If it's the case that we want to get this guy shut down, we have two potential courses of action:
1. Continue Posting on This Thread, and Others.
Making the thread longer, with more mentions of the "Timeless Watch Channel" will help with threads exposing his behavior winning SEO and showing up higher in search results.
2. Mass Report The Timeless Watch Channel's Instagram and Youtube Videos
It's quite clear that this theft is not an isolated incident. Likely, the only way to Oisin from continuing to thieve from unsuspecting followers is to get his social media shut down, as this appears to be how every victim has made the connection with him.
On Instagram
- Go to Report => Report Account => It's posting content that shouldn't be in Instagram => "Scam or Fraud"
On Youtube, things are a little bit more tricky, as we cannot report the channel as a whole. We have to report individual videos. However, this will have the effect of getting the videos demonetized, if not deleted completely.
For individual videos, you can do the following:
- Make sure to pause the video once you open it so that Youtube recognizes you're not watching it.
- Report (typically hidden under the three dots above the subscribe button if on desktop) => Hateful or Abusive Content => Abusing Vulnerable Individuals.
- From what I understand, once we reach a certain number of reports, the video will be flagged for review by Youtube. When any channel gets three strikes for violating community guidelines, it is removed. Violation of community guidelines on their own can force a video to be demonetized.
While it is the case that we do not want to give him views, de-platforming The Timeless Watch Channel will likely prevent more people from becoming victims, and cutting off a revenue stream will likely add to the gravity of the situation. It seems Oisin thinks we're just a small forum without much ability to do anything, and that by live-streaming once or twice he can dismiss everything to his broader follower base. We can show him this is patently untrue.
