seen on any topic from any channel in a long time!!! I can really see the heart and hard work that you put in this video and it is MUCH appreciated!! KEEP IT UP!!
Your video editing is off the chart. I haven't even watched this thing through all the way and I'm impressed.
What a fun approach to this series!!! Loved every second of it! Congratulations!
As always you are amazing!!! I love the new format and this is one of my favorite series that you do!
This reminds me in a way of a video that Summer Rayne Oakes did about critically endangered cacti being poached from the wild. I have mad respect for both of you for being so knowledgeable, honest, and always prioritizing environmentally and socially ethical practices over any possible personal gain. I've been an avid plant parent for 10 years and have more than tripled my plant knowledge--and my knowledge of the way the plant market can affect the environment and customers if you're not careful--just within the past few months of finding these videos. Thank you so much for everything you bring to the table. Also... the mere thought of whatever chemical they use makes me want to barf. Anyone who doesn't respect the environment has no goddamn place making a living off of it.
Much love
watching it for the third time now! What an amazing quality of a video. Educative & entertaining, thank you SO much Kaylee for doing this & sharing it in such an awesome way. This definitely shows a very dark side of the plant industry that must be shared before it's getting even more out of control. I'll definitely spread the word!
Thank you Kaylee for everything you do!
Kaylee, you're amazing!
Thank you so much for all your hard work and keeping everyone informed.
Plants are such an amazing and fulfilling thing to own and care for and it kills me that there are people out there that take advantage of the vulnerable. Keep doing what your doing and let us know what we can do to help!
Love almost everything about this video, the information, the editing, the effects but the masks, I’m probably going to have nightmares about those
Thank you for your due diligence Kaylee Ellen! I loved this post it totally ROCKED! It was great! Keep up the investigative reporting. Thank you again!
I loved this so fucking much. Please keep making these!!! High quality content for sure. Thank you for calling out all these scammers, preying on the people just getting into the plant world. I can't wait to see more 💚
Thoroughly enjoyed the update. I'm a few months into the hobby and the information is much needed, not just for this plant but to know about just one more plant scam. Your videos are super informative and send me into research mode often. Also, I would like to say the creativity in this video was great. Different than usual and visually appealing. Thanks for putting the time and effort into this. I assume it was not a light undertaking🌱
The HOURS of work, the creativity, the editing 😱😍 thank you so much!
And this is why I’m so grateful to have come across your channel early in the pandemic as I, too, had peaked an interest in houseplants. Always trusted your knowledge and judgment, and will continue to do so. You’re doing a great job and doing everything in your power to notify new hobbyists about the scams and that you certainly cannot trust everything you see on the internet. Much love and respect, 👌🏻❤️
Great video with even greater information! The editing on this is *chefs kiss*. Didn’t realize all these chemical pink plants are popping up now. Thanks Kaylee!
I absolutely love this video for 3 reasons. 1- the story line is very interesting and informative. Idk they were making new plant scams. So thanks for the update! 2- the editing is phenomenal 😍 👌 3- the way you tell the story period just drags us in even more. . You have a wonderful gift. Thank you for letting me escape the world for a few minutes.
Yes Kaylee! This was amazing to watch! Thanks to you and all who helped you make this happen! Too good!
Omg! I loved this video! Kaylee you are over the top with this one! Visually entertaining, informative, and overall dynamic. A wonderful subject to examine. I know this must have taken a boatload of time to edit and film. Thank you so very much. 🐇🔥💯
Great video Kaylee 🙌🙌 Spread the word girl, we appreciate your research more than you’ll ever know 💗
WOW. This was fucking awesome. I loved watching this video, been so excited since you teased it. I had no idea what this video was going to be about since I was not a subscriber at the time you released previous dish the dirt'. Thank you SO much for bringing so much awareness to this situation.
So awesome that you do this series! Thank you for caring so deeply about the houseplant community. Chemicals in plants has been happening for a while. It happens a lot with orchids. We bought one from a company called Just Add Ice and they inject the plant. This way the flowers show up a bight blue with hints of purple and pink. They didn't have anything written on the tag about the chemical injections but they did have information about it on their website
It still does happen a lot with some holiday-specific plants that you buy at the supermarket, but these have been going on for so long that pretty much everybody knows about it and is still willing to pay $20 to have a good-looking plant that'll last for a few months. I'm not against it as long as the seller is honest and doesn't overcharge for it being rare or special.
This is true with orchids my sister bought one thinking it's was deep purple. Next time it bloomed it was light pink 😭😳
Great video! I noticed recently some minor drama about pink congo on FB here in Czech republic and now I see it's even crazier.
Just a big fucking standing ovation to Kaylee Ellen this was amazing. Thank fucking God there is someone that will say the truth.
It was the best video!! Totally an eye opener, I never new about it until I watched it. It was sad but it needs to be put out there to inform us and to prevent us from buying fake plants. Thank you 💯
love the editing style of this video! and these educational/more informative videos are my favorite
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Always the realest!!! Watching with my mouth open! It’s truly upsetting that basically every community is full of scammers. There’s a difference when it’s advertised that the plant is chemically induced and we still buy it vrs being tricked into buying a falsely advertised plant.
Awesome video! Would definitely want more of this! You must get so much hate from other sellers for doing this, thank you so much for taking that and looking out for us❤️
I love these thank you for bringing it back!😀😀😀!!!!!!!
Amazing video, badass approach, and truthful! Keeping people educated is so important! Scammers should note that Kaylee has her eyes open, and is ready to pounce and call them out!🖤
The production and direction on this video is stunning. This would have been so easy to make just posting screenshots and doing a voice over or talking to the camera. I appreciate all the time and commitment put into this video
This was UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING!!! Love, love, love the art, you should be so proud!!!!
The editing on this video is so much fun. I really enjoyed it. And it is so awesome that you, as a plant seller, are out here protecting consumers from the shady dealings in the industry.
This was really dope. Love to see the other passions Kaylee has shine through her content. Makes it unique!
I’m about 37 seconds in and this is absolutely amazing. You have killed it once again Kaylee🖤
This is SO different from your usual video, I can see how it has been polarizing. But it’s amazing to see both of your talents coming together to create epic videos!! I for one am impressed with your video and editing skills, the timing with everything is spot on, and your voice over is so perfect; it’s soothing and calming somehow too! It’s awesome to see your personality coming through in all aspects. Also, this really does feel like a Netflix documentary, like some comments have said.
This was so epic!!! Extremely well done!! 🌟 you’re a legend!
Great video Kaylee... wonderfully put together 💕
Kaylee!! 💚 This video was so creative and dark and twisty. Nicely done with the plant exposures and things buyers can do to try to help themselves. Totally dig your Dish the Dirt persona.
Kaylee this video is so amazingly done
Such an awesome video!! The drama of it all😍😍😍yass you went off. Loved it.
i love how powerful she gets as it progresses, kaylee, this is a masterpiece and thank you.
you're scaring me Kaylee. . . And I like it.
I so appreciate Kaylee's dark quirky side (having one myself)!
This was actually amazing!! Loved it. Thank you for your knowledge!
God, I remember watching you years back, even before the pink congo scam
It's incredible how much you've elevated the quality of your videos, holy fuck
Amazing job on the video, Kaylee! Very information and extremely entertaining. You look gorgeous, as always! Thank you for the info!
So pumped for this! Also really happy someone is talking about the Pink Congo shit going on. The amount of "pink" Micans and Melano's I've seen for sale is ridiculous.
I love that you're branching out and having fun with your videos! I love the editing and videography so much! ❤️
Kaylee rulez - the best youtube-video I've seen in a long time ... great script, great editing, cool lighting, camera, music + informations - absolutely STUNNING!
Finally got time to finish watching this. Enjoyed it. Thanks for the effort put into this video when you could have done the same as before.
Amazing work Kaylee, on every aspect. What a piece!
This video is such a mood! Loved the tongue in cheek mock seriousness. Ridiculously entertaining! X
Kaylee Ellen thank you for this video!! I didnt know about the new fakes.
I really enjoyed watching this, thank you for wonderful visuals!
Thankyou for presenting this in such a entertaining, creative way! You actually gave me the chills at the end😆🥶
Coolest video I've seen in a long time, great job on editing, you guys! Thank you for being you Kaylee!
Thank you so much Kaylee for the facts you shared to us! Kudos!
WOW the quality of that video. It's another level. It's ART. Thank you Kaylee.
This is amazing work! Thank you for digging into the “dirt” for us.
Wow, no holding back. I love all of the info and tips you're giving. If this was a live event, I would be standing and clapping.
The editing is definitely a change, but it’s so incredibly well done!! Keep up the fabulous work, and keep dishing ALL the dirt!
This is amazing!!! U have such a talent. Glad i found you all those years ago. Great content as allways. Love fridays even more cuz of u ❤️.
