Obviously, we denounce the video made on Ethan and we don't consider him a scammer. However, there is something that may come back to bite him in the butt when it comes to making the definition of the word "scam" out to be objective:

""Scam is a subjective term that means something different to different people." Wow, you are dumb as fuck. Scam means... here, let's define scam. "Scam: a dishonest scheme; a fraud", a "swindle"."

Surely we can all agree Coffeezilla would be the go-to YouTuber when it comes to exposing scams. The disclaimer was likely taken directly from him, with it saying this in his video descriptions:

"Scams, bad business opportunities, and fake gurus are subjective terms that mean different things to different people."

We tend to agree with that, not the least because of the show's own use of the term. The show has been great at calling out actual, objective scams and scammers, but other things have been called scams too, like OF managers, SEO crossposting, the Streamy Awards, Jay Shetty's podcast, Motrin, prescription glasses, and all that within this calendar year. Although some of those things are definitely scammy and scummy, we can't fairly call those objective or literal scams by definition.

We fear this would end up a slippery slope, especially in case of a lawsuit against the video and creator in question. If such a case were to focus on the term and its subjectivity as opposed to just on any malicious lies, it may well be discarded or could otherwise get the show in trouble for having used the word in subjective ways too.
