I Exposed a Fake Guru and Got Sued Immediately

I Exposed a Fake Guru and Got Sued Immediately
I published a video exposing a $6,800 YouTube coaching scheme. The program in question is Creator OS, formerly Creator Monetize, formerly Creator Income, operated by Otavio Zerbini, a 21 year old who cold pitched my channel promising $10,000 to $50,000 per month for $6,800 upfront. His program is part of a broader guru pipeline connected to Imperium Acquisition, founded by Charlie Morgan, which teaches people to make money by teaching other people how to make money. Within days, my video was hit with a copyright strike from a music rights company. On a video with no music in it. Then came the lawsuit. Then a second copyright strike from a different claimant, three days after YouTube's team manually reinstated the video. This is the playbook these operations use to silence critics. Documented in real time, with receipts. If you're a small creator, a journalist, or anyone thinking about making critical content on YouTube, watch this video first.
