Bolty

Michael "Mike", better known as Bolty, is a controversial American YouTuber known for his fraudulent videos regarding catching predators on the chatting application Discord.
==History==
===Christopher Jones===
Bolty made his first of five public YouTube videos on June 1, 2020 titling it Catching a Discord Predator on my Little Sister. The video was the first of what would become a trilogy of videos about a discord predator named Christopher Jones. A 46 year-old man who was sexually harassing Bolty's sister known as Destiny. The video would go over the sexually promiscuous things Chris was saying to her such as him sending nudes and trying to get Destiny to come live with him. 
While this goes on Destiny continues to trick Christopher into sending private information such as his Facebook and his address to help report him to the police. The video ends with "Bolty" saying he plans to call him in a few days to confront him. He didn't post about the said call until August 21st 2020 nearly 3 months after the first video was made. The second video is titled I Called the Discord Predator and THIS Happened.. And goes over him setting up a group call with him a "friend" of Destinys as well as himself. The video was mainly him setting up Destiny and Christopher one and one. Letting Christopher sexually harass Destiny for a few minute before stepping in to bust him for his actions. It ends with Christopher vowing his revenge 
At about mid October these two videos began to gain major traction with him quadrupling in subscribers by the end of the month from 1940 subscribers to 7710 at the start of November. His views also took a major jump from 32,304 to 276,712 views during that time. With his huge jump in subs and views a third part to the series was released on November 5th 2020. With Bolty impersonating a girl and yet again tricking Christopher into getting into a 3 person group call with him Chris and a "friend." He catches him doing the same things he did the Destiny and it ends with Bolty revealing himself and then calling the police department to get him arrested. 
The third video helped him continue to grow further. He'd make two more videos in a similar fashion this time with a female school teacher who got fired from her job for giving her students good grades for sexual favors. Just like in the Christopher videos he pretends to be a teenager this time a 14-year-old boy and over the course of 2 videos lures her into a 3 person group call and busts her on camera just as before. As the 2 new videos were uploaded Bolty grew to a peak of 45,300 subscribers and broke 2 million total views on his channel.

=== Reactions ===
Bolty's channel now mainly consists of a variety of reactionary style videos. In a community post, he stated the reason for the change in content was due to wanting to focus on "the most positive of vibes". He then uploaded a video titled "he thought he could control lightning..." which was not only the first video to revolve around the new reactionary style, but also the first video to reveal his face. The ensuing videos showed Bolty's reactions to a variety of Tiktoks, and continued for a couple of months. In November of 2022, Bolty began reacting to videos centered around real-life drama, with him using episodes of the TV show, Dr. Phil, for sources of content.
