The eight-part "The Mind of Jake Paul" docu-series by Shane Dawson has recently come to an end. In the finale, Shane presented Jake with criticisms from our video, ("Parents' Worst Nightmare: Jake Paul",) namely that he is manipulating his young audience by advertising merch for up to 50% of the runtime of his videos.
Jake responded by saying his merch reminds people to be happy, that concerns about advertising to children are "stupid" and "ridiculous" and that we should "Shut up." Jake claimed that his merch advertisements really aren't that effective, and that a kid wouldn't believe that wearing Jake Paul merch would make them cool. There is a mountain of evidence that indicates Jake was lying to Shane and knows otherwise. He is a sophisticated marketer who owns numerous companies whose primary purpose is to deliver brand messaging to child audiences. One of Jake's companies, TeamXGlobal, offers Chinese brands the opportunity to capitalize on the American Social Influencer.

    I'm studying a bachelor's degree in marketing and communication and one of our teachers used Jake Paul as an example of super aggressive and illegal advertisiment to kids
  • @OodMarkikiki
    The Devil predicted that Jake's kid advertizing would have consequences on everyone on the platform. Nice. Thanks Jake.
  • @aidenzxk8642
    "some ambitious regulator is gonna come along, see what you're doing, and crack down on everybody." These guys predicted the new COPPA guidelines
  • @LeonLush
    Really counting on "The Conception of Jake Paul" to happen soon.
  • @Yobo200
    I love how Nerd city can absolutely destroy somebody while also somehow keeping it respectful (to a degree) and informative
  • @katzmfcat8661
    A while ago my little sister started watching jake Paul. Me and my little sister has always been taught to respect money and really question ourselves if it is worth the money. But when she started watching jake Paul it was almost like she changed.. she somehow convinced my dad that she should buy jake Paul’s merch and a hoodie is VERY expensive. + we live in a different country so shipping is also very expensive. She had saved money to buy a super expensive hoodie which was completely not something she would normally do. When I found out I questioned her about it and the only response I could get from her was “but it’s cool” and “I want it” and she only got more and more defensive about it. When the hoodie finally arrived she wanted to buy more, luckily my dad said no. She got extremely upset about that. But it didn’t take long for her to begin questioning what she had done. She regretted buying it since she barely had any money left. And she never wears it anymore, I don’t even think I’ve seen it in months. Now even she can’t understand why she bought it. Watching jake Paul literally changed her during that time. It’s fucking creepy
  • @boyinaband
    The whois registration lookup stuff was fantastic, you're one of the only youtubers I know that does a solid amount of research before switching on the camera for these types of videos. Run for office.
  • The devil-monologue was genius. Written and performed brilliantly. I don't know who the dude in the horns is, but he's great.
  • @GruntyGame
    I thought Jake was an idiot. Now I see it's just an act to attract immature kids while the real Mr Paul is a marketing master mind.
  • @cd9768
    Imagine being a serial killer and this guy is the detective. like, youre screwed bro
  • the Devil’s monologue is literally the message i’ve been trying to get out there all over twitter as soon as i saw Shane’s bullshit series! it’s good to know i’m not crazy and someone actually saw it! thank you mr. Devil☺️
  • @NakeyJakey
    did u guys know that nerd city is actually my mom AND Dad ??
  • "Jake's ambiguous, mouth-breathing responses to Shane" No fair, Doc, that's basically his only form of verbal communication.
