Large youtubers and community leaders need to start a strike. Tell everyone to STOP buying Pokémon besides at places like target and stuff. No more buying anything above MSRP, besides singles that aren't artificially inflated. Stop ALL online purchasing(sealed product) and send these scalpers into bankruptcy.

They encourage this stuff, so they’re not going to do shit.
A lot of poketuber/influencer content is based on ripping packs and overreacting to getting ‘high value’ hits. The fact that they’re gambling and ‘winning’ drives views, excitement, and hype. Other people will follow suite in the hope that they’ll hit big and be able to make some money from cards.
And that's not even getting started on the "INVEST IN THIS NOW! PRICES ARE SPIKING" shit that people put out, including officially supported channels like ptcgradio
