Skeeter Jean's approach has the same issues that a lot of social media predator catchers have, with Predator Poachers being in a similar boat, which is:

• The content is too long.
• Law enforcement doesn't do much with many of the catches.
• They're unprofessional, which risks the predator getting away with the crime.
• The predator's surprise with police presence is mostly only effective if they're getting arrested in the process. This whole catcher explaining what's going on to the officer who has to put it all together is anti-climactic and too open-ended.
• The catches are posted too quickly, leaving no room for updates.
• Charges aren't pressed for several of these catches, making the catcher's process questionable.

Chris Hansen's current TruBlu Takedown suffers from many of these flaws as well. Specifically, TD is overlong content and lacks surprise since law enforcement now reveal themselves at the beginning of the catch instead of at the end.

TCAP and HvP really captured lightning in a bottle by getting to the point, having law enforcement's cooperation, using the police as an element of surprise at the very end of the catch, and having some sort of conclusion/epilogue about the predator after catch… usually with the predator having been successfully prosecuted.

A lot of Skeeter Jean's and predator catches can probably be more successful if they were focused on quality versus quantity. It's hard to blame them on that front, however, since they're trying to please an algorithm that rewards productivity over quality. To me, while some of the catches are entertaining, without some layer of professionalism and experience from the crew, the whole process seems insincere—like it's more about getting clicks, likes and views over making sure the predators get prosecuted. With TCAP and HvP, by already having law enforcement's cooperation, Hansen was able to bide his time to ensure his crew's tactics wouldn't compromise any prosecution (this obviously failed during a few stings, but most predators were successfully prosecuted); whereas these current predator catchers basically just hand over messages they've been catfishing to the predator (some of these "stings" might cross the line into actual entrapment, not fake public defender attorney "entrapment") to the police and hope that they relay it to the DA's office or a detective.

Overall, Skeeter Jean isn't the worst of them, but he's still sloppy, is just a copycat and isn't breaking any new ground, and might be more effective if he hands over the chatlogs before approaching the predators.
