Wow Asmongold reacted to my video. I’ll have to have a $2 steak and microwaved potato to celebrate tonight.
W video
🤗
What set you off to investigate them? Just curiosity?
@@tequilawhiskey I saw them being sponsored on every video. I had no interest in buying from them but I was curious so I went to their site and it looked fishy as hell.
@@ShaferScott well they are definately everywhere. I expect theyre cleaning house.
Growing up playing runescape in the early to mid 2000s has taught me to never trust anyone online. That has worked very well for me over the past 15 years.
@@Denden971 it's the quartering. Are you surprised?
Bro i will trim your armour
Being Scottish myself I find it hilarious that people would honestly think it would be easy to become a Lord or Lady 😂
Seemed a little too easy and reminded me of the "buy a star" thing that happened decades ago.
Yea, like if 1 square foot can make you a lord, some random farmer with a few hectars can open his own kingdom or what?
Seriously, wtf
I thought everyone knew it was BS and considered it a joke. Its even funnier to know most people believe it.
@@andrew8168 I know a guy who ever since he "became" a lord, he has gotten super invested in Scottish traditions. He often wears a kilt alongside other scottish attire.
I always thought everyone knew it was a gag gift.
Wait...does this mean that when my aunt paid $10 to buy a star for me when I was 8, that didn't give me the legal right to refer to myself as "Starlord"?
I've been living a lie 😞
Can you rent me some space on your star bro?
It's OK Starlord. Live the dream buddy
The square metre of Mars my dad got me was a lie? NOOO
"Wait! There's another name you might know me by. Starlord"
"Who?"
"Starlord man... Legendary outlaw? Guys?"
The title of Starlord entitles you to a free Romulan ale aboard the Starship Enterprize with Captain Kirk, Mr Spock and Darth Vader. One free Battlif sharpening at the Klingon shop of your choice. And a five year supply of Tribble Chow............... Not bad for being a Starlord.
This isn't the first time this has been done, so i'm actually surprised creators fell for it AGAIN.
same creators or different creators?
I mean as a content creator why wouldn't you? as long as there is plausible deniability that you might not have known it was a scam, thats a free $20k babyyyyy
Lmao 😂 they are in on the game
They have 20.000 reasons a month to fall for it so yeah
The old "name a star / planet after a loved one as a gift" grift.
Like literally half of YTs creators have been sponsored by this scam, this is massive lol.
And they got paid good and their viewers scammed.
Basically consigning their viewers to be scammed, shit people these guys
But they’ve been paid. Shame on consumers for not also looking into it in addition to the people taking the scammers money blindly like that. I wonder what they were offered. They should come forward and reveal
@@dlazyace9116
Some people are deleting their videos at this point to redo them without the scam content.
This is why I never buy anything online unless I see actual reviews(not bots) with pictures and go through at l east 3 different websites. I have been scammed before due to an ex-friend and never again I'm gonna go through that experience again.
Nonetheless, if a youtuber promotes something in their channel, there's a 95% of the time that their products are fake/faulty or not as advertised. If a product needs to be sponsored HEAVILY, then it is more likely to be a scam(excluding brands, they are just expensive).
If a company claims they plant trees you can 100% asume its a scam
😂🤣
My local tattoo guy does this. 1 fruit tree for every hour. 2 times a year he will make a public event to go out and plant 100s of trees. We also get sandwiches and cake.
Well they can plant the tree, dumping 10 kg of seed on the ground count as planting tree, cost almost nothing and covers them for any legal lawsuit
What about team trees?
@@FraterCalmStreet Team trees worked with some decent partners for all I know.
Team Seas however dropped the ball hard. One of their partners was pretty much a vanity project that doesn't have any sort of real effect. When it rolled around I donated to Team trees instead because of it. The other project they sponsored was good though.
Established titles is negligible compared to how much of a scam Kamikoto Knives also mentioned to be run by the same company is. They sell what is a $5-10 knife for hundreds of $$$ using marketing like "Japanese steels" etc
@@xXSinForLifeXx I don't really agree. I think most people would rather spend $50+ on what is essentially a gag to begin with even without it being a scam as opposed to $400+ for a knife scam. $400+ knives aren't the issue, the issue is what's delivered, there are many knives in the premium knife market that individually sell for $400 + but they're usually made of extremely durable steels like Bohler M390 or Crucibles S90V to name a few, while kamikoto's knives are made from 420J2 steel. To put it into perspective, a $15 gas station knife with a wacky design is made commonly from dogshit Chinese 440C steel, but even 440C is a huge upgrade from how cheap and soft 420J2 is.
I would rather pay $50+ for the gag of calling myself a lord, than pay $400-800 and expect $400-800 in quality knives but recieved something worse than a $20 knife set from walmart
Shadiversity debunked those Kamikoto knives in an extensive review.
As soon as I heard the company had their hands in kamikoto, I knew it was 110% all scam lol
thequartering advertised kamikoto a lot XDD!
yeah, they’re selling knives of similar quality to basic knives you’d buy at Walmart with an over bloated price tag
@@marcusmeins1839 So does Midnight's Edge...and they do Established Titles too!
I was literally at the dinner table last night asking if this would be a good gift idea, and I got roasted by my relatives for how dumb it was. Safe to say they were right lol
I was going to get one for my son as a funny little gift. Reeeeally happy I didn't. HA. >.
You win some, you lose some.
Ur humble enough to admit when ur wrong and didnt get defensive about it. You may have been wrong about established titles but your attitude and thinking are the right way to go.
Get ready for the apology videos. Mutas was pretty good. Someone should make a tier list when this is all done from best apology to worst (established titles edition)
@@Violent_Wolfen Tbh most of them probably just saw the money and didn't care if it was a scam or not.
Muta is a known conman
@@gay_rtard0_0 he cons other scammers haha
@@gay_rtard0_0 dog content filled with ads, aswell as G fuel with lead in it to children
i would say muta apology video is 3/10.
he didnt start with a dog or by adjusting the camera and then sigh.
To shed some light on the knives bit. I'm training to be a welder at school and we just talked about how metallurgy works. Specifically in steel. So in order to make steel you need to have carbon in iron. In order to control the amount of carbon you have in the steel so it's not too brittle or just having more carbon then there are iron molecules for them to bond to and you get shitty cast iron, you need to get it hot enough so you get pure iron. But those ovens didn't exist back in the days where steel started to overtake copper in viability.
So how did the control the amount of carbon in the blade to make it weapons grade steel?
Simple. You brought the carbon to the surface by hammering in and folding it a random amount of times, wrote down how many times you folded it and if it was good steel for a blade and did it again with more or less folds. Now how did they make steel in Japan? In order to get the metal they cooked sand from the beach and then found the dark glass that had higher amounts of iron and then cooked those down.
This made _HORRIBLE_ steel. It was _garbage_
The reason Damascus steel is so impressive is not because it makes stronger steel. It's because the amount of dedication and craftsmanship it takes to turn that level of shit iron into steel by folding it hundreds of times to get an adequate level of carbon to the surface to make a viable sword is impressive. Not because the result is better then other steels.
Most people probably saw it like the "Buying a star" type gag gift that's at least a decent donation to a good cause + sweet sweet cash. Like I saw at least 5 RUclipsrs today release videos with them as a sponsor.
That's what philip defiance said about it. It's a good gag gift
I dunno, I think it sounds believable enough that most are convinced it's actually true, especially americans who usually aren't all that educated about european cultures.
If it was put forth in a clear "this is a gag gift" way, then sure, but it's really not, it's put forth in a matter-of-fact way.
@@invertexyz As if any country in europe besides the UK and Ireland would be educated on Scottish title culture
@@rayquaza1245 I'm not saying that specifically, just that they are less likely to be gullible about it because it's not as foreign to them.
@@ellarasei4404 That is called saving face. It is a scam born out of a company running other scams. They already have many red flags but what portion are they donating to the tree planting charity? That is the final question. It actually doesn't matter since it is a clear scam anyways. This isn't a pet rock type situation.
I would love to see some RUclipsr/journalist to buy this "land" and then demnading the right to actually physically visit it and record the reaction of the scammer company.
The fact that the script given said you could have lord or lady added to legal documents here in the States from getting this is what made me go. Okay. This isn't real haha
The thing is they said you could have your name changed on things that don't need your legal name, so they are >technically< not lying.
@@kevinenloe6470 "nothing"
I mean, you can have fictional pronouns in your legal document in the states, so technically, yes you could, but that's only because US is run by dumb monkeys
Not sure about the states but it worked in the UK for me. I am a Lord on my official passport with a title from a similar business.
@@TheKoolBean But are you actually one?
damn everything is a scam nowadays, my trust issues have skyrocketed
Truth is the game was rigged from the start
can i buy some of those shares?
I mean... if your buying anything from a youtube video with a segment labeled as "AD" i dont really know what else you should expect. If anyone fell for this its solely due to their own stupidity and fully deserved.
@@patrickbaklava7297 It's just playmoney, right? :D
Good
The whole Deal Dash type company was a HUGE thing 12-15 years ago. There were TV ads and everything for these companies that were charging you per bid and they always showed huge items sold for "99%" off.
I remember my brother getting swept up in it for a couple weeks until his girlfriend cut him off fromthe bank account to keep him from wasting money, lol.
@Annie Nunyabiz yea, it had a similar hook to gambling. I only ever went on the sites to look around but never acted on anything. Not to mention, if I remember correctly, usually if those items weren't sold for "enough" the timer would reset, over and over again. So even if you had the highest bid once the timer ran out, if the total wasn't above some invisible reserve I suppose they would just keep resetting it until the total crossed that threshold.
Kinda reminded me of Better Help, which was another sponsor that fell into controversy for it's shitty practices.
actually remember seeing an sponsored ad for them again recently, guess they hoping people forgot about all the BS.
Oh boy... I learned about how shady Better Help is from a Trap Lore Ross video where he talked about some deal they had with Travis Scott after the Astroworld tragedy.
And looking back now, looks like the video TLR did on Travis Scott and Better Help is sponsored by... Established fucking Titles. I can't make this shit up.
All these fly-by-night businesses are scammy and they don't hide it. BetterHelp came off as a scam. Kamikoto came off as a scam -- I know a lot of knife companies, weird how this legendary Japanese knifemaker came out of nowhere to sell extremely expensive knives. These are on the level of Cutco knifes that rely on "direct marketing" schemes or the outrageously expensive Kirby vacuum cleaners that are so good the company had to rely on Multi-Level Marketing aka a pyramid scheme to sell them. Established Titles is one of those ad pitches that reeks of BS right off the bat -- oh right, the Scottish government is just letting some new startup sell the country 1 sq ft at a time to foreigners and allowing them to get the title of Lord or Lady. We are to assume that Scotland is fine with tens of thousands of foreigners being named Scottish Lords and Ladies because they bought a tiny chunk of land. And the lady on the Deal Dash commercials is winning thousands of dollars in products by just bid a buck or two each.
Ads for scams will always exist because a sucker is born every minute.
The same people who fell for that are now pushing established titles/ kamikoto knives (same parent company, same people running it) like phillip de franco …
they are literally everywhere on podcasts it is mind boggling how content creators and or their managers do look into the companies that are sponsoring them
Any time you see a sponsor, always, always, ALWAYS scrutenise it thoroughly.
BetterHelp is a deceptive lie. Hello Fresh is making you pay more for what a jaunt to the grocer's and an online search can get you for much cheaper. Established Titles is a flat-out scam. Kamikoto are low-grade Chinese knives, and so on.
I looked into it for a family member, but decided to email asking a few clarifying questions. To their credit, they did respond saying that they are technically “souvenir plots,” and that the legal ownership stays with the company, but that Established Titles “takes their customers ownership very seriously.”
But when I asked another question about “is established titles a Scottish-owned/operated company?” …they ghosted me hahaha
How many companies at this points are just scams or horrible people
most of them. 93,5 %
Almost all lol it’s pretty obvious
@@tomik6537 there's youtuber scammers tho haha
@@kevinenloe6470 not this one though right? people are just "tripping" over nothing lol
youtube is the best source of scams .
Many successfu youtubers are scammers themselves and aren't going to care if their sponsors are scams, as shown by Asmon's reaction
"You can buy land in Scotland and become a Lord!"
"Can I become a Citizen of Scotland with a Lordship?"
"No. You must remain in Detroit."
I've never thought of these as scams but always as gag-gifts, but I guess when you start advertising this the way they did it's only fair to call them out.
Ironically, I just got an ad for Established Titles having a Black Friday sale... while watching your video about it being a scam/lie lol
As a seminarian, I can attest that while I do not know why Asmon’s dad was awarded those titles, a Reverend Doctor is a Christian academic who has been both ordained in the Church (usually Episcopal, but meaning that they are a priest, or reverend) and been awarded a doctorate certification in a subject, presumably something related to the Church.
Again, no idea how Asmon’s dad achieved that certification, or if he was awarded an Honorary doctorate, but those words do have meaning within academia
It's almost certainly another scam
And Established Titles have made the rounds this holiday season. SO many RUclipsrs where sponsored by them.
But I honestly never took ET seriously its like buying land on the moon or a star. It's BS and a total gag. But they don't advertise like that so its crummy among other reasons.
@@An.Unsought.Thought facts
“It’ll work itself out” about the steak knife made me genuinely laugh out loud. Not sure why. 😂
This lord and lady thing blew up a while ago too, but not on the level I have seen this last week alone, its wild, every single person I watch is advertising this. People never read the fine print. When they first did this some years ago, a lot of people were using this certificate they got to try and change their name here in the US to show lord or lady on their legal documents such as driver license and stuff, when it came out that you were not a real lord or lady it went quiet for a while and no one was talking about it anymore (they didn't advertise planting trees originally).
You can change your name or even go by any alias you want...so never understood established titles in the first place. I am fascinated by this because I didn't think people actually bought these sleazy sponsors. I thought it was some part of the video everyone skipped, and that it was just a "status quo" that creators were forced to take on sponsors because youtube stopped "paying enough."
@@dendrien There are plenty of morally bankrupt ways to legally make money if you’re a psychopath. Stop assuming everyone is.
The thing that grinds my gears about Someordinarygamers is that he's roasted scams just like this in his Dark Web Browsing series he knows better.
Surely human made no mistake
Some of his last few videos are about him making a mistake, so no, he probably doesn't realize it until it's too late.
Anytime it's based in China, Jamaica, India, Taiwan, or Nigeria... it is always a scam.
True xd
Racist
They literally tried to smear this guy as a racist just for mentioning that theyre based in hong kong. Quite a stretch
Hong Koong Resident here, English a common language and everyone speaks it. However, a lot of mainland china companies will structure overseas companies into HK markets to gain access to its stock exchange and be relevant in overseas markets, as it is still considered to be a special administrative region with a currency linked to the US Dollar and ties to international countries, it gives legitimacy to potential scams. It's unfortunate, but that's how it is.
Stop trying to pin this on Mainland China..rofl. Hongkong folks scam all the time XD
Being from Scotland I assumed everyone knew it was a gag. It’s the kind of thing staff would buy their boss at Christmas for fun 😅
Well that didn't stop the company and RUclipsrs from exaggerating it. Just because something is so absurd people should be skeptical right away doesn't mean it's not a scam. And when huge RUclipsrs are all taking sponsorships, that gives it credibility.
I saw this ad thought it was weird how they are giving random plots of land lol
It took me 10 seconds of research to figure out this was a scam when they first started promoting it over a year ago.
It's crazy that about half of the RUclipsrs I watch were promoting this again over the past month
it's really not that crazy, considering they're being paid.
rent's not exactly going down in this economy.
I didn't even need to research to know that's a scam, the whole premise is just dumb, only american could believe that kind of bs
I fell for the scam with the Chinese guy who draws a portrait of your soul mate based on your birth date and place.
Somehow i knew this was not possible, but the story was good lol
If you fell for that then you're ngmi brother, sorry
FINALLY, someone is FINALLY covering this!! Whats deeply ironic is that the Content Creators who are promoting this nonsense are youtubers who research & examine shady companies & groups. It's like exposing a criminal syndicate while not knowing you are being sponsored by a criminal syndicate lol
The Democrat party?
@@ASoberBear nope, Republicans who steal from charities, we get it, you can't get that left nut out of your mouth, grow up
This reminded me of how the Supermega boys (Matt in particular) bought a "star" and named it Ryan Magee for like 100 bucks.
The certificate never came and the actual star never changed its name lmao
4:30 About why is this even a law:
Imagine you're a company that builds some form of infrastructure, like electrical cables. In 10, 20 or 30 years some city starts developing near the plot of land that has 50 different owners for each square foot. You need to lay down 5 meters of cable, crossing said plot. Suddenly a simple job for which the paperwork would be handled in like a month becomes a job that will take years, because you need to contact and receive a written agreement from every single owner under whose land your cable would be passing. This effectively means that a plot of land will become completely useless and the city will be never able to develop it in any way, shape or form.
I was actually thinking about buying this for my brother and father for Christmas. Glad I watched this before I actually bought it.
It always looked like a gag gift. Also typically if you are willing to spend 50 dollars for a title you were not in the position to be hurt by a 50 dollar purchase
@@demonvictim I was tempted to buy this for me and my boyfriend. I most certainly would've been hurt by this because I don't make a lot of money. I just impulsively buy things ✨️
@@sevxone I think the idea was people thought a tree would be planted on their land to save the forests
Is this the same as whatnot app?
same
Everyone knows that it is a gag gift or something you do to flex. Therefore it can't be a scam. Like carnival games. You know that it's rigged against you but you pay anyway.
its like back in the day when they used to sell "moon rocks" for just $19.99
The amount of youtubers I've seen advertising this scam in insane LOL
for 20k , i think it wasn't that bad for them .
The funny thing is another one of their "successful" companies kamikoto knifes is also a scammer company that shadiversity did a video on.
I remember taking one look at kamikoto and going yeah with a name like that, not Japanese....
i think that if it was clear that the lord and lady thing is actually a gag gift and they actually plant trees, then maybe its not an issue. the way it stands it doesn't look good.
Yeah still say if they were honest it's a gag gift and do actually plant trees then I don't see an issue... It's been sold as a real thing though... Not cool
Lmfao, ‘like for me, if I see a knife and it cuts a steak, that’s the end of the knife search’, comedy gold right there.🤣🤣🤣
My first name is Laird. It freaks me out hearing my name said this often and zack saying it. It's a pretty uncommon name in north America and most new people I meet screw up my name because it doesnt register properly. I usually get Leonard, Larry and Lars
Used to frequent a BBQ place in Tennessee called "Laird's". Nice small town place with great food and prices.
I came from a family of farmers who owned land. My mother works as an administrative officer in our local government's land assessment office. It took close to 20 years to divide and tranfer land ownership from my great grandfather to my grandmother and her siblings. It took around 10 years for my mother and her siblings to divide and transfer land title from my grandmother to them. The transfer process took around 3 months. 2 months to process all the papers and 4 weeks to post the transfer to the local paper. And she had to take a leave from work since she's one of the officers in the department that process and asses land.
A lot of Scottish woodlands are already protected by the government, I believe the ones Established Titles bought are already protected and they cant add any extra protection. So it is protected regardless of who owns it.
Kamikoto knives are also complete scams. They're worse than a $10 knife from Wal-Mart yet they cost over $100. The Japanese steel line alone is enough to tell anybody who knows litterly ANYTHING about knives and blade steel that they're complete shit. Who gives 2 fucks where the steel is from, I can make steel in my basement but it doesn't make it worth a fuck. And saying it's made the same way Japanese swords were made 1k years ago is NOT anything good, metallurgy has advanced a thousand years since then, nobody wants a modern blade made in the same way they did back then. Ppl didn't have any idea what was actually in the materiel back then and it made for steel full of impurities. In tests their knives dull with a single slice of a tomato, even a bargain bin knife lasts longer than that. At least it comes with a decent sharpener cause you'll definitely need it if you wanna use it more than once. But most ppl also don't know how to correctly sharpen a knife, it takes LOTS of practice. But that just shows they know just how bad their knives really are.
From what I've been reading about them apparently their knives are made in china and no japanese parts are used lol
@@jreverie7018 of course. That being said there are some amazing knives made in China. That being said this isn't one of them lol
@@zackphy very true well said
I would guess the reverend doctor title may have come from the same place where I was ordained as a minister myself, the "Universal Life Church". It was a popular wat to get a title that would allow you to perform a wedding (after registering with your state or whatever method is required where you live) They are still around, and seem to be more legit than this "Lords and Ladies" scam.
I'm Scottish and ive called this out on other videos, chael sonnen does this ad far too often and I could tell it was a scam! Feels good being right!
Actually Hong Kong has one of the world's most stringent and vetted business laws in the world. The biggest financing and investing companies from the US and UK put billions of dollars into filtering and vetting their business through Hong Kong.
In terms of business laws around the world, there really isn't anything they're doing that is unlawful with the exception of false advertisement through charity donation vs actual planting of trees and the supplying your own auction. The rest is shady but just because you've been tricked by them doesn't mean they broke any laws. Business laws exist not to make sure nobody loses but to establish standards. Unfortunately it's often the standard that one profits through another's loss.
This Established Titles shit is a really good scam scheme in terms of the "get away with it" aspect. I think people buy it in a meme way only and the charity part is just yeah ok whatever, when they have this mentality even if they know now that it's a scam they wouldn't really care or be that upset.
I bought one as a gag gift. Don’t care at all if I actually bought land or not. A funny certificate calling my Dad a lord was funny enough it was worth it. Not once did we think we actually own anything literally 😂.
But I guess that’s not how they market it but I got what I paid for, i wouldn’t consider me being scammed.
Asmon talking about his dad getting titles, I got drunk one night and paid for a "course" that gave me the title of "Reverend". I complety forgot about it until 10 years later when that Australian government sent me a letter in the mail with the title in front of my name. It's gotta be real if the government recognises it right?
I seriously need to rethink my subscriptions. Almost all of them have tried to sell this so clearly they just take money and ask questions later.
@13:00 I visited Hong Kong once for work, and was surprised to find that almost everyone there spoke better English than the average American. By a lot.
The island that was British for 400 years?
I'm shocked people are NOW realizing its a scam. Shit was shady the moment they mention what the fuck they were selling... A piece of land that you cannot even physically go to and for a charity will little recognition. Like, that's just a bad deal, and the whole "Title" thing is just fucking stupid if you have some knowledge on how land ownership works.
Any RUclipsr who took the money and advertised their "product" should be fucking questioned on their legitimacy as this should have been an obvious scam.
A ton of ppl are doing the komikota knives as well
this ad has been a thing for years, I remember seeing one like 10 years ago but maybe it was another company
@@Denden971 The Quartering doesn't do research, I use to watch him all the time but then I did research on some of the topics after his video out of interest and found he leaves things out that go against his main point. I think he just didn't care about the scams, it was just for the money either way
Feels like an evolution of the "buy a star" scam
Yeah I was surprised to see cinnamon toast ken start using them a sponsor. I always knew it was a scam years ago
Its a gag present... Whats next? "Biggest scam ever, your parents never actually stole your nose!"
To anyone doubting established titles, I'd recommend checking out FactFiends video on them, since they've worked hard to be transparent about the sponsors they take on and do research on the companies they work with.
Short story, no its not legally making you a lord, you don't own the land. It's a novelty gift, and it gives an amount of money to charity.
Let's fail together is actually a good slogan for startup founds company as its totally OK for most of projects to fail
Even if this was not a scam, it is still a scam. 😂
You could make the argument that the creator isn’t really at fault because how would they know but when it is happening multiple times with the same creator with different companies that end up being scams, i.e. FTX, and now establish titles, it becomes harder and harder to make that argument
You could also make the argument that it takes 5 minutes to do the research needed to avoid these scams completely. But hey that’s just too high of an expectation apparently.
@@billycarver124 lol yes and many of these big-time creators have lawyers so it’s not like they couldn’t talk to them
The title of the video is : "RUclips's Biggest Scam".
14:00 When I heard "Japanese Steel" I immediately thought "So it's really fucking low quality then?"
Japanese iron is INCREDIBLY low quality, it's why they had to come up with their forging techniques.
Lmao. Coffezillq aint gonna cover this, he’s friends with muta.😂😂
Every tree donation to One Tree Planted only costs $1.
Even if Established Titles actually does donate a tree for every “lordship” purchase, that would still be a 4,900% markup over the actual donation without adding any value in the process. Ignoring everything else, that’s still a scam.
You’d get 49x more trees by avoiding them, and save a piece of “land title” paper that’s worth less than the tree it’s printed on.
i mean established titles sounded like a scam EVERYTIME i heard an ad about it. its kinda funny ngl.
It sounds like a gag gift, not a scam. Like a plot on the moon or a sealand passport. This whole thing is overblown.
Even if they actually planted a tree, its still a scam. You're literally paying a company so you can feel good about yourself.
And what makes that a scam? Would it be scam if I asked people to pay me to send them a letter saying they are awesome?
Even if they donate the money for one tree, it is a scam. One tree planting does not cost $50, they pocket the remainder of the money. It's a scam in any way and anyone who fell for this got idiot-taxed and the content creators who took this sponsorship should just admit that they were greedy and did not care about it being a scam.
Those who fell for the scam, get a refund from the website
Anyone that fell for this doesn’t deserve a refund. A fool and their money…..
@@lesterparker1594 will soon multiply, right!?
Well this explains why it was so cheap. 🤷 my instincts always said something was off, glad I didn't waste my money

@@Denden971 yeah I think a lot of RUclipsrs promote scams and just don't care as long as they get paid. You know what my favorite videos are? Where a RUclipsr will make a video about a big scammer and expose them while being themselves sponsored by another scammer 😂
Kamikoto knives are made in China, and they are a Chinese company out of Hong Kong. The parent company is Galton Voysey. So, no, they are not a Japanese owned or operated brand, and if you search “Kamikoto knives fake,” you will come across a number of articles also calling out their deceptive practices.
Honestly they all should be ashamed of themselves and donate all the money they gained from it to a charity. They did literally no research into who the sponsor is. Not looking at who your sponsor is is not an excuse for promoting a scam
Some ordinary gamers already responded, let's see what the rest does
This always repeats, people promote a scam, say that theyre sorry and then do it again few months later
I thought about buying the title just for lolz , but it seemed fishy and i thought its a scam, but didn't do any research. Same as with FTX, something didnt feel right. I guess that my BS detector works quite good
meh
9:15 in no way is it a "shade of gray", it's a scam and an expensive one at that. It's $50 usd, which is a lot pretty much anywhere in the world for a piece of paper. Are we really at the point where you're gonna say "oh if it doesn't completely financially cripple you or end your life, it's not bad it's just a shade of gray"? No, $50 usd is a lot of money, especially if you're in another country like Canada or other third world countries where $50 usd goes a lot further.
Fact Fiend has a good video on this subject too. They actually looked into the charity and contacted Established Titles. The video is worth a watch to get both sides of the story.
"If I saw a knife and it could cut a steak, then I feel like that's the end of the knife search" LMAO
Honestly, with how long this has taken to come out, I'm not surprised most creators wouldn't notice even when trying to do due diligence. Like Asmon said, they don't probably know what to look for. Maybe failed ventures should found a company which evaluates potential sponsors for youtubers . They do have a lot of experience with all kinds of scams!
If they don't know what to look for then perhaps they shouldn't be signing contracts to shill companies they know nothing about just for the sake of a few $'s Next time it could be something that actually does damage to people and result in legal difficulties where "but I didn't know" is not an excuse that will hold up in court
@@Pete0M Sure, that seems like a reasonable take. While we're at it lets all stop getting up in the morning and lie in our beds until we die of old age, just in case we could harm somebody otherwise.
@@stefanrabenstein3753 Sure I forgot integrity isn't in the vocabulary of the modern generation
@@Pete0M you confuse integrity with competency. Not having integrity implies intent.
Established Titles literally sponsors every creator RN! Any video I watch from various types of channels, I see an Established Titles sponsorship!
Literally almost all of the RUclipsrs I watch promoted this company. It's crazy to think how much money they have to spend in promotion. It means that A LOT of people are falling for this scam.
Just yesterday I called this. It's always the same shit. When a company comes out of the blue and sponsors a fuck ton of creators in every single categorical corner on the platform it is always a scam.
Stay safe guys, love you all
Love you too
I feel so bad that AVGN is sponsored by Kamikoto.
I hate that companies like this can exist. Just selling people utter garbage, or nothing at all, while the owners still become millionaires.
"The Quartering" And "Most Trusted Creators" being said together is something I never thought I'd hear, absolutely hilarious.
Me either, but I don't think this dude was gonna pass up a chance to throw "The Quartering" in there, just to burn him. I mean, I wouldn't be able to resist, saw 3 videos of him and now all I can think is, "Damn, so suicide could have been the answer with someone besides Hitler,"

Just take the black pill already.
These guys are pretty clever, coming up with multiple things to make people throw money away, using things like historical value and tradition, things that are considered valuable but intangible, like titles and knifes made with traditional methods from some other countries, they are cashing on "perceived" values that doesn't even exist and people feel good throwing money at it.
Whats crazy is there are multiple videos from a couple years ago calling this out as a scam... My tier list of credible personalities might be changing. 🤦
Lol they're still running ads for it
It's "name a star" all over again.
The 1 square foot plot of land thing is not legally legitimate according to Scottish Law, and even Wikipedia can show this. That being said, the rest of the idea >could< work, where they basically plant trees in a private forest in your name, and the service acts as a way to preserve forestland. But who knows if that part is actually legitimate either. It turns out that actual tree planters are paid $1 per tree, because I know someone who used to do that as a summer job, so if they charge you >$50 for some documents and pay to plant one tree, that leave them a huge margin for profit, but knowing them, they probably don't even bother with the tree.
BTW Kamikoto knives is also made from ultra-cheap steel out of China which is generally compatible with your grocery store quality knives but then are upsold for hundreds of dollars.
It's a law, because other companies have tried this as well, Look up Highland Titles, which Established Titles copied. Highland Titles has existed for like 16 years, Established Titles has been around about 2 years, and it was already known 2 years ago they were scummy.
He says that the land the company owns is protected land (where you can't build anything) so buying it doesn't do anything for the environment. As for planting trees, in the UK that's quite difficult, a lot of the land will just kill the trees.
