Vitaly's Kick account is down -- either he got banned, or he disabled it. kick.com/vitaly

Most predator catchers act as the decoys themselves or work very closely with a decoy on their team. This seems to be a new decoy team that Vitaly was working with (he's previously worked with Santi and 561PC, who are a bit more well known/experienced in this world).

Is the new algorithm automatically prioritizing braindead replies asking Grok how to breathe?

One of the few good things about X was the ability to search a URL and see who was sharing a piece of writing and read what they thought about it. I don't know when this capability disappeared—maybe weeks ago?—but it's so depressing to lose this window into a text's reception

@AricToler Hard to say this in a way that doesn’t sound condescending (honestly not my intention) - but why are you tweeting about streamers? This feels like gossip rather than investigative journalism.

It's been a big few days for the livestreaming platform Kick - Clavicular OD'd live on stream, was hospitalized - Vitaly did a "pedo catch" on a guy... but the decoy forgot to tell him that she was <18yo - Nuisance streamer Johnny Somali sentenced to 6mo of prison in S. Korea

@desni3_7 The Vitaly thing was a couple nights ago, not within 24 hours. JohnnySomali did stream on Kick but hasn't for a while because of obvious reasons.

@AricToler 1. These all happened within 24 hours. 2. Johnny Somali is not even a Kick streamer. Unrelated.

Other internet personalities, like Actionman (a fellow Kick streamer who was arrested last year after attacking a man during a livestreamed predator catch in a grocery store parking lot outside of Austin, TX), are denouncing Vitaly's video: x.com/Ac7ionMann/sta…
ACTIONMAN@Ac7ionMann

This is why police need to be the ones supervising these things. 1 innocent person throws out 1000 guilty. whole guys life is ruined because you wanted some easy content and clips. How do you make up for ruining someone life? What should the punishment be? disgusting vitaly and your chat barley moved while doing this bullshit.

Gift link to the predator hunter piece we worked on last year, if you haven't read, which includes much discussion on Vitaly along with a few other catchers (Dads Against Predators being the most prolific): nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Didn't take too long for Vitaly to end up with issues in his new catches, now that he's back from a Philippine prison: x.com/Akash_S9/statu…
Aric Toler@AricToler

Caught up on the @vitalyzdtv catches since he got back to the US. He's taking a more measured approach in his videos recently compared to pre-Philippines (no violence, prank shows, etc). Got Clavicular as a guest catcher for a couple streams too.
