Just to be clear — I’m not saying every new YouTuber is a scammer. Most are just playing the new-age YouTube game: talking for hours, saying nothing of real value, but making you feel like you learned something. They're not stealing your money. They're stealing your time.

You forgot the biggest of the lot. R. Kiyosaki. He made money selling books that "taught" people how to make money when he had not made any. And created fictitional characters about his childhood

I'm 62 and retired a couple of years ago, self funded. I have friends who a not only multi millionaires but deca millionaires, some worth 50 million plus. In my experience there's a few ways to get rich "quick". 1. Be born into the right family, 2. Win the lottery, 3. Take a huge risk on an unknown stock, 4. Buy an unknown crypto before anyone else does. All 4 have one thing in common....luck. For the rest of us, it's to live within your means, invest wisely for the long term and focus on you. Never buy someone else's 🐂💩....

What is really funny is that this video is scamming you the opposite way. It gives you a sense of satisfaction that these are scams so you don’t have to feel behind or frustrated with your current situation.

If I were really rich, I wouldn’t spend time selling and promoting some bullshit course for an insane price. I’d be enjoying my life. At most, I’d share advice and talk about the mistakes I made along my journey so that others could learn from them. <br> <br>Unfortunately, young people often fall victim to these kinds of scams.

Alex Hormozi is where I draw the line when it comes to fake gurus. He’s not one of them.

In my opinion Alex Hormonzi isn’t a fake guru. He build physical companies and gives real advices.

Rule of thumb: if it's so "profitable" and "easy". Then why would they tell you all their secrets... Competition would just increase. They sell these courses because they are difficult to sell now and it's much easier to sell a course. They make all that money from the course. Meanwhile your left scratching your head. <br><br>Wake up people

The easiest way to spot a scam is asking yourself, is this too good to be true? Yeah, it is.

Prosperity gospel churches work exactly the same way.

Why aren’t YouTube or Meta held responsible for publishing adverts from these snake-oil salesmen? These companies should be fined for spreading false propaganda
