LuxuryPranks: Protecting The Kids

Hey guys, in my last video, oh wow, that was weird, sorry. Hello, in my last video, I revealed my new "Road Work Ahead" decals now available at First of all, I want to thank you guys. Much to all the support you guys showed for this on both YouTube and Twitter, in just a few weeks I was able to sell quite a few of these stickers and it felt good to stick them on a big company that was trying to profit off my work. So thank you very much for that. That said, there were some detractors. Some people seem to think their stickers should have counted as "transformative work" because they took the words I said...and wrote them down.

However, the worst and most common criticism I received, and this one I really understand, is that I was just in deep shit. Little stickers? Drawing. You don't understand how important this vine is to me. Well. This vine is my life. I want to express my loyalty to these words like the big strong man that I am and little stickers. It's just not going to be enough, sister. Now, I empathize with this sentiment and I respect it very much and that's why I decided to uh, hold on for a second and that's why I decided to sell this!

A life-size sign that says "jobs ahead", signed. For me. Now available at drawgoodenshop.com Yes, the signs are a little pricey, but that's only because it was expensive for me to get them and it was also a pain to ship them. But if you live in the United States and buy one, you will get free shipping. If you live outside the United States, it is subsidized. It's a little cheaper than it normally would be. It's still a good deal and if you stay until the end of the video I'll tell you how you can save $40. Man, I have the best merchandise.

Sorry for always trying to sell you things, but YouTube is my job and I have to accept it. Anyway, enjoy the rest of the video. That was the same transition as the last video. Sorry, hey kid. Welcome back to YouTube the Show. The only program about YouTube on YouTube. So today I want to show you a fun channel I found called LuxuryPranks and if that name is any indication of quality, then you know, we're in for a treat. Don't worry, although if you are a little off. for the word joke at this point because although they have been posting jokes on their channel for the past few years.

It's not his jokes I want to talk about, it's actually a much more specific genre of YouTube. They are participating. We are two guys in our 20s pretending to be Chris Hansen from the show "To Catch a Predator." YouTube's own shitty version of To Catch a Predator. This is by no means something new on YouTube and that's part of the reason this was so interesting to me a few years ago. It was a very common thing to see that the first people that come to mind are like Coby Person, J Station, even my boy Joey Salads, but what happens every time something becomes popular on YouTube is that you end up with all these people dating of Woodworks to capitalize on that trend and each iteration of that trend gradually gets worse and worse while still remaining popular in some way, and of course, popularity + shit equals the perfect formula for a comment channel to react, i.e. h3h3, Coby Person, Twins TV, etc.

And then the reaction videos surpass the initial videos in terms of popularity and it seems like everyone comes together to say Yes, that trend is bad and we're done with it forever, um, but of course, forever. On the internet it only means about 3 years because it seems like everyone has forgotten about that whole YouTube era and we're back to square one. LuxuryPranks is at the forefront of this YouTuber Chris Hansen Renaissance But why? 5 million, 4.8 million, 3.5, 7.9 million? But what's so special about these guys, huh? Let's go ahead and watch some other videos and see if we can figure it out starting with this one called The Female Predator "Hi, I'm Parker and this is LuxuryPranks.

With the help of our decoy actress Selena-" Who has a foot? Stop Oh shit. Okay, so let's go straight to Philip DeFranco style? Alright. "Are you ready Justin?" "Let's get to work!" Wait, she brought her boyfriend. She never said anything about a boyfriend. I hope he doesn't do anything strange. Hey, nothing weird so far. This guy is cool because he manages to watch the entire video without saying a word, just opening his mouth to growl, but then again, I guess if I was hired to play a pedophile in a YouTube video, I wouldn't want to use my real voice either.

Remember that episode of Drake and Josh when Josh was hired to play a criminal on a crime reenactment show and it ruined his life. Because from then on everyone thought that he was the theater bully and not just an innocent young man. Yes, that's what would happen. this guy if he didn't disguise his voice so well. Yes, don't pay attention to him at all. "HEY. Hey, what are you guys doing?" Do you think one thing all YouTube Chris Hansons have in common is that they're the least threatening guys in the world? "Hey, what are you guys doing?" Wait, what are you guys doing?

What is happening today? Arrested! "Okay, listen." "Uh, okay, sit here, stay here." I like it when the guy starts taking his shirt off again as she says her name is Samantha. Oh, this shit is good "You knew this girl-" "she was 14" "That's what was said in the Instagram direct messages" "We have the logs of all the conversations" "What are you doing? I wonder which It was his thought process." that phrase. 'No, she is not 14 years old, she told me yes'; Come on, just say any number other than 14. Some other age! "Yes, it was us, we organized this!" "You are sick people, you meet a girl who you think is 14 years old!" It was my wife who organized this!

Let's go, buddy." "Come on, let's call the police." of yelling at people for two minutes and then finally letting them back into the public. "Let's call the police." Wait, then they'll go call the police." police, but they didn't film that part. Don't you think it would be really good content if they filmed the police showing up and an arrest? Who would make a good video? It's so strange that they didn't. "Record that part. I wonder why they didn't do it. Is this how all their videos end? Here's one called Predator Trapped Under Girl's Bed. Are you sure there's someone under the bed?

It's hard to tell." Oh no, there it is. Okay. I see it now. I see it. Oh, I almost had it, but it ran away because you let it out the door. Again, I'm not sure what the cause is why I'm subscribing. It doesn't seem like it doesn't really do anything This one should be interesting, although Predator breaks our camera, ouch I love this one just for the backstory She's in what is clearly just a small motel room, but he comes in with the impression that, like his parents, they are gone. I'm at home, in the motel room.

And he goes straight for the hug, bold choice. I love how all the child predators in these videos are like the cartoon version cartoons of child predators. 'Come on, give me a kiss.' I'm a child predator, don't you realize? "Okay, help." But then, even though they look like very big men who could probably handle a one-on-one fight with this guy, they immediately backed away. 'Oh, you've cornered me!' Watch this matchup here. "Hey." Why are they so quick to give up any control? You could definitely overpower this guy on the way out the door. The other one is busy holding the camera.

Oh, I guess you went ahead and broke it, then he breaks the camera and I guess his penis. It came out because now they've censored that area, you know, I honestly feel bad for Chester. He seemed to start this video as he always does with great humor. Ready to take on another challenge. Let's get to work, but his favorite camera was destroyed. "Why did you do that?" Luckily, he somehow survived being stepped on multiple times because as you can see, they were still able to recover the footage to edit into the video, but as far as the ending goes, I really think they're going to call the police and the police this time.

They're going to show up because they've got him cornered in a little motel room, there's no back door, and this guy's trapped, you know? Oh, you pushed him towards the door. Why would they kick him out the door? Alright, things are starting to get a little sillier the more I look into this. This one is called a predator and he thinks he is 12. Okay, okay. So he just showed up at the house wearing that weird outfit that no one stopped him or thought about it. Also, why is there a chair right in front of the door?

Does everyone have a chair in front of the door? What is that chair for? I can help? I'm going. Anyway, as with our previous criminals, this guy doesn't hesitate to make things weird, he sits on the couch and asks for some hugs. - What does she say? No, thanks. I'm not interested in her. So he resorts to fake crying to try to make her feel bad. This is by far the best ending ever, although he just cries and collapses on the couch and then they fade to black. Oh, it's a masterpiece. These guys are true artists.

I really love your content. Now their videos are great, but something that really interests me about these guys is their merch. Visit our site. Free luxury merchandising. Quiet at first glance. They seem like pretty sophisticated things. I would even say luxurious. things, but it's starting to look like maybe that's not the case. I just noticed one item per customer or shipping won't work so we have to narrow it down to one thing which will be hard because all of these things look really good and they're all free the phone fan looks pretty interesting the sunglasses Chester are definitely quite attractive but I think it's going to be pretty hard for me to pass up this frayed yarn.

I think I should have the frayed wool sale ends in 6 minutes. . Oh shit, ring size 10. I don't know, the black one looks great. I think I'm going to go for gold, black, gender, men, material, metal, occasion, party style. Fashion. Those are all good things. Alright, Add to Cart adds a note to your order. Thanks guys I love the videos Chester is my favorite medium items shipping and handling 685. Okay. Alright, I think it's pretty doable $7.00 confirmed now, we hope. Come on, how long will this take? Alright, here at Free Luxury Merch, we bring you quality gifts for being loyal subscribers.

These gifts can be for yourself or a loved one. Well, that's how purchasing anything works and the prices stay free. So buying a couple of gifts won't break the bank. That's very thoughtful of you. But how long does your order take, friend, two to four weeks? I'll have to add a follow up in another video when the wolf ring arrives. I'm very excited about it. I didn't measure my fingers so I hope it fits, but I guess if you want to see a follow up you should go ahead and hit that subscribe. But they also mentioned in a video that they have a website called Project Luxury Org.

And that's how you contact them if you want to communicate with them and coordinate a covert operation. see in their videos. I'm definitely interested in that, but what makes a good story? What would be a good story? Hello, my name is Claire. I am reaching out here not because I have some kind of sting operation for you to facilitate, but in hopes of connecting with someone very special. Have been watching his videos for several months and I am absolutely in love with Chester Chester. I love his filmmaking skills, his work ethic and sense of style seem unbeatable in every way.

It's a real match. I would love the opportunity to meet this beautiful man. And this seemed like the most professional way to communicate. Thank you very much and we will talk to you soon. XO X is something people say, I don't know whose file it is. I should probably send a sexy photo of myself. Oh, she's beautiful. Alright, I feel pretty good about that. What the fuck, okay, I guess I only have one thing to think about and that's a wolf ring. When I first saw this yesterday, my initial reaction was okay, that's interesting. It's an interesting type of unique business. model for them to make a little extra money and I firmly believe that if you are going to work on YouTube full time, you have to be creative with the ways you make money, and this is certainly creative.

It's interesting. At first I thought, "Okay, good for them," but then I thought about it more and said, "Wait a minute." All of your videos are clearly and obviously fake, right? In reality, they are not profiting from child predators. Every person in their videos is an actor, which is fine. It's just entertainment and I find your videos entertaining, but then going and charging people money for a service you have no intention of ever providing seems like a scam, so I don't think that's really okay. I don't think so either after doing the math in my head and this is all speculation, but I don't think it's really necessary for them to do this because I think they've actually done a lot. of money last month, so bear with me while I do a little math for the next minute trying to speculate how much money they've made using the information I have as a YouTube creator and also what I've made.

I've heard from much bigger creators who make much more money than me. So let's start with this number:37 million visits in the last month. Obviously that's a lot of views, but it's not 37 million people. Let's say 10% of that is individual unique viewers. because most of those views are from the same person watching multiple videos or watching the same video multiple times. Let's say 10% of 37 million. That's around 4 million individual unique viewers in the past month. So, of those 4 million people, let's say 1%. Know that it will even serve to reduce that by half a point, 5 percent of 4 million people made luxury jokes or spent $ 5.5 percent of 4 million is 20,000 people multiplied by $5 is $100,000, which Now that I say it sounds ridiculous.

So let's cut it in half again. Let's say even $50,000. Let's say they got 10,000 people to visit this website because they had a really serious query or they were just like me and curious to see what would happen. They paid $5. That's potentially $50,000 this month from this strange website, but that's just one facet. Let's now look at their merchandise. I think it's also a pretty good business model because it gives you the impression, as a consumer, that you're getting something. free even though you are spending 6 or 7 dollars on shipping and I also promise you that they are not losing money on this Yes, they are selling things for free But these things are, let's be honest, garbage than if you buy in bulk almost anything. you can get it for very cheap.

I imagine you'll get all of these things probably for less than a dollar each. Also, shipping something if you have two to four week shipping, as they say, is also very cheap. So I'm going to assume that the profit margin is the approximately seven dollars they earn per item sold. Let's go with three dollars, three dollars per item sold multiplied by that same number twenty thousand people. Sixty thousand dollars in addition to the fifty thousand one hundred ten thousand. Dollars. So looking back at his YouTube channel, I'm pretty sure almost all of the videos are monetized.

So, 37 million views. That's a lot of money if it's monetized and it got mid-rolls and everything. But if it's just YouTube viewing revenue, which is revenue, you'll still earn even if something isn't monetized. Let's say at a fairly low CPM. That's about ten thousand dollars this month for 37 million views, so now we're at a hundred and twenty thousand, but the biggest wild card is their brand deals because every video they've released in the last few months is sponsored. They have three main ones. sponsors, two of which seem illegal, but the first are zap polls. It's one of those things where you fill out surveys and you get gift cards and stuff.

I don't know if it's real or not. But that is something that they have announced and then also. have phone monitor Which is an app that basically allows you to store someone else's phone and everything they do on it. Which only makes sense if you're using it like for your

kids

, but if you're just using it like for your girlfriend's phone. something fucked up Maybe don't do that. But then the third thing they announce seems pretty funny to me It's called two torrids It's such a beautiful night just look at that moon Just go to the torch calmly and if you're familiar with the nervous little bird, which was quite a deal for a while come back It's the same.

You pay someone to write an essay for you and then you hand in that essay and pass it off as your own work. That's illegal. I'm pretty sure I'm 99% sure it's illegal at least if you're in college or whatever you find out what you did you'd probably be expelled from your class and maybe even school. university So, they've worked with three questionable sponsors, but that's beside the point. We are just trying to calculate the income if they were good, smart businessmen. As I imagine them, they are negotiating these brand deals based on performance. Not just like a flat rate based on your subscribers basically generating a CPM.

So regardless of how many views you get, that's how much you're going to get paid, right? Let's say that of those 37 million views, 30 million are relevant views on current videos that would be factored into this CPM equation, where the other 7 million views are older videos, these retroactive views have no effect on this, TRUE? So let's say 30 million views cost $10 per minute, which is $10 per thousand views. It's $300,000, that's $300,000 plus our initial $120,000, which now seems like a pocket change and that's the grass number multiplied by one thousand four hundred and twenty thousand dollars. More or less, so if you're making that much money, maybe Maybe just go ahead and deactivate the fancy joke shop. website because you're doing it right without charging people five dollars for something you're not actually doing.

Another reason I went on that whole long tangent is because I've seen a lot of negativity recently around the idea of ​​doing YouTube full time basically having the notion that it's simply impossible due to poor advertising and that's only true if You enter YouTube thinking that you are going to make a full-time living from Adsense alone. That dream is not realistic. You have to be creative. So if you're someone who wants to do YouTube at some point, but you've had people who don't know what they're talking about, I'm telling you that's not even a viable option.

Even if you did make it. You wouldn't make any money. That's not true anyway. Luxury Jokes is the perfect example of a channel that is so anti-YouTube with everything it does. None of their videos are brand-friendly. None of them last more than ten minutes. None of them have mid-rolls, and yet, because they've gotten a little creative, I think they've been able to make a lot of money, right? And you can too. All you have to do is be creative, create interesting products to sell, get the music on the road. Why do you think all YouTubers are going on tour right now?

It's because you can make a lot of money touring and of course the most important and in my opinion the easiest thing to do when you're trying to make a living on YouTube are brand deals. There's nothing wrong with a sponsored post, I mean wouldn't that be funny? I'm just throwing this out there, wouldn't it be funny if we said this video was sponsored right? Like you didn't think it was but now suddenly you're thinking. Maybe it's because it's a man, I want to go out and enjoy this beautiful weather, but I have too much online shopping to do.

Hello. I am the moon. Oh my god, you scared the hell out of me. I am the moon. Wait, isn't it like 2 p.m.? Hey, I don't work for you. It's okay, I can be here if I want. Very good, I'm sorry. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm trying to find coupons for my online purchase. The problem is that none of them work there, whether expired or already used, or only for new customers. It's bullshit. I've been copying and pasting these codes for six days. I am so hungry. I just wish there was some kind of free browser extension I could download that would do this for me.

I said, "Just..." I heard you; I just don't know what you're talking about. Oh, I thought you were going to tell me about the honey, what I'm advertising. I don't have a computer, I guess I just assumed: I'm the moon. You're right. I don't know what I was thinking. It's okay though. I'll do it myself. Hello, I'm the guy who just talked to the moon and I'm here to tell you about honey, something for free. You should download it right now. If you are like me and buy everything online because you don't like to leave. your house But you also like to save money so listen.

Honey is a 100% free extension. You can download it in any browser you use: Google Chrome, Firefox Safari. I won't even say Internet Explorer because I know no one uses it. Do you want to spontaneously buy a cool gift for your girlfriend, your dad or your lizard? As soon as they click the payment button, Honey appears to remind them. I have this. Don't worry about that. And then the coupon boom. The other day I got to thinking: You know, fall and winter are coming and I really don't have many long-sleeved shirts. I should go to Gap's website and maybe see if they have any cool sweaters or whatever.

So I did, I went to pay and guess what? Six dollars, I didn't even have to do anything, he did it for me. There's no reason not to have this guy, seriously. Honey works on over 30,000 websites and is free and always will be, so go to joinhoney.com/drew or click the link in the description. Go there and tell them that it was I who sent you. It's not necessary because it will do it automatically if you just click on the link, but yeah, thank you all so much and back to you, Draw. Did you make that ad you read there?

Then you wouldn't have to set up the green screen. Yes, more or less. Yeah, I figured it guys. Thank you very much for watching today's video and thanks again to honey for sponsoring it again. Link in the description if you want. To download it it is 100% free. It's probably the coolest thing I've ever sponsored. on this channel and I'm going to say this out there that, hypothetically, if you were someone who wanted to, I don't know, buy something from my merchandise store and you had Honey installed before doing so. There may or may not be 20%. discount coupon that is automatically added to your order and I won't tell you what it is because you have to install Honey if you want to get it.

So, I'm just throwing that out there as a hypothetical that is 100% true and not hypothetical at all. So you should do that. And speaking of trying to get you guys to do things in a second, I'm doing a show in Burbank, California on September 1st wearing this exact costume. Regal Joe presents it. He's also in the show, Victor Pope Jr. Gabriel Gonzaga Cole Hirsch, is the poster of the century. There are a few tickets left if that's something you're interested in if you're in the California area, it's September 1st. Forget the theater, but I'll put all the information in the description.

So look at that and that's it guys. Thanks for watching. I'll be back as soon as humanly possible with more juicy video content for you. But in the meantime, enjoy these clips from the next episode. Oh hell yeah, my wolf ring arrived, time to hit the city. Wow, that wolf ring is amazing. OMG, look at that beautiful ring. Is that Danny González?
