The algorithm is something like this. So, for each information set of the last acting player determine the sub extensive form which is necessarily static that includes all players that have the same information as this information set ok. So, step 1 and step 2 solve the static game this static game step 3 replace this sub extensive form with a branch of equilibrium actions equilibrium action of the first acting player in the sub extensive form repeat until you are left branches of the first acting. Now, here is an here is an important thing. So, so you did you get the procedure essentially you start with the last information set its parent will be so the since every player has access to all the information of that its precedent had you would either have the additional information in which case the immediate parent node would be a singleton node or you would have the same information as the parent and you keep recursing like this then you will get to eventually a sub extensive form where it starts from a particular node and then you have singleton is you have one information set and then so that sub extensive form is going to be static solve that sub extensive form as a static game replace just get rid of that sub extensive form completely. So, you know see for example, this sub extensive form is going to be is a static game replace this with the equilibrium action of the first acting player of this sub extensive form ok. So, in this sub extensive form player 2 is the first acting player and suppose he was playing M in equilibrium replace this whole thing with M ok. So, just so it is like player 2 now is at this node and he is playing M and put in the payoff equilibrium payoff at this leave at this node this is clear. So, then player 2 would then it would be as if player 2 has 2 options to play L or to play M we have done something like this before also. So, essentially player 2 has to ask whether he has to get into this game or get into this game ok. So, keep doing this and eventually you will come to a stage where you have only the first acting player of the actual full game and just actions for it and you would have payoffs listed and you have to then pick the optimal game is this clear. So, that the resulting thing would defines for you an equilibrium of the dynamic game gives you an equilibrium of the dynamic because at every information set you would have specified an action for each player. Now, what is peculiar about the kind of 2 points first is what if you solve the static game and it turns out that there are multiple equilibria here. Suppose, for example, this static game was like a dear rabbit game and there are multiple equilibria here then what would you do. So, if there are 2 equilibria of this say for example, out here player there was one equilibrium which is M followed by M and something there is another equilibrium which is R and something else. You have to replace something to replace it with something. So, which of the 2 should I choose I have to replace this whole yellow tree with one of these equilibria. So, if there are multiple equilibria then which one should I be? So, what does that mean? Analyze both means. So, what this means is essentially it would mean that from here onwards it is indeterminate there could be 2 potential equally rationalizable solutions that are available. So, but what do you do with the algorithm what you need to do in that case if you have multiple equilibria you have to repeat the process with each. You pick one of them do this replacement and so on and proceed backwards. See when you replace you have to replace with the payoff for this particular for that equilibrium. So, for example, it could be that the 2 equilibria have the same action for player 2, but the payoffs for all the players could for the players could be different because others are playing something else. So, you have to make sure you are picking the right payoff from here. So, for example, if your equilibrium turns out to be this then this is the payoff your M followed by whatever then this is the payoff you need to list up when you replace. Now, there could be another equilibrium in which there is M followed by something else that could also be an equilibrium and in that case you put in this payoff. So, you have to be rigorous about that put in the payoff of that equilibrium. The equilibrium will be given by actions for this static game. So, if there are multiple equilibria, so if any static repeat process with each for each equilibrium. Now, another subtlety here is I have since I have mentioned sub extensive form will be static and so on. So, you could also have degenerate sub extensive form. So, for example, the last acting player could have a singleton information set which is this one in which case you have to just replace that guy with his action. So, I should not be very hard to say but this to see but that is essentially all you have to do. So, this is this is then a trivial sort of one player game for it. So, let me ask you one more thing. Now, if you look at the equilibria that come out of these games, what is peculiar about them? I mean, or rather the equilibria that come out of this algorithm, what is peculiar about them? So, that is true. It is not being violated. But in fact, it is being imposed recursively. So, you are at every sub extensive form or every small static game or maybe even at every singleton information that each player is acting rationally to the best of its capabilities. So, effectively, what is happening is a player is kind of is is not pre committing to an action before an information set arises because he is committing to an action that is tuned to that particular information set. So, pre committing to an action would be like, you know, would be threat equilibria have this property that there is a pre commitment. You announce any rational action at another information at an information set, even before that information set actually gets there that comes to that game. And then in the process, you ensure that the game does not reach that information set. So, but in this case, at every information set, you are is being analyzed in its own right and is being analyzed. And so every player is acting rationally at every information set, not just in the game at a whole as a whole. So, one way of interpreting the kind of the this out the sort of outcome that we get from here is that a player is committing partially. So, he is committing only that part of the strategy which is relevant at that state. So, later information sets that come later are being committed to when they arise. This is sort of a wait and watch type of type of mode of play. So, this is what is called delayed commitment. So, the term used for this is so the sort of equilibria that we are getting are equilibria of the delayed commitment type of the delayed commitment type.  Is this clear? And again, as I said, there is no guarantee that delaying commitment is going to be beneficial or anything like that. We have seen an example before. So, this game we had seen in the previous class where there were we saw that there are this player one hand was playing first and player two had these two information sets Martin yellow. And there were two equilibria that we could get one equilibrium we got by doing this kind of decomposition type analysis. We said we look at the left hand side game, solve it separately look at the right hand side game solve that separately and then that gave us one equilibrium. And remember the payoff there and the payoff there in this in that equilibrium was what was it? Yeah, it is minus one for player one and two for player zero. So, both players were minimizing. But then there was also another equilibrium which came about by player two committing to a common action at these two information sets. By ignoring the information that was available. So, that was this other equilibrium that came about and that was this zero comma minus one. Here player two is getting minus one and player one was getting zero as compared to this one. So, the delayed commitment type one is this boxed one here. And the starred one here is the was the one where the player has pre committed to a pre committed to a strategy. And you can see the commitment was for player two was just committing to play L2 at both nodes. And effectively, then he had converted that that turns the game into a static game and so on. So, these are all things we had discussed so the but the main lesson is commitment doesn't necessarily give you an advantage. There is no commitment or delaying commitment either of them doesn't necessarily give you an advantage. So, now let me related to this let me ask you another question. So, suppose this suppose we are in a zero sum game. Suppose we are in a zero sum game now. So, zero sum dynamic game. Now, and we have two players zero sum dynamic game. Is there any benefit to committing or delaying commitment? So, there is something peculiar about zero sum games which is the following that all all equilibrium of zero sum games or all saddle points have the same value. All saddle points have the same value which means what? Which means now all these saddle points, the delayed commitment type and the pre commitment type all of them can be found in the normal form of the game. You write out a big large normal form you will be able to find all of them. And all of them have the same value which means the delayed commitment equilibrium and the and the pre commitment equilibrium or the threat equilibrium whatever you want to call it all of them have the same value. They are all saddle points eventually of the of the normal form which means that for a zero sum game this kind of you know pre committing giving or threat threatening etcetera has no consequence. The reason threats work is because the game is non-zero sum threats work on the basic premise that I am going to do harm to myself. But in the process I will do harm greater harm to you. But in a zero sum game harm to me is always gained to you. You cannot have this argument to this argument simply cannot work. So, a threat so this whole business of what order of commitment and so on and so forth is completely moved in a zero sum game.  So, this mutually assured destruction that kind of paradigm just does not work in in a zero sum game. Now finally if you have a game which is which is nested but not ladder nested then essentially then from there it is not become it means that that portion is not decomposable. So, you can what you can do is you can keep so if you so if so yes they are all found by so so so this the so the way the algorithm is defined it delays commitment to the maximum extent possible.  So, that those kind of equilibria are found through this yeah so I was coming to that. So, in that case once if a tree is nested but not ladder nested if it is nested the question is firstly so nested does not mean that so if it is not ladder nested it could still have portions which are ladder nested. So, you could solve for those portions which are ladder nested. So, sub extensive forms which are not ladder nested eventually you get to us for a form which is what is called undecomposable that cannot be decomposed further and there then you write out the normal form and solve it solve it through the normal form there is no other way beyond that. Okay. All right. So, but now related to this what what Sanjeev just asked I actually this you use the word refinement and so let me mention that also here see. So, if the game is of perfect information then an equilibrium can be found by backward induction that is what I said. And now what does this mean? This gives you one corollary straight away actually exactly a game of perfect information always has an equilibrium in pure strategies because you can just find it by backward induction right you just every you just keep going through the tree you will find one equilibrium. So, the static game which is the other extreme that may not have an equilibrium in pure strategies but this extreme where there is perfect information always has an equilibrium in pure strategies. Okay. So, since I use the word refinement let me mention that. So, this whole thing is what is called refining an equilibrium. So, refinement is essentially a subs what does this refer to? So, you can think of the solution concept or the Nash equilibrium as something like this it is a mapping. So, suppose you have gamma is your class of games and for every g in gamma you let S of g be the strategy space. So, a solution concept is basically a function is a phi that maps this to S where S is just some universal set which contains the strategies of all games such that phi of g belongs to S of g. So, it is picking for each game or let us say subset it is picking for each game a subset of the strategies from that game this is what a solution concept is. This is a solution concept. So, Nash equilibrium in particular is one kind of solution concept. Now what you can ask is well this is so this is Nash equilibrium is a solution concept you can of course have a trivial solution there always exists a trivial solution concept in which phi of g is equal to S of g. You just say that anything can happen. The other extreme is where you want to go and say some exactly something specific is the outcome. So, that process is what is called refining an equilibrium. So, what you are looking for then is let us say phi tilde such that phi tilde of g is a subset of phi of g. You have a solution concept and you want to refine it further. Ideally, if phi tilde gives you a single point for all g then that is great otherwise you will at least giving you a subset. So, let me put this as a strict subset. But the challenge in all of this is the following the most. So, this being a subset means that you are making the criterion stricter and stricter you are asking for you are demanding more and more from your solution which means that you might end up demanding too much to the point where then you might end up demanding where to the point where phi tilde of g is empty becomes empty becomes empty but phi of g is not empty. So, the original solution does exist but your highly demanding solution concept does not have a point satisfying it. So, the challenge in game theory is to actually come up with in refining is to come up with an argument or some axiom or some criterion under which you can refine the solution but not refine it to the point where it disappears. Is this clear? So, this is basically the idea. So, in short what we want is that if in other words we want that if if the original one you want phi tilde to have this property if this is not empty then phi tilde should be not empty. So, whenever the original exists the refined one should also exist. Now, you can approach this mathematically by looking for what are called selections and so on or you can approach this give some argument you know some kind of a thought experiment some argument saying well what if this happened and then you try to refine it whatever this the whole all of that is fair game but you come up with some argument to make this work. So, if you want to know more about this so you can read I have my so I have a paper in 2012 Automatica and that is about refinement of the equilibrium for a certain class of games. So, you can there the introduction I have described all this theory if you want if you are interested in this. Automatica is the name of the journal 2012 was when it was published.


Hello, I'm Sylvia. I'm the ecosystem restoration camp, camp of the plano coordinator at the moment. So this is the first of the ponds, the biggest one. This is Bailey doing some monitoring of plants. Over there is the, this one is the chicken tractor. And there are the cows and this one is the kitchen. This one is the bank house where most people could stay over. And next to it, there's the roundhouse. On this line straight, there's all the other ponds, which I'm going to show you. The benefits of having the ponds are multiple. The first is that they're collecting rainwater coming from the surrounding catchment. So it's also a control of erosion. It increases the humidity in the soil around it as the water infiltrates. That in turns increases the organic matter around because there's more vegetation and that's also increasing soil quality around the ponds. It's also a place for wildlife. You see, there's a little frog here in the middle. There's birds coming to breed here, snakes and a lot of tadpoles. Foxes and wild boars are coming to drink at the ponds. And it's also a very nice recreational spot. This used to be a greenhouse for vegetables, but we're not actually doing the vegetable garden at the moment. Although there's still harvest from last year. Cows! So we are experimenting now with the holistic management. So we have patches on the camp where we've had cows grazing for a few days. And as you see, this patch in front of us has just been eaten. And the sturdier plants are the ones that survive. And we have to find a balance in between the amount of time the cows spend on the land and the amount of food they have so that they actually improve the soil by the manure that the cows are bringing and by the moving of the ground that the cows do. Here we have the almonds tree. Trees with the ground cover around. The cover crops are turning yellow because summer is coming. And the service of the ground cover is to protect the soil, to keep the moisture in. And there's a lot of tap fruiting plants, so they basically break through the soil and make a better structure for the trees. And there's nitrogen-fixing species, which are again a source of... They collect nitrogen and make it available for other plants, so they make it available for the trees. And what we're going to do is these cover crops are seeding, so they're going to have seeds coming out and spread through the land. We're going to be able to cut the grasses and leave them on the ground as mulch, again to protect it and to keep the moisture in. And this is going to be also a source of organic matter for the ground to again improve the texture of the soil, to improve the quality of the soil and biomass and more nutrients for the trees that are growing here. One thing we have seen though is that there's almond trees that have been planted at the same time as these ones that are on the neighboring land. And they're actually doing better than these ones. And what we think is that young trees that are planted here and the ground cover is not managed in such harsh conditions as we are with low rainfall to 150 millimeters average per year and very hot summers. There's too much competition with the ground cover and the trees, so some type of management of the ground cover would be needed. For example, possibilities are of tilling part of the strips in between the almond trees, tilling around the trees, but leaving a strip in the middle. So there's no need actually to till the whole plot and to plow very deeply. These are our compost toilets. We have three separate toilets and we only use one at a time. So I can show you the system. We have a separation for P and full. The P goes in a barrel, which ends up in this compartment. And whenever the barrel is full, which is this one, we can tap it out, mix it in a ratio 1 to 10 with water and use it as a fertilizer. So here you see the three different compartments of the three different toilets. We use one at a time because when one is full, we let it sit for a year and in that period, the temperature can reach up to 70 degrees and kill all the pathogens and then the poo can be used as compost for the trees. So once one compartment is full, we move to the next toilet. And now we can see how the toilet looks like from the inside. Here it is. A really simple, nice, comfortable toilet. And this is the kitchen, the car and the kitchen. It's completely functional. It has gas stove, fridge, solar panels that are on top of this roof, which are giving electricity to the whole camp, the outdoor shower that we built. So it uses water from the pond and it gets heated up in this black bucket.  So we connect it to electricity and it basically pumps the water out of the bucket and gets you a nice shower. And here we go into the kitchen. Voila. This is it. And we don't have water. So all the water we have for drinking comes from the farm. Four or five kilometers away. And some of the washing water from the pond. So this is the bunk house, which as I said at the moment is not ready inside for hosting people, but it will be very pretty, very messy also. So here there will be beds. Here the camp ends and this is the roundhouse. This is Bailey. She's living here at the moment. There's a super nice ceiling with wood. Everything is cob. We have a little fireplace. So this is the other place for hosting people. With really nice views outside. And that's it. The idea of the camp is to be a place to train people about land restoration practices. It's to have a place where people can experience and learn and also an example area for whoever comes from outside but also for locals to share what their knowledge is and to see what works and whatnot in a system regeneration.


I'm ready. I'm ready to tell all sides of the story. You know what I mean? Let's do it. Ready to do it. Hey, hold up. It's a prince. Hey, man, let's get in there. I'm gonna be a, uh, a cattle girl. Okay. Dude. It covers me. What's up? What's up, bro? What's up, bro? What's up, bro? What's up, bro? You know I love you. Be, hold up. Be, it was a prince. Be, it was a prince. Baby, it's a prince. What does the phrase family channel bring to mind? Yeah, let's talk to the family. Children plastered all over videos with millions of views, drama, controversy, and of course, a willingness to capitalize off of any special family moment for that hashtag social media clout. Can you guys see it? This is pregnant. Be, it's alright. It's alright, it's alright. But what happens when you're willing to push all boundaries across any line for internet fame and fortune? You came from the bottom. Now here comes in. We came from the bottom. This is the story of Damien and Bianca, the parents of the prince family, and how they manipulated millions and exploited their own family for their own personal gain. Nothing good to you. See you around, Finney. Alright, Louis. Hi friends and internet acquaintances. Welcome or welcome back to another video on my channel covering the weird world of influencers and influencer scams. I'm trying something a little bit different with this setup, so let me know in the comments if you like this setup more, if I should mix this with the green screen, just kind of experimenting and having fun. If you like videos like these and want to see more of them, then don't forget to subscribe and if you like this video then give it a like also if you want to. Today's video is part two of a two part series that I'm doing covering Damien and Bianca prince and their time on YouTube. In the first part of this series I went into Damien and Bianca before they became the prince family channel. Today we are talking about the prince family channel. A channel that Damien and Bianca made at the time that YouTube started really promoting the prince family vlogs. They realized they could do better financially through rebranding and becoming more family friendly and involving their children more and more on their YouTube channels. So the prince family was born off of greed and a need to change content paths alongside the changes to the YouTube platform and increasing focus on family friendly content. But controversy only followed the prince family from allegations of colorism to fights with other YouTube couples to exploiting their children and more fake pranks to exploit their children and more fake pranks to exploit their children and more fake pranks. We're covering all of that in today's video, but before we get into this long-awaited Prince Family video, this video is sponsored by Atlas VPN. Atlas VPN has the best VPN deal on the market. Developed by top cybersecurity specialists and IT engineers in 2020, Atlas VPN was created to make internet accessible and secure for everyone.

So I'm sure you guys are all wondering, did these pranks continue on the Prince family channel? At first their new channel, the Prince family didn't display any of the red flags that were found on the DMB Nation channel, particularly the really strange actually explicit prank videos that they would upload. Most of the content that the Prince family would upload was just documenting their life kind of log style in a child or kid friendly way, but these videos weren't doing the same kind of numbers that their DMB Nation prank videos were doing. So in 2018, they decided to start adding more pranks into the Prince family channel. And in early 2018, Damien and Bianca began to completely stop posting on their DMB Nation channel and fully focus on the Prince family channel. Then on March 19th, 2018, in a video titled Kids Destroy Daddy's New Jordan's Prank, Damien and Bianca slowly began to reintroduce the aspect of pranks to their new channel. Their initial pranks were still fairly family friendly and sort of the standard pranking that you see on family channels. At that time, most of their videos, which were primarily vlogs, averaged anywhere between 300,000 to 700,000 views. Meanwhile, the minimal prank content that they would upload would consistently reach a million views every time. So the couple would upload prank videos basically whenever they would need more views on their channel. And soon after, the couple reintroduced the sexual theme of their prank videos. I think realizing that the shock value of these videos would garner the most views. On June 2nd, 2018, the couple uploaded a video titled Catfishing My Wife's Sister to see if she cheats leads to real breakup, which also featured a sexually provocative thumbnail and reached over 4 million views. They also uploaded a video titled Caught Facetiming My Ex Prank on Husband, uploaded on January 6th, 2019, also paired with a sexually provocative thumbnail. And it seems like the Prince family became trapped. They could either produce family friendly content that would have better ad revenue but get less views, or they could upload sexually suggestive prank videos that would get more views but were more likely to get demonetized by YouTube's more stricter ad algorithm now. They uploaded another prank video titled Caught Cheating in Bed with Carmen from Carmen and Corey Prank on January 13th, 2019, which featured the couple from the Carmen and Corey YouTube channel. Then 10 days later, after that prank video, they uploaded another prank video titled Caught in the Shower Prank with Carmen from Carmen and Corey, which featured the couple's channels Carmen and Corey and Nate and McKayla. Damien and Bianca basically fell back into their old routine of continually producing sexually explicit and inappropriate prank content. But the worst part about this is compared to their D&B Nation channel, which was solely a prank style channel, they're now posting this on a channel that's branded as a family channel. And branded family channels are more likely to get even more children viewers as YouTube promotes these channels to children assuming that it's child friendly content. So you're even more likely to introduce children to inappropriate topics that they haven't been exposed to yet mixed in with family friendly vlogs. It's just a really weird thing to do and kind of shows they didn't really care about making a family friendly branded content, they only cared about adsense and maintaining a family friendly image for YouTube. The couple continued more and more with these types of prank videos, uploading this on their family channel. Pranks like Cat Fishing My Wife to See If She Cheats leads to Real Breakup. Cat Fishing My Best Friend using my girl's Instagram to see if he's loyal caught in the shower prank with twin sisters, which featured Bianca's sister Alexis and Damien's father Damon. Bianca along with her sister got in the shower with bikinis with a shirtless Damon to make Damien jealous, I guess. So then Damien confronted his father and they got into a fight. First off, let's just talk about how this kind of promotes violence and violent content to kids as well as weirdly sexual content. And then of course the internet ends up exposing how you can literally see bright as day the camera tripod on top of the bathroom counter in the reflection of the shower glass. So these people always act like the camera is invisible, there's invisible tripod, they can't see anything. The last seemingly explicitly explicit prank that Damien and Bianca uploaded was on December 9th of 2019 in a video titled smelling like fish prank to see my husband's reaction. There was also the infamous I broke up with Damien prank uploaded on October 14th 2019 with a thumbnail of Damien placing Bianca in a chokehold. Like if you have a child audience you are teaching your child audience that this is okay that this is what a couple does especially a married couple especially a family because you're in a family channel please don't why. Followed by I followed my husband disguised as a robber prank but the creativeness of their pranks if there was any just continued to decrease more and more as we entered 2020 and today the prince family prank videos have hit an all-time low and nowadays their prank related videos are pretty much just arguments between them recorded on camera like has a couple ever argued in front of you and you felt so awkward and uncomfortable you wish you weren't there or never witnessed this that's basically what a Damien and Bianca present day prank is just a lot of uncomfortableness for everyone this is evident in their calling my wife the b-word prank to see her reaction never again or calling my wife insecure prank to see her reaction never again and for the year 2021 the prank content on the prince family channel is pretty much non-existent i assume because of youtube's harsher rules although the majority of the problematic prank videos conducted from 2018 to 2020 are still uploaded and available to watch on the prince family channel there were two specific prank videos that were uploaded and later either deleted or privatized by the couple the first video would be the time Damien pretended to call cps on their family to have their daughter taken for adoption the video was titled giving nova up for adoption prank and accumulated over 11 million views your children might not know that something's a prank they might not be able to discern that if they're really young and this video if it's posted is documented for all time so as nova gets older she'll be able to look back on this and see this when her parents pranked her by saying they're going to give her up for adoption and the second video that ended up getting deleted on the channel would be the time Bianca pretended to be killed by a mysterious intruder it seems that Damien and Bianca have zero boundaries when it comes to what's right and what's not right to post on the internet and as they involve their family and their children more and more i can only imagine how this must affect their family and their own relationship the one narrative that Damien and Bianca routinely mentioned in their videos was the couple's many failed attempts at naturally conceiving a third child this all started on june 6th of 2017 when the prince family uploaded a vlog titled she's pregnant spoiler alert she was not pregnant this was followed up by multiple videos where they would hint at a pregnancy but the pregnancy was never confirmed or denied basically dragging out clickbaiting a pregnancy as long as you possibly can see them pregnant for damn near two years that bitch been pregnant just as long as Bonnie swans into the pregnant it wasn't until may 12th of 2018 in a video titled we're having another baby that the couple would address the topic of having another child they later revealed that Bianca was undergoing IVF or in vitro fertilization so we decided to do is we decided this process called IVF okay so what IVF is is called in vitro fertilization which is a complex series of procedures used to help with fertility or prevent genetic problems and assist with the conception of a child the couple after already having two sons desperately wanted a daughter and understood that IVF was the most effective strategy for ensuring a girl on august 31st of 2018 in a video titled son surprises mommy with pregnancy announcement speechless Bianca took her first pregnancy test post operation and found out she was pregnant with likely a girl and Bianca and Damian proceeded to share the news with their family and friends fast forward nine months later or around nine months later to may 22nd 2019 in a video titled the official prince family labor and delivery so right now we're about to be headed to the hospital to check in to have a baby girl you know it is time and Bianca at the end of her pregnancy went into labor and delivered their baby who they named nova grace prince the birth of nova grace prince uploaded on may 24th 2019 documented the entire birth of their daughter and even captured what occurred afterwards usually when a family vlog channel posts a birth vlog it's hard to criticize it besides of course the invasion of privacy but usually it's such a joyous happy moment that there's not really anything you can criticize but this was not the case for the prince family for Damian and Bianca and more particularly Bianca the comments made after the birth of their daughter sparked controversy all over the internet people were outraged and for good reason after giving birth Bianca was handed her new daughter and to her surprise her daughter began to slowly open her eyes I see her eyes she stated followed by she's gonna have brown eyes for sure in a slightly disgruntled tone after some back and forth with Damian the nurse explained that darker eyed babies usually stay dark I thought you would have pretty eyes Bianca stated in a somewhat disappointing tone after that Damian's given the opportunity to hold his newborn child and almost immediately notes that she's definitely going to get darker you can see it around her fingernails Bianca then pointed out the melanin around the baby's ear to which Damian stated oh her ears dark then only moments later the discussion about their daughter's eye color is mentioned again she's gonna have brown eyes for sure Bianca explained to her mother and grandmother with a displeased look on her face she's gonna have brown eyes for sure and then the nurse intervened and stated that she'll be a brown eyed girl as she attempted to make light of the situation because the parents seemed more concerned with the appearance of their daughter rather than her health and well-being and this only led to further discussion about the daughter's skin complexion the nurse interrupted the conversation again and had to remind the couple but she's beautiful in a clearly distressed tone the conversation of their daughter's eye color and skin tone would be a topic throughout the video as Bianca seemed more and more displeased with the look of her daughter and this entire subject really pains me to talk about because a their daughter is beautiful and their daughter should never be in a world where she has to compare her looks to others especially from her own parents who are constantly comparing her looks and making her feel less than but also the thing that pains me the most about this is as their daughter gets older because there was so much backlash surrounding this whole situation their daughter will probably see information on this later and she'll know how her parents responded when she was first born and what social media as a whole thought about it so i want to reiterate that i'm sure that Bianca and Damien love their daughter there's no doubt in my mind that they do love their daughter it's just that social media saw a lot of red flags in this situation that depicted a colorist mindset and a lot of Damien and Bianca's followers felt really really hurt by this having experienced something so similar in their own lives but she had the baby and the first thing she does is judge the baby by scaring them now close to aliyah for stepping in and aliyah jane the late artist says bitches are so ungrateful it needs to grow up and love themselves there are so many women in the world who can't even carry slash house children i don't even have kids yet but even now all i pray for is to have a healthy baby and pregnancy nothing else matters besides that thank you aliyah that was the best and most amazing response ever because Damien and Bianca don't just have a child audience but they have an audience of a lot of black children so it must have been so hurtful for these children to watch their idols speak this way and judge their own daughter for her skin color and it must have been so frustrating for other social media figures especially those in the black community to see this as they're trying to spread a positive and greater message and create a better future for children of color so across the internet Bianca was deemed a colorist for these remarks which is the differential treatment based on skin color and especially favoritism towards those with a lighter skin tone and mistreatment or exclusion of those with a darker skin tone typically among those of the same racial group or ethnicity Bianca responded to these allegations with a series of tweets this is the reason i didn't want to show my baby followed by y'all people are disgusting my baby is beautiful and not once did i throw shade at my daughter for her skin or eye color i've always said i wanted a chocolate baby little do y'all know someone replied it sounded like you didn't want the baby to which Bianca replied i paid thousands of dollars for her how could i not want her now of course i don't know what goes on behind the scenes there are tons of things that we haven't seen and i don't think it's right to speculate on such a personal and important emotion like wanting your own child especially right after giving birth your hormones are just so up and down and fluctuating you're not going to be in the right mindset so it's not fair to say that she didn't want the baby but i also see how people could be concerned and how a lot of these statements need to be properly addressed and honestly should just be taken off of the internet because it sets such a dangerous precedence and such a bad example that children are getting from your videos so overall i can see why a lot of people were concerned though the majority of outrage was targeted towards Bianca Damien was not exempt from criticism footage resurfaced from back in March of 2017 during the time that the couple had their dmb nation channel hacking incident that i mentioned in part one Damien who at the time held the camera shouted i honestly don't feel comfortable saying what he shouted so i'm just gonna show it in a clip yeah he shouted that to the anonymous hacker it wasn't until the hospital incident that footage of this interaction started to resurface and people were really upset with all of this for several reasons people with darker skin tones already deal with more prejudice within society it's not only an issue prevalent throughout history but an issue still prevalent in today's society especially with women that can impact women more than men Bianca's daughter should not have to grow up in a household where she's not only judged by society but judged by her own mother based on her physical appearance or where she feels like she has to compete with her lighter toned green eyed mother it's a toxic mindset to instill in your own children and also a dangerous mindset to instill in your audience of millions who are primarily made up of children and people of color on June 5th of 2019 roughly two weeks after the couple were involved in the controversy the prince family uploaded a video titled nova has colorist parents and this video was supposed to address the colorist allegations of their birth vlog the couple proceeded to reference a song they produced earlier that year and stated how can they judge us when we came from the bottom essentially using their past and how they came from poverty as an excuse as to what again why they aren't colorist like you see how this isn't actually addressing the issue here they do end up apologizing to the video but only to their fans and supporters because people took what they said the wrong way apparently we was saying some color stains i guess we were colors no i guess we're colors but first and foremost i want to give an apology to all our fans all the real vmc supporters all the real christmas supporters bianca then tried to justify the comments she made when she said she wished her daughter had pretty eyes by saying now when i said i wish you had pretty eyes i didn't literally mean she doesn't have pretty eyes when i said pretty eyes i meant the term of green eyes i didn't mean oh my gosh my daughter has ugly eyes when i say pretty eyes i meant the term of green eyes isn't that a fucking self report i mean that kind of shows where your head is at in terms of what color equates beautiful and not beautiful she then proceeded to ask damian whether or not anyone has ever called his eyes pretty to which he replied no because oh my gosh your daughter has such pretty eyes brown eyes don't get complimented like green eyes or haze eyes or blue eyes an animation appears in the bottom right hand corner besides a minus one mimicking a dislike button right above an animation of brown eyes i didn't mean it to be no harm um i didn't mean it for it to be offensive towards anybody i just meant i wish you would have my eyes and i still to this day feel like one of my future have eyes it's just a preference like i'm sorry there are literally songs about beautiful brown eyed women i always thought growing up that my mom had the most beautiful brown eyes beauty is really in the eye of the beholder so you thinking that says more about your outlook on what is and isn't beautiful as opposed to what just blatantly is and isn't beautiful they finished off the video explaining how the whole thing was just a complete misunderstanding and that all they did was try and examine their daughter to see who she would most likely resemble i mean i think every parent does it like oh who did you look like did she look like you did she have my eyes did you have your nose did you have our mouth like that's just what you do as a parent because as a parent of course your child would look like you why wouldn't you which of course every parent has done i feel like my baby sometimes looks so much like my husband sometimes looks more like me you've probably had your looks compared to your family members by your parents if you're a parent you've probably compared your children's looks but it becomes dangerous when you associate positive or negative connotations to their looks like you can say oh you have your dad's nose or your mom's forehead or whatever but when you say you have brown eyes i wish you had pretty eyes that's when it's not just comparing looks anymore but becomes about whether or not you see your daughter having good or bad looks which is just so damaging i'm sure there are some people watching this who've experienced this by their parents and if that's you currently watching i'm so so sorry you experienced this then to try and move on or maybe gain sympathy from the situation on june 9th of 2019 the prince family uploaded a now deleted video titled they destroyed my lamborghini where they showed some footage of damien's car after it was vandalized by some supposed vigilante with the word colorist in yellow spray paint in my opinion damien and bianca in the name the prince family was trending for being associated with colorism and a lot of people were tuning into videos about this topic so damien and bianca decided to capitalize off of this by making a video that had the words colorism in it basically making a video about the scandal while also having it be a situation where something of value of theirs was vandalized to garner sympathy so they're basically able to profit off of the entire controversy and also gain more sympathy towards themselves especially from their core fanbase but unfortunately things would only get worse for damien and bianca through the decisions and actions that they made of course because on september 9th 2019 the prince family uploaded a video titled picked up my husband in an uber disguise where bianca disguised herself not really like wow impressive disguise and basically anonymously picked up damien for an uber ride all right guys so i'm back again with another prank video so as you guys can already tell by the title today today today today i am about to be doing the uber disguise prank i'm about to be getting my makeup done changing my entire wardrobe getting my hair done and i'm about to be looking like a literally different person a video concept that damien did five days earlier to her on september first so of course you know it's definitely not a fake prank it's definitely not staged also these disguises are just so well done gotta love with the damien uber prank video the fake voice filter that was applied after the video was filmed super believable super well done now the controversy surrounding these videos wasn't because they were obviously very fake and very staged but it was bianca's disguise as you can probably guess that landed her an even more controversy bianca had her entire body tanned to darken her complexion she then had someone apply dark makeup to her entire face dude it covers i'm happy thank god oh my god you ever used that yeah we need more see um no surprise bro oh i already look different pretty much emulating blackface to make the situation worse she decided to call herself bb shekita i need to find a name my name is um bb and incorporated various very toxic stereotypes saying that she was going to be a ghetto woman i'm about to be a um a ghetto girl i gotta i gotta learn how to talk i'm gonna talk it's your turn you know what i'm saying okay bianca tried to explain this by saying the whole thing is just for entertainment purposes only all right guys also this video is just for entertainment purposes only i'm not here to bash anybody or make it seem like i'm trying to be a certain type of way okay like as if that excludes you from all criticism so bianca completely changing her skin tone and wearing a wig picked up damien disguised as his uber ride the rest of the video was bianca trying to annoy damien while also hyperbolizing or exaggerating common black stereotypes out of all the videos uploaded on dmb nation and the prince family channel this video was easily by far the most offensive at one point damien looked at bianca in the video and said you are the ugliest uber driver i've ever seen in my life your eyeballs and given damien's prior remarks concerning black women this did not sit well with people either damien responded to the criticism via instagram people don't like us but yet they continue to watch our videos that don't make any sense the community is so dry that people literally is forced to create drama of some kind realize it or not drama brings more attention more views which equals more money y'all are doing us a favor i really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart at bianca where do you want to go on vacation next i mean he said it right there and aside from this one statement the couple continued to disregard everything and move on past the situation now things are about to get messy it's about um damien and bianca for bianca especially you see there next to your cheating ass men sitting there that what he deals right damien and bianca have collaborated with a lot a lot of other content creators throughout their time on youtube we got a special guest in the building tell us how you feel and today we're gonna be doing a special prank on the homies we're gonna be pranking damien and korey karmine and korey pritchett more known as karmine and korey were one of the more notable couples that the two collaborated with karmine and korey were first featured on the prince family channel on january 13th 2019 in a video titled caught cheating in bed with karmine from karmine and korey prank the video followed the same format as all of their other previous pranks this video almost instantly blew up and garnered millions of views over the span of just a few days the audience loved the four together and requested more content karmine and korey then proceeded to upload taking bianca from the prince family on a date prank then the group of four turned into a group of six with the addition of the couple's channel nate and mikaela the three couples then collaborated together in a video titled caught cheating in bed prank with karmine and bianca from the prince family this was followed by caught in the shower prank with karmine from karmine and korey also original all the couples are wearing the exact same outfits in both of these prank collab videos so they clearly filmed it all on the exact same day and didn't even bother changing outfits the three couples continue this trend over the following months cross promoting each other collaborating on pranks that definitely weren't exhaustive and boring and overdone accumulating millions of views and cross promoting sharing their fan bases i can't imagine how sort of confusing and weird this must be if you have an actual in real life relationship and then are constantly doing pranks about how that relationship is on the brink of falling apart with cheating and arguments and fights lusting after other couples and just weird stuff like that like i feel like that would be so stressful for a relationship how can you have a happy relationship and constantly be doing these types of pranks and i think that this really shows with the karmine and korey situation and the aftermath of what ends up happening on september 30th of 2019 karmine and korey uploaded a video titled exposing the truth about the prince family and the situation started after the couple no longer collaborated with the prince family and they all unfollowed each other on social media korey then started to talk about a reality show that was being produced by the prince family footage was leaked from this reality show showing korey seated beside a fairly attractive woman while karmine looked visibly upset a few rows behind him this was paired with footage from later that night which showed karmine being comforted by both damien and bianca korey explained that he and karmine initially wanted to be in the show but decided to pull out due to a conflict in their schedule nevertheless damien and bianca continued to pressure them more and more until they felt like they were obligated to do the show but damien and bianca desperately wanted them to be on the show and did everything to make sure karmine and korey said yes then unfortunately on the day that they were scheduled to begin filming korey got news that his cousin had passed away which already put him in a somber mood before filming even began korey decided to stay and continue with the show out of respect for everyone involved with the production according to korey damien beyond and the reality show producers were the only ones that knew what was going to be happening during the reality show all of the contestants were left completely clueless the reality show was filmed at a mansion and when all the contestants arrived they were ordered to go into separate rooms and get dressed for the first event then all of the contestants were supposed to get into a bus where they'd be taken to a club which was supposed to be the first event at this reality show they were all told to enter the bus however all the contestants in a relationship could not sit beside their partner when everybody had to get on a bus the challenge was nobody can sit next to their partner so me and bianca was mismatching everybody around and stuff like that so nobody nobody sent next to their partner no and it actually caused a little bit of drama the problem is carmen and korey have a history of infidelity on korey's side so he was instantly irritated by the situation then once they were seated on the bus the woman beside korey started to flirt with him korey immediately saw all the cameras pointed in his direction and he realized he'd been purposely set up to cause drama for the show because damien and bianca were fairly close with carmen and korey and have at least worked with them on numerous occasions they were familiar with the dynamic of carmen and korey's relationship as well as probably their past trauma and it's kind of gross and weird that they basically utilize this past trauma to cause drama trauma drama on their reality show i'm not liking what they're doing on this show because i didn't know what they're doing because they know that me and carmen easy to get to and cut out to another girl with them but it all flew back down to that they knew what they was doing they knew that they didn't make a drama they knew that they wanted to use korey and carmen to put drama on this show i mean it's one thing if the whole thing's planned but if you're basically using things that you know will trigger quote on quote friends of yours so that you can get more views and more shock value and drama on your own show for your own benefit that's kind of shitty putting your friends through actual emotional trauma for your own benefit kind of shitty when the bus arrived at the nightclub all the contestants entered the nightclub except for korey he texted his manager about the situation saying he no longer felt comfortable and desperately wanted to leave korey requested an uber and then called his mother to tell her about the situation during this private phone call with his mother korey became emotional and then noticed that all the cameras were once again on him as is the thing with a reality show usually they try and get as many dramatic emotional moments as possible but it just seems like this was a really bad day for korey he needed respect and privacy because he was kind of going through a lot korey then left the show had an uber drive him back to the mansion where he picked up his car and drove home once all the contestants finished at the club they asked everyone to go back into the bus except for carmen who they asked to stay behind and talk with them damien and bianca then started to check up on carmen who was under the influence and quickly became emotional carmen could not comprehend why korey left until damien said korey kind of said something about you but i don't know if i want to tell you because i don't know how you're going to feel damien told carmen that korey said that she was too insecure which of course upset carmen so damien i never want to tell you so he was like he said something about you too insecure so he gave you reason to be upset he had plenty of reasons so basically okay give me a reason he cheated me already but i was pregnant i went through a lot we're not decided to build my trust he still decided to treat her sometime later carmen pulled out her phone and instagram where she saw a direct message from damien who asked for her private number the text messages show that damien seemed supportive but as the messages continued he started to question carmen's relationship with korey as the conversation continued carmen started to realize that damien was trying to bait her into saying something incriminating about korey and their relationship damien then insinuated that carmen should cheat on her husband and sleep with someone other than korey possibly hinting at himself this just seems like a toxic working environment imagine having couple friends that you also do sexual pranks with and you're constantly wondering is this a prank is this a setup are you serious what's going on also low-key sexual harassment in the workplace this just seems very stressful damien then asked carmen via messages to send him photos of herself to prove that she's carmen texting him not korey after he repeatedly asked her for a photo carmen sent damien a photo of her camera roll damien then zoomed in on a selfie where carmen was posed in a somewhat sexual manner and requested that she send that specific photo to him which she denied the situation only gets messier as beyonka gets involved and apparently says that korey was flirting with her and accuses carmen of flirting with damien so she's using drinking as an excuse she was drinking as an excuse and korey was using drinking as an excuse also but she was sober enough to tell you her business so i did i wrote carmen and i also want to talk what's the issue she said what are you talking about i said you know what i'm talking about carmen it's just this whole weird web of a mess of who's flirting with who it just gets messy really quickly and in the end both couples go their separate ways thank god also just once again a toxic working environment for everyone involved this is not healthy youtubers need an hr department everything regarding carmen and korey could have been avoided if damien and beyonka were really looking out for their friend's best interest their real life friends were on the brink of a possible separation but instead of telling their camera crew to give them privacy to deal with everything they filmed it all and used it as content for their reality show the situation with carmen and korey is ultimately an example of how damien and beyonka have zero boundaries between what's appropriate to film and exploit and put on camera and on youtube for millions to see and what's a private situation that should be kept between the parties involved like y'all making me a problem y'all put us in a bad situation in front of everybody you see what i'm saying it's all i can say fooling you see the trailer for the reality show was uploaded on november 30th 2019 titled trapped with the prince family the episode that included carmen and korey was titled he cheated and now she's pregnant which was a reference to korey's past infidelity as he cheated on carmen during her pregnancy with their first child he cheated already while i was pregnant i went through a lot when i decided to reel my trust he's still delighted to cheat on me so yeah if i'm insecure it's because of film not because i want to be insecure which is terrible so awful and i can't imagine how bad that must have hurt to have that brought up again by a reality show title unlike their cringy poorly thought out previous reality show that they tried to do called the dmr experience trapped with the prince family ended up being a massive success accumulating more than 22 million views on youtube over the span of eight episodes so nevertheless trapped with the prince family ended up being a major success damien and bianca probably never really learning their lesson something the prince family is most known for today is uploading very clickbait content the prince family has clickbait worse than rice gum i'm not even kidding no matter the situation damien and bianca will find a way to over exaggerate it or even make it into something it isn't through their title and thumbnail to get as many views as possible the most notable of these clickbait titles and thumbnails is their we broke up series basically that they continue to do on both channels these videos usually have the title of we broke up with both damien and bianca in the thumbnail looking sad damien and bianca have used the phrases we broke up i broke up or simply break up in over 15 separate videos on their prince family channel since its launch in late 2016 the couple understand that their fanbase is made up of fairly young children who look up to them and may even live vicariously through their family i know a lot of young people that follow family vlog channels don't have the best family life at home so they live vicariously through damien and bianca's family and may even get invested or have a parasocial relationship with the family they may seek guidance acceptance and appreciation through damien and bianca who are sure to manipulate their fans by pretending to be all those things and feel all those things they refer to their fanbase as a nation they describe their fans as family manipulating these children and giving them a false sense of security that they might not be receiving in their own lives so their audience becomes more and more invested into their channel and is willing to watch 30 minutes of clickbait by merchandise and support all their endeavors and most importantly their audience becomes so devoted they're willing to defend them against any harsh criticism which is also the reason why they've managed to slide under the radar it wasn't until they uploaded a really really concerning video titled guess her age challenge we failed on february 4th 2021 that the broader internet really started to pay attention we about to be guessing these females age okay the thumbnails showed damien making a suggestive face towards a picture of a girl that had her face blurred out with the caption she's 12 above the photo and you have a family channel with a child audience why are family channels always the worst other notable clickbait videos include the time they uploaded a video titled no heartbeat on february 19th 2019 amidst bianca's third pregnancy with a thumbnail of bianca being lifted on a stretcher into an ambulance the majority of the video consisted of bianca crying and physically in pain and damien recording the entire thing instead of i don't know helping throughout the video damien paced up and down the house asking the audience to send prayers and filming the whole thing the paramedics soon arrive and surprise surprise damien continues to film the entire thing later we find out that bianca had a uti which is extremely painful but to clickbait that she had a miscarriage so late in her pregnancy when that's something heartbreaking and traumatic traumatic that women deal with is just disgusting you're exploiting a very very serious thing that so many women have experienced and endured and it's just so wrong they literally used their idea that their unborn child died as a means of clickbait overall it's just really weird how a lot of family vloggers will basically exploit their pregnancies like your child being born is not a business opportunity it's like they're all so happy to gain a new employee that has to work for free on their channel sorry not sorry the prince family has also uploaded videos claiming to get into bad car accidents when in reality their accidents are just like minor accidents and with all these car accidents they always have to mention that bianca is pregnant and make it seem like they got in this huge car accident while bianca is pregnant to basically make fans and people worry about whether or not she's okay so that they can get more clicks and views there's also been so many instances where the couple has used their own children as clickbait to the point where their children are so accustomed to this youtube life that they know what facial expressions to make for the best thumbnail so let's talk about the exploitation of their children on youtube and how demian and bianca have used their children to remain relevant on the platform so the prince family is another one of those family vlogging channels who how can i say this pretty much uses their kids for views and money i don't know about you guys but i kind of have a problem with a child constantly being shoved into a camera just for views and money one of the early instances where they've used their children for clickbait would be in the video titled dj almost drowned uploaded on july 31st 2017 the thumbnail was taken from a moment where bianca held both of her sons dj and kairi in the water dj for a split second had his head halfway under the water and from there they had their narrative for the vlog when in fact no one almost drowned and it was just an uneventful day where the family went to the pool they also recreated this exact same video on december 14th 2020 with their second child kairi in a video titled bianca saved kairi from drowning kairi was in floaties this entire video there was never a point that he almost drowned and they just started to use their kids more and more for clickbait on their prince family channel i just wonder what their children are going to think looking back on these videos as they get older and reflecting on how their parents used them and exploited different situations that were central parts of their childhood that now millions have seen and they'll never get back they'll truly never have a special moment that's just between them and their family the years 2020 and 2021 have been the quietest years for the prince family but they continue to involve their children with their content more and more every day damien and bianca even created a separate channel for their oldest son dj in early 2019 named dj's club house where they had their son do challenges receive toys go on trips to family restaurants and even reviewed different candies and snacks dj's clubhouse quickly became a huge success and averaged anywhere from hundreds of thousands of views to millions of views depending on the topic they eventually incorporated their other son kairi and changed the channel name to the prince family's clubhouse and with the constant support of their main channel the prince family's club house has accumulated over 380 million views and more than 1.93 million subscribers their children aren't even 10 years of age and are already the face of major youtube brands and a business that has been estimated by social blade to have generated upwards of 1.3 million in 2021 alone will they see any of this money will this pressure at such a young age negatively affect them there are currently no laws and very little safety measures to protect children of youtube and in my opinion damien and bianca have shown themselves to be greedy and exploitative if they've exploited each other and each other's relationship so shamelessly who's to say that they won't do the exact same thing to their own children and who's to say what the long-term consequences of all of this will be the general conclusion that i have after doing this entire series on damien and bianca and their channels my main concern is once again with the children i really hope damien and bianca don't push it too far with exploiting and showing their children's private life on the internet and i hope that their children are able to develop their own identities and do their own thing outside of the world of youtube and most importantly i truly truly hope that damien and bianca are saving this money that their children are making for their children to have in the future looking at this entire story of damien and bianca where they came from to where they are now i can't help but wonder is it worth all of this to become something to live comfortably their family is fed well even if it is through the parents shamelessly showing the family life and exploiting their own children on the youtube platform damien and bianca really did come from nothing essentially damien and bianca have captured the american dream that we've been told for years and years but at what cost and if you were in that situation broke with no job a family starving would you do the same as damien and bianca at the end of the day there really is no right answer to life there are no good or bad guys and really we're all just trying to live under the circumstances that we've been given and that's all for today's video thank you so much for watching if you made it to this point and if you made it to the end and haven't subscribed yet subscribe if you'd like to thank you so much to everyone who enjoys watching my videos and
