ZDT COFFEE CHAT 100 PIZZAS, DRIVING WHILE DUNCE, ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST [ZeroDarkTony] / September 18, 2026 / YouTube / 7f_eRLnQZlQ
D’Amato also stated he had a dozen additional strikes prepared if the channel had not already been removed.
Anthony R. D’Amato, Jr., also known as ZeroDarkTony, opened a September 18, 2026 YouTube livestream by announcing the death of a critic he identified as Alonzo. Celebrating Alonzo’s passing, D’Amato shared his “good news stating, “Well, the world is one
better than it was yesterday. Fuck Alonzo.” And justifying his stance by adding, “He is one of the people who literally tried to torture me and he’s a stalker and I don’t care.” He offered no confirmation that Alonzo had tortured him or stalked him, and this appears to be another one of Tony’s rants about someone who criticized him online.
Later in the same broadcast, D’Amato learned that a separate YouTube channel had been terminated. He claimed credit for the removal, stating that copyright strikes he filed caused it. The channel removed was HeroNotZero’s own channel, @heronotzeronetwork. The strikes and channel termination were confirmed to have all come from Anthony D’Amato.
“Use My Content Maliciously Without My Permission and I’m Going to Do Something About It”
D’Amato told his audience that he had been restrained in how he treated Alonzo and Jeffrey, referring to Jeffrey Augustine, framing himself as having taken the high road.
When news of the channel termination surfaced from his chat, he stated, “The channel’s gone. I told you. Use my content maliciously without my permission and I’m going to do something about it.” He then added that he had prepared additional action: “I had another dozen strikes that I was going to lay down today if it wasn’t.” He closed the sequence by telling his audience, “I win, again. You guys tired of losing? Like, leave me alone. Are you tired of losing and dropping like flies?”
D’Amato then moved into language framing the outcome as moral consequence rather than platform enforcement. He stated, “Nobody escapes universal justice. If you if you are a bad, evil person in your heart. Eventually bad things happen to you. Nobody escapes.” The chat log shows audience members active throughout this segment, with several regulars including @NikkyFynnn, @Nightrain_Machine, and @ZenDark_WildCoconuts posting.

D’Amato claims on stream that copyright strikes he filed caused the channel’s termination and states he had a dozen additional strikes prepared. The clip establishes both the claim of prior filings and the stated readiness to continue filing had the channel remained active. The clip, together with the confirmed termination of @heronotzeronetwork, constitutes a documented record of D’Amato claiming responsibility for the removal and stating an intent to continue filing strikes against any reinstated channel.
