Sometimes you reply to a troll in a way that he has no choice but to acknowledge defeat. This happened to me when I responded to a Sony Alpha troll on Twitter who was trying to belittle Canon after Kaiman Wong commented on some Canon 90D specifications.

Jessica Kobeissi responds to Jason Lanier?

A screen grab from Jessica Kobeissi's video.

Jessica Kobeissi is one of the largest Youtube photography channels out there. With currently 1.4 million subscribers, she is in the top 5. If we remove channels run by non-photographers like Chelsea Northrup or Fro Knows Photo, she is de facto the largest. She recently made a long video (54 min) about the Dark Side of Modeling what seems to be in response to Jason Lanier without ever mentioning his name. She used examples from Lanier's own videos to highlight inappropriate and unprofessional behavior. A lot of these examples are still available on his channel today.
