I thought it was a good idea too, I even watched the content for a bit.
It’s entertaining in a weird way, but watching some guy getting beat up and then seeing the, heavily edited, “evidence” being presented really turned me off. There was a controversy, the 18 year old guy showing up for a date with a “17 year old” and being assaulted was a real incident, and so the police were involved. Their investigation found all kinds of shady things: credit card fraud, CSAM, chat logs including sexual chats with minors etc.
It all sounds good in theory, but the kind of people who would choose to do this are not the kind of people who you would trust to do it effectively. It’s more like that they want to prey on people too and that’s a lot easier to do (i. e. Generate funding) if you’re pretending to do something noble.
