Oh who would have guessed? I think out of like 20 people I connected to the first time I used Omegla, there was only one dude, ONE DUDE, who wasn't a bot or a creep. We talked about TV shows we watched as kids.
@@Yamezzzz they have allowed it. Mostly because of incompetence. They have had numerous softcore child porn videos on their site, even suspected sex trafficking ads, that were up for months before independent investigators informed youtube about it. They only seem on the ball when it comes to banning investigators, and rarely the actual pedophiles
Who uses the word "crap" when sending out a professional address? That response was so unprofessional that they gave themselves away right then and there.
The message literally reminds me of when the Club Penguin Online creator 'Riley' made a message denouncing paedo accusations against him. Then a few days later his house was raided by police and it was uncovered the accusations were true.
Their website is made and run by pedos. you cannot justify the ease to create an account, to have veteran users go around the blocked words so easily, to make it harder to report the user, then to actually ignore chats that in less then 3 minutes of a guy admitting they are over 18 and wanting to vid chat a girl who is 13, ban anyone that is calling them out. Yeah they are either predators themselves/completely incompetent of how to set safety standards/don't give a shit about the users just the money. or all three. but my money is either they are predators or are getting paid by predators to make it easier. Parents No public chat is ever safe enough. if you do not know the people personally chatting with your child STOP! all it takes is one predator to destroy a young child's life. every social media needs to be heavily monitored because where kids are predators are.
Good thing this video was age-restricted, cuz it sure would be awful if kids were able to watch this and be warned of the potential dangers on the internet 🙄
Even chat rooms not aimed at kids can be crawling with pedos. If you’ve used a site like Omegle, you know what I’m talking about. And if you say something like I should’ve known better and I shouldn’t be on there anyways, that’s not an excuse for predatory behavior. And I by no means am the only person my age on the site. Almost all high schooler and middle schoolers have used a site like that. Most times I would lie about my age but the few times I decided to tell the truth, most of the guys were still interested in nudes. Keep in mind the youngest I was using site like that was at 11-12. It’s disgusting how many are secret pedos.
miiverse might have been the only good platform for children, but i’m not rlly sure, this is based off of my own personal experience tho (never interacted with any fishy people on there as a kid, thank god)
When I was younger, there was a social networking site just for middle school and high school students. You could only get in by being invited by a friend, and you had to list your exact school and what year you're in. It was pretty safe, never heard of any incidents.
@@garyoneal237 Kids shouldn't be allowed to have smartphones. They should have classical cell phones, that way they'd have a higher likelihood of only being in contact with people they no in-person, especially this day and age when the majority of people have smartphones.
@@neo-didact9285 I agree, even with every parental control in the world, kids these days are smart enough to disable them and re-enable them without their parents being any the wiser. I didn't get my first phone until I was sixteen, and that was a Sprint flip phone.
Not necessarily. Not all predators are middle aged white guys. 41% of those who sexually abuse children are female, and as for age range, it's pretty broad.
Holy shit, that entire section where you go in undercover is amazing. Totally silent, letting only your actions and editing communicate your rage and the horror of this place. It's bonechilling.
@@sluggishkitten I think so too, because paedophilia often isn't explained in detail outside of stranger danger. It will also expose children to content which you basically want them to avoid, which I can understand is a bit of an ethical question. You can educate children on paedophilia and internet safety without showing them excerpts of actual paedophiles.
i think most of these sorts of videos calling out these sorts of harmful websites and sneaky methods predators use to get at kids who dont know better should not be age-restricted simply because i dont think enough parents go out of there way to find content like this and then effectively convey the information to their children. sure videos like this might frighten some kids to some degree, but id much rather a kid be afraid of the internet than end up ignorantly giving away their address to a kidnapper because they werent properly warned about the danger they're putting themselves into just because the most popular video hosting website on Earth age-restricts (or straight-up bans) every video that does any work towards spreading awareness of the issue.
Not only banning him but after they banned him they said who the RU-vidr was and then puts max on blast bc “ he has personal issues” and that apparently discredits him
Ever since I saw this video, specifically the part where MamaMax says how he wants to have "the artistic freedom to express himself" as if hunting down p*doph*les on the internet was his "filmaking art project" I had the feeling that this guy was hiding something, that he had other intentions, I mean, look at this 18:24 this whole notion of the "vigilante who spits foam for the rage of justice" always seemed like nonsense to me. But I never could have imagined that MamaMax would end up being a complete fraud. I'm still kinda shocked. I don't know man, it might be a good idea to remove this video, because it has aged terribly.
came back here for this EXACT reason. something felt off cause it seemed like he cared more about the art than exposing those criminals. even if he had good intentions he's fucked up these situations with so much mishandling that it actually might get the guys off their charges.
@@Orcawsom Yeah exactly, not to mention the cases we know he fabricated. There's one when he insinuates that the creator of IMVU is somewhat responsible for the suicide of a girl, but we know for a confession he made on discord that "she is ok": either he lied about her being dead or she was not even real in the first place. It's so messed up
Personally I think he should just edit out the parts of the video and description with MamaMax and make it a standalone video about KidsChat if he's able to do so; the site did (and still does) exist and the issues with poor moderation seemed to be pretty legitimate, considering Ryan was able to go on and see it for himself. I checked the WayBack Machine and KidsChat has indeed existed since 1999 and there's multiple captures of the site throughout the 2000s and 2010s, with the same basic rules and guidelines each time. Had Max fabricated it, he would've had to have done so decades in advance, which I find hard to believe. While we know for a fact that Max has fabricated the stories behind many of his videos, KidsChat is very real, even if Max just used its misdeeds for clout.
lmao everyone i talk to my age has had a groomer interaction like this. it's disturbing how common it is, it's even weirder that so many people dont realize. and it is _never_ the child's fault.
you know with such a heavy topic that kinda behavior is pretty pathetic on nexpos part, is it like too much to ask to check the people you're working with?
@@raynesidus1876 none of the commentary channels or commentators have broached the issue that Nexpo’s answers and how he handle Max in his personal and professional life cast a lot of doubt on his ability to be an “investigator” (excluding Tommy C who did briefly talk about Nexpo being an “idiot”). Not doing any research, vetting, screening and due diligence on a friend is one thing, but Max was frequently a business collaborator and Nexpo vouchrd for Max’s ability as a pred hunter. I’m not sure how to view Nexpo’s conclusions on say, Lake City Quiet Pills if behind the scenes Nexpo admits to not really reading or scrutinizing any claims he recieves
I just went to check out to see if the website is still active, and it absolutely is. Posing as a 13 year old girl, I received direct chats from no fewer than 4 guys within less than 5 minutes of logging in as a guest. One of them directly asked within 2 messages if I wanted to meet. I am disgusted and appalled that this site is still up as of 21 July 2022.
Did this now and it’s still like this. This one person apparently got mad I didn’t listen to him and reported me, and MY account got IP banned from the site
This is a KIDS chatting room, there’s an adult chatting room that I was in and sometimes when the admins suspect someone to be underage they pretend to also be 15-16 and chat with them, get friendly get a confession from the user who is probably underage and Ban them from the app. If an adult app can do this, a kids app should take necessary actions first.
Just got banned for “spamming troll” when all I was doing was saying that the site is a hub for predators. They know what they’re doing, keep hitting them.
I didn't watch it, but had the realization when I was cruising through NEXPO's videos 🤣. I remember when this video came out, I hated it because Mamamax had begun shifting his channel to pedo hunting. I was worried Nexpo was gonna do the same thing.
@Deasy782 I literally stopped watching Nexpo after this video, only came back after Mamamax got exposed. You can literally hear Nexpo crawl further and further up his own ass as the video goes on and you know it was Max that was stoking the flames. I unsubbed because his last 3 or so videos around this time had similar pretentious editing styles as this one so I figured it was only going to get worse. Genuine question, does his content still have this annoying edgy flair to it like it does in this?
I like to soothe myself by imagining that since a lot of these creeps are lying about their ages they end up just talking to each other instead of actual children.
@@michaelmiller8600 im even more shocked learning that a 19 year old would be allowed. You're absolutrly right that those two ages should not be interacting like that
@@michaelmiller8600 All social media allow chatting no matter the ages though. The fact that they allow 19 year olds is unusual for sure, but at the same time I don't think being 18 and talking to a 13 year old is much different from being 19 and doing the same.
@@NMEsEverywhere It's not only that. Even if this site was actually 100% used by kids and teens, it still wouldn't be appropriate. Most of what they talk about is sex and being horny and the chat is not monitored like at all. I'm sure at those ages we all talked a bit about sex ect., but their chats are really too much for such ages.
It's these types of sites and people that keep me up at night, worrying about my younger cousins and sisters, I usually try to monitor the sites they're in, but when I'm not home, I'm super worried about their safety.
My boyfriend sent me a tik tok once about marriage. And I tried to respond “I can’t wait to marry you” and was flagged because apparently that’s inappropriate. But literal predators can roam free on the internet. I have literally no words.
@@Jablicek Actually they aren't obliged to care about profit, if that was the case Amazon wouldn't exist as they didn't make a profit for nearly a decade after going public.
"users older than 19 are not allowed" 1. how old are the creators of this website 2. Nexpo: *exposes a 20 year old in the first 2 minutes of the video*
Point number 1 doesn't hold very well. It's like asking "why are adults making children's cartoons?!". Do you honestly expect children to animate, write, go to business meetings, etc? It's perfectly fine for adults to maintain and moderate a children's area. You know... Like kindergarten.
I'm tremendously disappointed in RU-vid. They took down something that needed to be said. Pedophiles should not be allowed to walk. I found out the hard way my ex was a predator. I was caught in the middle of a very bad, abusive relationship. I got to see the dark sides of this person. I experienced a predator first hand and it makes me absolutely disgusted. Report every predator you can. Don't let them get off scotch free like RU-vid did.
pedophiles are not the same as sexual predators. pedophiles are attracted to children, just like we are attracted to the other gender. it's quite tragic and should not be taken lightly or ignored. child molesters on the other hand take it too far and give in to their feelings, which is wrong.
@@timbroski4487 as hard as it is, I wish this point was brought up more often so that "good" ones can actually have the courage to seek help. Some of them are actually aware they have a problem and will allow themselves to be locked up and put on medications that completely dissolve any sex drive. It's a sad way to live but it's better than being an actual child molester or dead. I mean I'd personally rather be dead if I were born to feel that way but some want to live and so I guess good on them for finding a way to do it right. But yeah actual predators can get throat fucked with a screwdriver lmao
Not to mention the bio saying "are you bored and want to meet random strangers". If you put that in the bio for a KIDS website, you know that the website isn't for kids.
When I was 13-14, many years ago, I thought adults acting like this toward me was normal and I had to be super polite to them so they wouldn't get mad if I outright said "no" so I'm glad someone is actually doing something about this. I could've ended up in a horrible position as a kid, I was not aware of this at the time and I'm 26 now, finally know this was grooming behavior toward me.
"no one over the age of 19 is allowed on our website" bruh. thats like saying "no one is allowed to rob this bank" then leaving the door and the vault open at midnight with no guards or employees around. how could they possibly think that just saying "hey thats not allowed!" will actually stop anyone at all?" The answer: they dont. I'm 100% convinced that the creators of the website are in on, or at the very least dont care about whatever dark deeds are committed on their site.
actually i’ve been there and they ban people for trying to trade links. they can only ban people from what they say in the main chat tho they can’t see dms. and there are a lot of real kids there. mostly young kids. young kids and old guys :/ but anyway yeah it’s very toxic and infiltrated by pedos ranging from teens to 60s. i even went on a rampage once and started calling them out and telling them to duck off and not only did the kids defend the pedos, i got banned for being rude or sum.
I did, it was really good. It showed him actually chatting with and confronting these pedos, hardly what anyone would call "bullying". RU-vid is very clearly protecting these horrid people.
I used to use a site like this when I was like 9. Thinking back on all the people who messaged me makes me feel sick. I remember telling people my age and they would respond with “I’m 31 I hope that’s okay, or age is just a number” makes me feel ill, especially how I had no idea what was going on in their minds
Interesting. You'd think they'd want to allow VPNs and proxies if they're trying to support chomos. I get that Nexpo thinks that the site is trying to be good, but they absolutely are not.
@@Willow1w the problem with it being an FBI honeypot is there really aren't any protections for actual kids that end up on the sight. I mean, they can't even block users! If it's an FBI honeypot they are exploiting actual children and using them. It would be no less horrifying.
Sadly I was one of those kids starting in 2002 when my family gave me my first computer. The moderation back then wasn't really something anyone tried to do or talked about from what I remember. It was very open and made you very prone to the wrong stuff as a kid with no parental involvement. I was preyed on multiple times by people who knew my age and I knew theirs. I was in a neglectful abusive home so the attention I received from these people made me feel better. They gave me something I was lacking and made me feel wanted. I never met them in person but almost did a few times.. The things these people told me is sickening. I think back and feel sick to my stomach and so grateful that I came out of it safer than others. One of the predators stalked me for years online even into my early twenties. He originally told me he was 20ish when I was 14 but he was 70 married with grand kids. He often talked about rescuing me from my home and having me stay with him and doing things to me when his wife wasn't home. It was pretty terrifying tbh but he felt like the only person who cared for me at the time.
Sometimes ROBLOX has a good reason to censor so much things in their website or people would be using it to talk to teens inappropriately or even kids.
@EkiEdits Roblox used to use this around 2012, purely because of people abusing the chat system. sometime between 2012 and 2016 they changed it back to a chat box, but the current censored version.
@panda cat1175 of being a mod...I'm sorry, W H A T? Listen, if you're innocent, I'd quit ASAP, before you implicate yourself, and if you're helping with the gross shit on that site, I hope the FBI gets the site shut down before your negligence can hurt more kids...And if you're bullshitting, phew...
“13 u” “20. Is that okay?” 13-year-old me “dated” multiple 20-year-olds. Thought I was so cool back then for being with older men. Now it just makes me sick to my stomach.
omg same, there was a chat room i would go on which i am struggling to remember the name of, but back then i was young and wouldnt have understood pedophilia and its so gross thinking about it. even tho i lied to them on it for my own privacy i was still too young and its horrible.
Can confirm there are predators on there. Just tried it, got a message from a random sicko, yes absolutely gross disgusting bastards on that site! It needs to be taken down! 😡
I seen RU-vid take down horror stuff because it unsafe for children but then i see videos that targeted at kids that have sex and other disgusting things and youtube won't do shit.
I've seen reuploads of Worldcorp videos on this site. Actual child p***philia on this site without as much as an age restriction. Yet Max's video, and channels as trivial and harmless as Xboxaddictionz, get removed and censored. This site is fùcked up.
thank god people are talking about this. my little cousin used this site and i was horrified by what was being said in it. i’ve been trying to report it for ages and there’s been absolutely nothing done about it. most of the moderators are literal children and there’s blatant trading of illegal content within the main chat. i hope this gains the traction needed to finally rid the internet of this disgusting site.
@C Ernesto this is a bit different tho...? We're talking about a website that looks like it was MADE for pedophiles to find victims... Blocking it is not the same as "you said a naughty word, I will take away youtube kids from you without telling" 🤦♂️
@@lumpchunker5516 Ignore him. Just one of those snarks that come to an old video after recent news to make a "witty" comment and smile smugly to themselves. It's not worth your time.
I grew up with the internet in the early 2000's and "asl" was a common greeting everyone used when you first met someone new online. I don't think it's a term used much at all these days except by predators apparently.
@@thedude9418 it's mostly used in online chatrooms that have some sense of anonymity to it. i grew up using omegle (yuck) and saw it frequently. hell i even saw it used on moshi monsters forums! but a lot of those chatrooms aren't very mainstream anymore, and with the way social media has advanced - there's no need to question someone on their a, s, or l, as they're probably in their bio or something lol
I actually have a relative that works for a three letter agency-I wasn’t told much when I brought this up, but this website is 100% a honeypot. Bringing attention to it is actually doing more harm than good. The predators should feel like it was created by someone like them and that they’re safe. This is also the reason the videos were taken down.
I'm seeing a shift in RU-vid's stance on predators, I watch 'AnxietyWar' whenever he uploads and he has had to reupload his most recent video 3 times, and 'PredatorsPoachers Bay City' has had one of their recent videos removed for the same reason "Harassment and Cyberbullying". RU-vid is making predators a protected class to do what they want online and it is absolutely disgusting.
atariDC_ loopy? There is a problem with RU-vid and the Ped0s who are starting to get their hands on RU-vid and getting people’s videos about the problem taken down
I went to the site pretty much right after watching this video out of a sort of morbid curiosity and 1) its pretty much still a cesspool in 2022 they have bots "monitoring" things but I got hit up by two separate people in seconds under my guest account where I said I was 14 and female 2) I noticed at 5:38 when Nexpo was making his guest account that the youngest you could say you were was 13 and I thought that was bad - guess what?? Now the age limit is fucking nine. Nine years old. I literally cannot believe it. I know this video is two years old and probably doesn't receive much traffic anymore, but this is ridiculous. Clearly nothing was really done about this site, despite multiple well-documented accounts of pedophilia and harassment. It hurts my very soul to know things like this go on right under our noses.
I checked today and same thing. I cannot remotely believe there isnt enough evidence to shut it down. It is utterly disgusting how this is allowed to go on.
I agree!!! I just found nexpo channel and u must say after watching this video I regret not going into law enforcement to catch child predators. Every one of the child predators commenting on this horrendous site should be investigated. It just goes to show the people in higher authority have a part to play in allowing this horrible website to exist still today!
Honestly it seems like the site itself was created by predators. Their response to the video shows that either they haven't spent a single second actually checking their own platform, or they don't care/support it. There's absolutely no possible way that they don't see the problems with it
By just reading over some of the response post just shown in this video you can tell they were extremely salty anybody even called them out on it. They repeatedly said Mamamax's videos were "fake news" and "click bait" along with hoping that his channel is permanently banned. Obviously they are trying to hide that they know or have fostered such insidious behavior or else they would have been completely transparent about actions to address the issues.
they do see the problems and work on them a lot. its just unfortunate that mamamaxs video was taken down. its an isolated problem, theres no larger issue here, youtube are on it.
Either that or they realise they're in deep shit and will try anything to get the attention off of them and onto the people exposing them, trying to take them down
I found this website when I was 14. Being someone who had zero confidence in myself or really anything, I happily excepted these freaks as “friends” because they called my “beautiful” or “pretty”. I attracted all kinds of wrong, and still have these men leaching off me like parasites. I’m 17 now, but despite growing some sense I’m still harassed but them every day. I’ve never found the confidence to admit I had done stupid shit, shared pictures, said gross things, so here I am. Hopefully nobody makes the mistakes I have, because I surely have waited too long for help now.
I think the most disturbing thing about this is that the staff at this website is still regularly updating the website, putting up announcements and all that, but are actively ignoring the pedos on their fucking main page
The fact that they won't even address Nexpo or Max by name (they literally have been intentionally misspelling it as MoneyMax) shows how immature they are and the lack of gravity they are giving to the issue. These people want predators on their website and they want everyone else to fuck off about it.
This website still exists! It says in the rules that you have to be between 13 and 19 to go on the website but when you create a guest account you can select the age 10.... This is disgusting. I made a guest account with the name Sarah2010 and said my age was 10. I got 5 DMs within minutes. I can't believe this is allowed. I'm repulsed. I am reporting this website right now but I feel really upset because I doubt anything will be done...
this is a great point. any reputable kids site would ask for parents permission and an email address to contact the PARENT. just look at stuff like club penguin and nick
I didn't even think about that like most websites that have under 18s and they say that they are under 18 require a parents email to contact them this website doesn't have that kind of sus
Also, why did they use the word 'crap'? I'm not one of those people who think no one below the age of 18 swears, but still, this was an announcement, should've kept it a bit more professional.
awesome of you and max to expose these monsters. i can always appreciate people wanting to protect the kids. they're innocent. people like you guys truly make the world a better place.
And more than a year later... kids chat is still active. I disguised myself as a 14 yr old girl and within 5 minutes I had 20+ messages almost all of which were from older men. Fucking disgusting
@good kid m.a.a.d youtube you really don't need that, just have profile pic of a girl , change the gender and have a feminine name and you'll get inboxs like crazy.
Both are equally bad. Example; "Your true love and your mother have both been kidnapped but you can only take one of them alive, which do you chose?" Questions like these (also the comment itself) DO NOT HAVE CORRECT ANSWERS! Saying one is worse than the other is an OPINION 𝒏𝒐𝒕 a FACT.
What a god damn beautifully edited video of a horrifying subject. Every single edit... every single cut. Every single added effect left me feeling your rage at this situation. Beautiful. Beautiful.
I did some digging on this website after the video got removed and there are people explicitly showing how god awful this website is. RU-vid had a duty to protect its community but to what extent does that extend to educating a community on a frankly disgusting website? 81% of the US users of this platform are in the range of a minor age (statistica, 2019) so giving them some notice on something so harmful would have a HUGE impact.
@@Wasteland_raider I agree thats pretty dumb, but I think its because if you remove s it becomes hoe. But still, its much more funny if a child calls someone a shoe-
The website’s statement to their community might open with “Hey kids” but doesn’t read at all like it is geared toward children. More like they are subtly warning their *actual* community that they are coming under scrutiny.
You guys should see Mouthy Buddhas documentary on pedogate. Its insane. You should see it before youtube takes down his channel. His videos has been taken down several times already. What he will show you, no other youtuber will show you. You will understand, why youtube is protecting these pedophiles.
@@vipr1142 Yeah, sorry, if he's linked in any way to QAnon that's why videos of his would be taken down. A conspiratorial organization that started out as an anonymous troll post and who's main goal is to spread misinformation, is not a highly credible source of information and is likely to do more harm than good.
Honestly! I haven't seen anyone point out yet that in Max's video, in response to Arkham's reply that he needed screenshots, Max sent him a whole ass video/screen recording of when a pedo was trying to groom him. Yet in the response to Max's video post, it states no proof was ever given to Arkham
I think they are pedophiles themselves. I think they created this as a pedophile ring themselves. It’s not so clever considering they have been exposed multiple times.
It really says a lot about RU-vid that they consider posting content exposing child predators to be a form of bullying and harassment. When it becomes a crime to report a crime, you're in way too deep.
