Your thoughts on fish Youtubers like Paul Cuffaro, Catch Em All Fishing, and Nick Bingo?

I don’t know the others well enough but I can say with certainty that cuffaro is a joke.
Nick Bingo bought a very expensive saltwater stingray native to the Pacific. For views he released it in one of the mangrove estuaries near his house and caught it on video with a net.
irresponsible, Catch em all releases sick fish from his kiddy pool into local waterways and puts on youtube for views. Don't know Nick Bingo but from the video you describe, sounds like I won't be giving him any views.

The scary thing is that their 9 year old following is growing. These are the people in our hobby that are completely careless with not just fish but other animals.
Don’t go a lot on those type of you tubers tbh! I think they only do it for views which equals money!!! I prefer the ones where I will actually learn something from! Always watched pond guru and just found micks fish uk and he seems like a genuine fish guy!
All of them are terrible influences to new aquarists and care about views more than the well being of the fish
For instence paul cuffaro decide to put a gulper cat in a 30 gallon
Catch em all vacumed up fish with airline hosing and called it a "fish safe" roller coaster

This is from another youtube named monster mike (A different one) His crimes involve puting oscars in 2 gallons jewel cichlids in 2 gallons put fish in tic tac containers and keeps pacus in 55 gallons
The worst thing is actual people who have a wealth of knowledge have subpar views and subscribers. Marks aquatics is a great youtube and has hundreds of videos but only has 50k ( I say only). It's disappointing.... but it is life; you always see those models who are happy and always on vacation, I guess its a bit like that.
